This private tour of Jerusalem quite literally changed my life. I booked directly through the company website less than 48 hours before the tour and they responded immediately. The company owner and my incredible tour guide, Menno, came to my hotel lobby in Tel Aviv the day before and explained the full-day itinerary to me, making sure we’d go to all the sights I wanted to visit. We had a private driver, Ronny, who was wonderful, very knowledgeable and always there to pick us up at the different sights with AC and water waiting. Menno is a local and knows so much history about all the sights in Jerusalem and all of Israel. We saw many holy sights, the highlights for me were the Mount of Olives, Hezekiah’s Tunnel (a MUST, bring your water shoes or buy them at the visitors center), the Western Wall, Temple Mount, Dome of the Rock, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, lunch in the Old City, City of David where they are actively excavating and finding new historical treasures every day! It made such a difference having Menno one-on-one to explain to me the significance of every sight we visited and the people we met along the way. The private tour is worth every shekel because you will see and learn things you would miss out on if you book the less expensive group tours. Don’t skimp on this once in a lifetime experience! Menno also recommended things for me to do in Tel Aviv (LaLa Land, Bauhaus Center, Kabbalah Center) that made my trip even more special. Lastly, this is an amazing time to go to Jerusalem because there are no crowds due to the geopolitical situation. However, I felt 100% safe and welcomed everywhere I went during my visit to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The people here are incredible. Amazing Jerusalem Tours is the #1 Tour company for a reason - book them!

Description
A luxury visit to all the highlights of the Mount of Olives and the Old City of Jerusalem with an amazing private guide. Both the road to and around the Old City in Jerusalem can be very crowded. We use a separate driver and a luxury van to not only transport you safely while update you of the regional events of the last 3 millennia, but also release you of any stress and lost time of not finding parking or snailing in packed traffic. This tour is 100% private and can be personalized. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Tel Aviv or Jaffa. Please note: a visit to the Temple Mount is not possible on Friday, Saturday and Muslim holidays.

Menno was great!
We did a tour to the Dead Sea in the morning and then to Jerusalem in the afternoon. Menno was a great guide. He did a great job telling the history of Israel and of the specific places we visited. His insider knowledge of the best places to stop in Jerusalem was invaluable. Thanks Menno!

Amazing Jerusalem & Dead Sea - Menno’s the best!
Menno is a fantastic guide! He made sure everything went smoothly and he taught us so much about Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. It was fun learning about the political & religious landscape over the last 5,000 years, and he put historical events in context to help us understand their relevance in modern times. Also, Menno was very flexible and accommodating of our party’s needs. I highly recommend him for your next tour.

Amazing Holy Land Experience
I truly loved my trip to the Holy Land! I attribute this to our guide Herzl Ein-Eli. He provided so much information that made the experience that much enjoyable. He made the Bible come alive by showing you and explaining to you Jewish customs and the Hebrew language that gave life to words of the Bible. I always felt comfortable asking questions. I loved listening to relatable stories and he always had a great restaurant recommendation. Toda Herzl!

Excellent Tour!
We feel very privilivged to have Leontine as our French/English guide. She's by far the best guide that we have ever had: enthoustitc, warm and easy to get along with. She explained everything well and clearly because of her curiosity and knowledge. Thanks to Leontine, we learnt a lot about history and culture. We highly recommand recommand explore Old city of Jerusalem with Leontine!

3 unforgettable days in Jerusalem
We have made a family visit (with a 1-year-old baby) through Jerusalem, Dead Sea and Masada guided by Augustine. Travel that we will not forget for how varied it was, how well organized it was and the information it gave us. More than recommend the experience. Thank you, Agustina.
