You will visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, The Western Wall and the Temple Mount/Golden Dome of The Rock, no other day tour from Tel Aviv visits the Temple Mount (not possible on Fridays, Saturdays and religious holydays). This is NOT a pilgrimage tour, we do visit the holy sites, but do not stand in line to enter the Tomb of Jesus or Golgotha.

Great day trip with an awesome guide. Gad was so full of information and also lots of fun and laughs. We never felt rushed, best tour ever!

The tour was amazing. Our guide, Nadia, was wonderful. She kept everyone in the group engaged and did not lose steam. She answered all questions and answered difficult topics in an insightful and respectful manner. The pace was perfect and we stayed at each site for the just the right amount of time. The bus had good a/c. The lunch was basic but I enjoyed the freshly cooked falafel. If you’re thinking of doing a non-pilgrim tour in Jerusalem and prefer to be in a smaller group, book this tour.

Best Jerusalem boutique tour! Gadi was the best tour guide anybody could have asked for! We visited all the places described in the tour and learned so much about Jerusalem history. Eyal, our driver was so cool and kind! He shared a cold bottle of beer at the end of the tour providing a moment to reflect of all the things we have learned.

Nadia was such an awesome tour guide. She was so knowledgeable about the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religious history of Jerusalem and all of Israel. She gave us so much information and history that peaked our interest at all times. It was an amazing tour! Thank you so much Nadia! I will definitely recommend you to all my friends.

Nadia was an amazing guide - personable and informative. She was very thorough both in the history of the region as well as the nuances of the cultures. She covered a lot in a relatively short time and kept on us a very good schedule for site seeing and breaks. Great tour!

Planning a trip to Israel / Tel Aviv, a Jerusalem visit is a no-brainer. We heared from Amazin Jerusalem / Menno de Vries earlier and read about the good reviews. Although we'd rather would have liked the tour to be in Dutch, the guide Gadi hosted our tour in English and he did well. This man is a walking wikipedia in the best sense of the word. It is quite an understatement that the Israel/Palistinian situation is quite particular, but every type of information during the excursion was brought in perspective to history and nothing else. A big cheers to the driver who offered us a cool bottle of beer on the ride home, providing us with a moment of ease and reflection of all the things we have seen and heared.

From the time we were picked off to the time we were dropped off we were in great hands. Our tour guide Nadia was fantastic giving us a lot of information with a fun delivery. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and highly recommend this tour. Our driver Eyal was very nice as well getting us back and forth smoothly and safely.

This was a fabulous tour! We were picked up on time in Tel-Aviv and had a nice drive to Jerusalem. Frank gave us lots of information on the drive so it was very enjoyable. We arrived and started our tour. Again Frank was very good and giving lots of valuable information. All the sites are just incredible to see. We had a wonderful lunch at a rooftop restaurant and were advised what shops to avoid and which shops could be trusted (but we were not made to shop ever, we could leave lunch a little early and shop if wanted). We chose to stay in Jerusalem after the tour (you have the option of using it as a transfer or returning to Tel Aviv). Would definitely recommend this tour!!

Great one-day trip to Jerusalem. It definitely exceeded our expectations. Nadia was a great and fun guide. She provided historical background to all the sites that we visited but she managed to keep it to what is essential only without going into unnecessary details. We visited a lot for one day and it was a nice mix of historical facts and how different religions interpreted it over the years. The lunch was nice as well and we also had just enough time to buy some souvenirs. Everything was well organized and on time. I definitely recommend this trip to everyone who wants to discover Jerusalem. The size of the group (18 people) was also great to walk around without getting lost and having delays.
