There is so much to see and learn about.also there were many activities for the kids you like making dream catcher. The guided tour is musk be taken because it's a big place. It's also combining history with technology which very appropriate for kids.Written August 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MooshLACalabasas, CA590 contributionsFirst and foremost, these tours (both Bridge and Rock tours) are well worth a visit. I have been to Israel many times however this was the first that I purchased tickets to experience the lower section. It was quite a cool experience. I opted for the English tours and my guide Sharon was outstanding. I look forward to returning in the future once additional areas are opened up.
Suggestions:
*Wear comfortable shoes
*If you have issues with narrow passageways, this tour may not be for you as it traverses long narrow walkways for a majority of the tour,
*You walk for 70% of the time so be prepared.
*The tours are stacked and in between they flow in bar mitzvah groups which tend to get loud and disruptive to the paid group tours.
*Be sure to check in at least 15-20 minutes before your tour (they suggest 30).
*Each tour lasts 60-70 minutes each.
*Be ready to learn quite a bit about the First and Second Temples which I found to be very informative and interesting for as much as I have learned during my school days.Written July 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Some of the really quirky little shops are still there with great stuff at low prices. But each time we go, with a year or two in between, there are more and more restaurants and fewer shops.Written July 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,538 contributionsThe Garden Tomb is believed to be the site of the burial of Jesus. The location is related to Jerusalem.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,538 contributionsThe Al Aqua Mosque is fascinating, it's the third most sacred it in Islam. It can hold 5,000 worshippers for Friday prayers. The Al Aqsa Mosque is on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. If you want to visit, it's best to make arrangements in advance.Written October 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gabriel APloiesti, Romania4,917 contributionsChurch of All Nations, known and as Basilica of the Agony is situated on the Mount of Olives, near Gethsemane Garden in East Jerusalem.
In this church is located the rock on which Jesus Christ prayed in his last days of life.
It's a large and monumental church.
It's very important landmark of Jerusalem, visited by the faithful pilgrims who arrived here.Written April 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The tunnel shaft that King David used to surprise the enemy so he could take over this mountain; the place where King David set up a tent to house the Ark of the Covenant, the pool where Solomon was anointed as the person to succeed his father as the next king; inscribed seals of known people during the reign of King Josiah, and inscribed seal of Jeremiah's scribe when Jeremiah was commanded to redeem his relative's property.
These evidences and more of Biblical history await you.Written June 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... with Mrs. Place and two teenage boys while going to and returning from the annual commemoration of the 25 hour fast on the calendar date that the Jewish Temple was destroyed 1954 years ago.
We walked through and looked at all the stores, which were active at night after the conclusion of the fast day
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
Going there and being there is free; buying anything anywhere is expensive
WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE AGAIN?"
Yes if I have a reason to be there
ADVICE
* If you need to see an outdoor upscale shopping mall, you can do that here
* If you need to see the integration of Jewish and Arab Israelis who shop and work here together, you can do that here.
* There is a large density of quality restaurants in the city- take advantage of that and have a meal while you are there- Cafe Rimon (milky), Cafe Greg (milky), Roladin (milky) and Aroma (milky), but avoid Joy Meat (meaty) which is way too expensive (see my previous reviews of those placesWritten August 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
