Itinerary:
Depart Tel Aviv between8.30 and 9.30am
On the way to Jerusalem you will hear about the history of Israel and the Jewish people.
After about an hour we arrive at the Mount of Olives from which we have a magnificent view of the Old City of Jerusalem and the very first city; the City of David.
We walk down to the Dominus Flevit church and see the hundred thousand Jewish graves towards Gethsemaneh, the place of the Judas kiss.
From the valley the bus to bring us up again, this time to the Dung gate where we enter the Old City.
On foot we continue to the Old City, through the Jewish, Armenian, Christian and Muslim quarters. Here we will visit the Temple Mount (NOT possible on Fridays and Saturdays), the Wailing Wall, the Roman Cardo, part of the Via Dolorosa and Golgotha, the place of the crucifixion, in the Holy Sepulcher.
During the tour there is a stop in the Christian part of the Old City that can be used for lunch and / or shopping.
Lunch is not included and because of the group dynamics it is not appreciated if you stop at shops during other times.

Difference with other day tours to Jerusalem?
In short: it is fun, interesting, and you don't have to get up early while experiencing more.
Several points of departure
With other tour operators you can be picked up at any hotel. That sounds nice and is useful if you leave at 7 o'clock, but if you are unlucky it takes 1.5 hours extra. Not only does your bus go to many hotels, after which you have to switch to a central location for your destination.
We leave late and have chosen central places where the bus stops, you can see them at www.amazingjerusalem.com/pick-up-locations-in-tel-aviv/.
A few days before the tour, your guide will send you the expected time at the pick up place.
Small group
We drive to Jerusalem with a minibus with max. 19 passengers. People who are already in Jerusalem can join too, but the group will never have more than 19 people. This is the so-called "business" option with other tour operators (though usually with one guide guiding in two languages), because their normal group size can go up to 50+ people.
All day in Old Jerusalem
Almost all day tours spend a few hours in the Holocaust museum Yad Vashem. We definitely recommend a visit to this unique museum, but you do not need a guide. With more time our tour is more relaxed, we walk down the Mount of Olives, visit the Temple Mount (except Fidays and Saturdays when it is not allowed), walk past the City of David and we visit more sites in the Old City.

What do others say about this tour to Jerusalem" on Tripadvisor?
An unforgettable day
For us Jerusalem guided by Menno de Vries was the highlight of our stay in Israel. An absolute must for anyone who visits this country. Menno can inexhaustibly tell you about the history and the current situation of the country so that you can understand the impossible situation in which the population is located.
Great experience
It was a great experience this day in Jerusalem with our guide Menno. He knows so much about the history and the present in Israel that we learned a lot from him about that. And he has shown us all the beautiful and special places. Menno is very helpful and has booked a good restaurant for us in Tel Aviv. The advantage is also that the minibus, with excellent driver, drives back over the toll road, along all traffic jams. So back home fast, after a great day. Thank you Menno!
Top excursion
Have had a super excursion. The advantage of this excursion is that it is not large-scale and that a lot of time is lost. In a somewhat smaller group you can hear and see a lot more and in addition ...... with Menno you have a good and very helpful guide. Menno has shown us Jerusalem in a fun way where we have really seen a lot. Definitely value for money. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to do an excursion to Jerusalem (in my opinion you can not do without a guide there)
