WOW! what an experience. Our tour was a Spanish/English mix and the tour guide did an excellent job at making sure both languages needs were met. I wish i would’ve written his name down because he was great!!!! This tour included where Jesus was buried which was very emotional for my mom to see. At the end of the tour, while we were waiting for the bus to take off, the tour guide came up to my mom and i with an olive branch from a tree and some rosemary and handed it to my mom. He told her he knew out of everyone in the group, she would appreciate something like this. And she definitely did!!! It made us both emotional and we greatly appreciate how thoughtful it was of him to think of something so special. We absolutely recommend this tour to anyone and again want to thank our amazing tour guide for making today such a special day for us.

The experience was outstanding, the taxi driver and the guide were so good. They give you their personal experience.
The guide of Abdalahad was specially good. It’s a pleasure listen his explanations about the Cristian places that you visit and how the Cristian community lives there. If you want a more spiritual, personal and connective experience in your visit to Bethlehem that’s your tour.

The tour worth the price, the tour guide very nice and informative. The driver also very cooperative. The guide explained everything properly in a funny way. The lunch was a charity, I did not eat. They did not provide water nor snack during the trip, so don’t wait for a lunch, go with food and water or keep buying during the trip. But sill was very nice trip due to the guide even the nice people that provide de cold and old cooked food.

The sights that the tour covered were beautiful and moving, but unfortunately the guide detracted from the experience. It could have started better - they were late (and unapologetic). We paid more for this tour because it was advertised as smaller groups but we were around 25.
All that aside, the guide was unfortunately flippant and almost rude to some of the guests who asked questions. He actually answered on one occasion that he didn't know the answer to a question because he "wasn't there at the time that it was built". He showed us a map that he admitted was bad but that he hadn't had time to get a new one....
At the end of the half day, he brought us at a restaurant and suggested we eat there with the whole day tour and he would guide us out after lunch to the agreed upon ending point. When we said that we would rather try going out by ourselves and if he could just point the way, he claimed it was a maze and too complicated to give us directions. The man we bought water from in front of the restaurant had no trouble telling us to go straight, turn right and then right again - it was a 5 minute, super simple walk.
Going on a tour of the Dome of the Rock and the Western Wall is a great idea, just maybe not with this tour group.....

Bein Harim is regretful that this was the nature of your tour experience.We will have to investigate it fully. Kindly pass this to our customer service dept in an email,
Such feeback is essentiall for us to hold all guides accountable, which we do, !The shabby map is not acceptable but his humor is...
Obviously this is not the norm! kind of behaviour, as the 94 % 5 star reviews on this platform indicate. Our guides are 5 star standard!
One can indeed get very easily lost in the the alleys of the Old City. Fact, especially not being familiar.That would be a standard answer, as he did offer to show you out, after the lunch . He was not being out of manner.but honest, maybe too much so,...
Lunch is not mandatory but this is a group tour and shedule and the guide manages this accordingly.

Aside from the wait in the morning for the bus to show up to get our tour started the tour was a good overview of the old city. Sigal did a good job explaining the history mixed with some stories and anecdotes keeping it interesting and on pace. I would recommend for those with short time and an interest in a good overview.

We did a half day walking tour of Jerusalem with Itamar Buk as our guide. The tour itself was very interesting and we saw a lot of landmarks from 3 major religions. I also thought our guide added greatly to the experience. He was knowledgeable, friendly and very enthusiastic. I would recommend this tour on the beginning of your trip to Jerusalem.

I booked the Jerusalem: Old and New Tour through Tourist Israel. Kobi was a fantastic guide, who was so passionate about teaching our group about Jerusalem.
We started the day at Mount Scorpus, then proceeded to tour the Old City, walked through all Four Quarters, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Western Wall. We had lunch in the Old City as well, and in the afternoon toured Yad Vashem - the World Holocaust Remembrance Center.
I cannot recommend this tour enough. It was an incredibly moving experience and well-organized. Thanks Kobi!

I am staying with family on Ussishkin Street. Where would be the closest pick up?
Do you have afternoon tour? My family and I will be arriving at ben Gurion at 8:30am
Do you have a half day tour of Jerusalem in the afternoon? We shall be arriving at ben Gurion at 8:30 am then take a taxi to Jerusalem where we will be staying for a few nights.
Thank you,

Good evening! Aside from viewing the the Dome of the Rock from mt. of Olives, is it possible to get close to this site? I know that only Muslims could enter the Dome and El-Aqsa but at least getting close not only viewing from the mt. of Olives.

It was not possible through this tour to get closer look. That would have to be something planned separately if you plan to do this tour.
