Reisroute

45 min

Panoramisch uitzicht op de Olijfberg met uitzicht op de oude stad van Jeruzalem We zullen de oude stad in al zijn glorie zien, inclusief de Rotskoepel, de derde heiligste plaats in de islam en het iconische uitzicht op Jeruzalem, de koepel van de kerk van het Heilig Graf waar velen geloven dat Jezus werd gekruisigd en herrezen, en de Hurva Synagoge de grootste joodse synagoge in de oude stad.

30 min

We lopen dan naar de Kerk van de Hemelvaart waar men gelooft dat Jezus 40 dagen na de opstanding naar de hemel is opgestegen.

110 min

Daarna lopen we naar de Paternosterkerk, waar Jezus het Onze Vader onderwees. Vervolgens lopen we de berg af volgens de route die pelgrims op Palmzondag nemen. Mattheüs 21:1; en Marcus 11:1 beschrijven de intocht van Jezus in Jeruzalem aan het begin van de laatste week van zijn leven. Aan onze linkerkant passeren we de oudste joodse begraafplaats ter wereld (3000 jaar). De graven omvatten die van Absalom, de zoon van koning David, de profeten Haggaï, Maleachi en Zacharia en de premier van Israël, Menachem Begin.

50 min

waar Jezus weende over Jeruzalem. In Mattheüs 24–25; Markus 13; Lucas 21 Jezus voorspelt de verwoesting van Jeruzalem en het einde van de wereld - 2 dagen voor zijn kruisiging. We zien de prachtige architectuur van de kerk.

20 min

We komen dan bij de traditionele plaats van de Hof van Gethsemane, waar Jezus bad net voordat hij werd verraden door Judas Iskariot (Matteüs 26; Markus 14). Eens een weelderige olijfgaard (Gethsemane betekent oliepers in oud-Hebreeuws) is nu de plaats van de Kerk van alle Volkeren, versierd met gewelfde plafonds en glas-in-loodramen. De kerk wordt ook wel de kerk van de doodsangst genoemd, omdat het de plaats herdenkt waar Jezus zijn laatste nacht doorbracht voordat hij werd verraden.

85 min

We bezoeken het graf van Maria, de traditionele plaats van het graf van Maria, de moeder van God. Ernaast is de Grot waarvan wordt aangenomen dat het de plek is waar Jezus zijn laatste nacht doorbracht.

105 min

Vervolgens lopen we de heuvel op naar de oude stad van Jeruzalem en gaan de Leeuwenpoort binnen. Het is het begin van de Via Dolorosa de Kruisweg. Dit is de traditionele route die Jezus volgde na zijn veroordeling door Pontius Pilatus naar de plaats van de kruisiging. We zullen de eerste 9 staties van de kruisweg zien, namelijk: (1) De plaats waar Jezus ter dood werd veroordeeld; (2) Jezus moet zijn kruis dragen (Kerk van de Geseling/Kerk van de Kruisoplegging en Kerk van Ecce Homo); (3) Jezus valt voor de eerste keer; (4) Jezus ontmoet zijn moeder (Kerk van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Smarten); (5) Simon van Cyrene moet het kruis dragen (kapel van Simon van Cyrene); (6) Veronica veegt het gezicht van Jezus af; (7) Jezus valt voor de tweede keer; (8) De vrouwen van Jeruzalem wenen over Jezus; (9) Jezus valt voor de derde keer; 1 uur lunch in de christelijke wijk van de oude stad

60 min

We gaan de kerk van het Heilig Graf binnen. Dit is de plaats van Jezus' kruisiging en opstanding en de laatste 5 staties van het kruis: Jezus wordt ontdaan van zijn kleren; Jezus wordt aan het kruis genageld; Jezus sterft aan het kruis; Jezus wordt van het kruis gehaald; En Jezus wordt in het graf gelegd.

60 min

We lopen dan naar de Westelijke Muur, de heiligste plek in het jodendom en zien het laatste overblijfsel van de Heilige Tempel die in het jaar 70 na Christus werd verwoest.

The greatest Tour of the Holy Land.

This tour with Simon was everything we hoped for and more. We had the most fabulous and meaningful tour and experience. Simon provided us with thoughtful information, catered specifically to our interest and beliefs. We could tell his tours are carefully thought out and he took us chronologically through our itinerary so we really felt like we were immersed in the experience and in the order of what we were seeing and learning about. He gave us time to reflect and we didn’t feel rushed which allowed us to have a deeper experience. Simon was very open to answering all our questions and we loved where he took us for lunch. It ended up being one of our favourite meals. We have already been recommending Simon to our friends and family when they hopefully visit Israel soon. Thank you Simon for giving us a tour to remember for the rest of our lives. On a sidenote once you’re in Israel, you will discover that people are going about living their day-to-day life and any situations that may be happening don’t interfere with your fantastic time.

