If you ever get the opportunity, and are in reasonably good health, you MUST take this tour!!! It was amazing to retrace the steps of Jesus from Bethphage to Jerusalem. Entering Old Jerusalem through the Lions Gate, walking the Via Delarosa and visiting the sites of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Our tour guide Yoav Malachi was excellent in his guidance and sharing of knowledge. I highly recommend him as he was personable, passionate about history and responsive to his groups requests or particular needs.

Spending such a holy day in such a holy site was out of this world. The whole day was absolutely amazing. It was also a full day of activity from the transport to Bethpage to the opening service to the unbelievable procession with thousands of people from around the world. Plus our guide, Yoav Malachi, was terrific. He helped to make the day extra special between providing safe transportation to and from Tel Aviv, taking his time to explain some of the holy sites we passed along the procession, ensuring we had ample time to take in the energy and magnitude of Palm Sunday, as well as taking us through the old city after the procession. All in all it was a magnificent experience, and highly recommend attending this event if you are ever in Jerusalem on a Palm Sunday, and I highly recommend touring with Yoav as he will ensure your experience is exceptional.
