Full description
We’ll pick you up at your Tel Aviv hotel in the morning and drive you in an air-conditioned coach along Highway No. 1 towards Jerusalem. You’ll be accompanied by our professional guide throughout the tour. At Mount Scopus, one of the highest peaks in Jerusalem, we’ll stop so you can take in the panoramic overview. You’ll see the New City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount Esplanade of the Old City as well. Our route takes us along the Kidron Valley, from which point you’ll see the Garden of Gethsemane and the walls of the city. We’ll visit the Armenian Quarter stopping at the Western (Wailing) Wall Square. Next we’ll take in the local Bazaar and the Christian Quarter, followed by the Stations of the Cross (Via Dolorosa) and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which commemorates the site of the crucifixion. We continue our tour with a walk along the 1,700-year-old Byzantine main street, the Cardo, and see the renovated Jewish Quarter. Our tour ends in the Old City in Jerusalem at approximately 1:30 PM.

This was a well organized overview of the old city of Jerusalem. The guide was extremely knowledgable and went out of his way to make sure we were all "family" and took pictures of each other along the way. Great tour for the money...don't miss this one!

Please! Don't drag us to the gift souvenir shop!!! Everything was wonderful - the guide was nice and explaining very coherently and we learned a lot about Jerusalem. We (4 people) enjoyed the tour, except this visit, that was forced upon us, and caused embarresement. Thank you!

A very well organized trip - pick up on time, a comfortable bus, a freindly and knowledgeable guide - I would gladly recommend this tour to whoever wants to get a glimpse of Jerusalem - an absolutely marvellous city - in half a day and is looking for good value for money.