Amazing Jerusalem Tour

We had the most phenomenal experience with Simon on our day exploration of Jerusalem. We had even made a special request in order to meet a Rabbi so that our two teen could have their Bat Mitzvah and Simon worked it into the schedule perfectly. Additionally, one member of our family is in a wheelchair, and Simon worked the tour of Jerusalem to be accessible in the most amazing way. He was kind, smart, and immensely knowledgeable about Jerusalem‘s history and beauty. If, and when we return to Israel, we will absolutely reach out to Simon again in order to explore another amazing city in Israel. The entire family, including two teenagers were thrilled to have Simon by our side.

Hi Deb, It was a pleasure to be the guide for you, your husband and your amazing daughters. I felt privileged to be able to share in the experience of marking their b'npt mitzvah at Robinson's Arch. I hope the memory of that fabulous day stays with you all for a very long time.

Imagine Israel provides great service

Simon was an excellent and enjoyable guide. He transported us from Jerusalem to the north with an overnight stay in Zichron Yaakov. Along the way we toured a goat cheese farm which was delightful. Best of all, he arranged for a stop outside of Zichron for a wine tasting at Bat Shlomo winery which was a magical experience. The location/setting, the tour,tasting and the staff were outstanding. Second day travels took us to Ein Hod artist colony and then to Tel Aviv. All along the way he was able to provide extensive knowledge about Israel and the areas we drove through. Highly recommend him.

Fantastic Tour with a Fantastic Guide

We spent two days with Simon. I wish it was more. Before our cruise, Simon asked what we were interested in seeing. We were in Israel before, and we discussed plans for the two days our cruise was there. Simon developed a plan and was accessible beforehand. He picked us up at the different ports and made sure we had a great time. I can’t wait to go back! Go Arsenal!

Great tour of the old city

We booked a guided tour of the old city in Jerusalem with Simon and we had a wonderful experience. He was great with our children and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We could not recommend him higher - we really enjoyed the day!!!!

Amazing experiences with a top notch tour guide.

Simon could not have been a better tour guide for our family. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the history of each site - presented with a genuine fun nature, a sense of humour and lots of patience. You feel comfortable with Simon, you learn and you have fun. Guiding us did not seem like a job for Simon - he seemed to truly enjoy the time spent together.

Aaah.... you found my weak spot..... As I say to many visitors, how can I not enjoy my job when the whole of the Land of Israel is my 'office'! I'm delighted that you enjoyed our time together, as I did.

The BEST tour guide for the Old City with heat-cranky kids in August and STILL having an amazing time!!

I knew August in the Old City with an 8 and 10 year-old wasn't going to be easy but our tour guide, Simon, not only made it possible but actually enjoyable. Simon came prepared for everything and anything- one part Indiana Jones, equal measure Mary Poppins. The kids are thirsty? Out pops cold water from his magical bag. The kids are restless? Out pops something to keep them busy, a choice of healthy snacks or playing chatty games with them-- all while effortlessly navigating the ancient terrain and teaching us about the unbelievable history of the area. Simon's knowledge of the sites we toured was entertaining and informative without feeling like you've crashed a Middle Eastern college lecture. How much do you want to learn? How deep do you want to dive? He's willing to customize the experience according to your wishes. It was so refreshing to have a private tour in (the King's) English. Our group ranged from 8 to 77 years-old and had both native (American) English speakers and English as a second language speakers. Absolutely everyone could understand and effortlessly converse with Simon. Thankfully he was able to speak for us with native Israeli museum staff, restaurant workers, guards, etc. and eliminate that travel stress. After we toured the Western Wall Tunnels, my husband commented that he wished we could have just toured with only Simon- not the tunnel tour guide they assigned us. I agreed wholeheartedly. It would have been more enjoyable, faster and we would have gotten more out of it than the (mandatory) 25+ group at that time slot. Simon was able to help us stay together, answer questions, and take us out the way we came for an easier, more interesting return to the car through the market. It's never enough time in Jerusalem-- or Israel for that matter!! However, we couldn't have fit another thing in our day. Our time was well planned and used well. Simon made a hectic, long day with cranky, hot kids possible. We always felt safe (no small feat in highway traffic), listened to, cared for and above all had such a good experience in the most difficult summer heat. I give Imagine Israel Tours my highest recommendations. Simon was a SPECTACULAR tour guide and couldn't have done anything more to make our experience flawless and enjoyable. We're already thinking about trying to schedule a different tour with Simon before we leave.

It was my pleasure to be able to share my passion for Jerusalem with you and your family - especially your boys, who were so full of interest and wonder. I always feel privileged that I have the opportunity to meet lovely families like yours and spend time sharing my love of Israel. See you again soon??!!
