Great Jerusalem tour

David_S, Sep 2023

Nadia was a great guide, she gave me the best history class I’ve had in a while, when going from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. She was entertaining and pleasant as well as patient. Visited Christian, Muslim and Jewish places (wish it included a little more Jewish) but very well balanced overall. Only recommendation would be adding a ear sound device with microphone for the guide so we can listen better in some of the crowded places.

AMAZING!! We loved the tour!

Avisha_M, Sep 2023

Nadia was fantastic!! Extremely knowledgeable, fun, and energetic - she was extremely open to chat about the history (both past and present). This is one of the best tours we have been on! The bus was AC and comfortable and on time! Would HIGHLY recommend!

Wooooowwwww!

Radhika_B, Sep 2023

Nadia was amazing and not to mention, what a place and fascinating history! She just brought the entire history for us to see and experience. It was just super worth it. I am glad I booked last minute.

Great!

EllenJost, Sep 2023

Nadia was a great tour guide. She was informative, witty and helpful. We saw a ton of stuff in a day

Bucket List ✅ Jerusalem from all views, literally and figuratively.

Marnie_W, Jul 2023

Exceeds expectations thanks to Nadia!! Tour company was amazing. All information about what to expect and bring was provided prior as well as pick up location. Pickup was on time, driver was kind (I’m sorry I forget his name) van was very clean, comfortable and air conditioned. We chose this small boutique tour on purpose and it was well worth every penny. It was easy for Nadia to keep track of everyone, it was nice to get to know one another, everyone could surround Nadia easily to hear her stories and explanations. The actual journey to Jerusalem was incredibly informative. Nadia gave a very comprehensive, easy to understand history lesson. Making sure we had the information that would ensure an even more memorable visit. The schedule was perfect and due to Nadia’s organization we were able to experience a few extra things, beyond the itinerary. Nadia’s explanations often included visual aids. The historical information provided outstanding, enlightening, past and present. It was very special to walk through the different Quarters, and witness places so sacred to many, where people are able to co-exist peacefully, respectfully. Nadia, thank you so much for making this trip so special. Your kindness, patience, sense of humour, knowledge and the way in which you presented everything, objectively, without judgement will stick with us forever. There were a perfect amount of water and bathroom breaks, a quick stop for a snack and an organized lunch with a magnificent view. We highly recommend this tour!!!

Hi Marnie, Thank you for taking the time to write a review and great to read you had a wonderful experience with Nadia..

Jerusalem Tour

Katrina_E, Jul 2023

The Tour Guide, Nadia, was very knowledgeable on the 3 main faiths and the significance of Jerusalem to them. She was friendly, caring, humorous and punctual. There were no negative surprises. The luncheon was good. She made sure we had plenty of opportunities to stop to use the toilet and take a coffee break as well as prepare us to cover up in the Islamic area. This was our best and most significant tour in Israel. My dream of seeing Jerusalem has come true. In fact, my husband and I were saying we could’ve spent a day or two more here.

Super knowledgeable guide, excellent itinerary

Peng_L, Jun 2023

Our tour guide is very knowledgeable and friendly. It made a big difference for my experience. Without her, a lot of places will just be walls to me. I’ll have a hard time understanding the significance of the holy sites.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

I am happy to know you enjoyed the tour, thank you!

Would highly recommend...

Leah_K, Jun 2023

Would highly recommend this tour! Was a far more authentic, more enjoyable experience than what some of my friends had on other larger tours.

Amazing Jerusalem day

Jack_T, May 2023

Frank and the driver were fantastic! Frank gave most amazing biblical review on the way in and really did a great job! We had a fun group and would highly recommend frank! Easy to understand his english

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for your review, we are happy you liked our tour and the guide!

Great tour!

Angus_P, May 2023

Efrat was a great tour guide who provided lots of interesting insights. I enjoyed sticking to the sites rather than stopping at gift shops (like many other tours). I would highly recommend the tour to others.

Education, entertaining, excellent.

Margaret_T, Apr 2023

Wonderful, fun, and educational tour. Our guide Gabi, was extremely well versed and humorously entertaining. Tip: definitely bring a water bottle, comfortable shoes, and an open curiosity.

Scenic views & a memorable experience

Julia_D, Apr 2023

I booked to go on this tour with my mother. It was our first time visiting Israel. There was so much to see! We were picked up in a mini van, which was very comfortable. The drive to and from Jerusalem went very smooth thanks to our driver Tony, whom was very patient. In the van we were offered water and coffee. Our tour guide, Itai was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour very fun. We had a wonderful view of Jerusalem and the dome of the rock from the top of a mountain. I also enjoyed the wailing wall, cafe, and restaurant that we were taken to. There is definitely a lot of walking so if you plan on going, I highly recommend you bring comfortable shoes. It was definitely a memorable experience. Would highly recommend!

Unique Jerusalem Tour Guy.

Jose_P, Mar 2023

Great Tour! I enjoy everything about it. Frank is very knowledgeable about everything in Jerusalem. What I liked the must is the way he told the history of it in a way that makes it to be so fund which makes it easy to understand and remember. Great experience! I recommend it to everybody.

Highly recommend a small group tour.

Carla_H, Mar 2023

Love Jerusalem! Have previously toured with large groups. Decided to try this boutique tour and loved the intimacy of a smaller group. Great conversations and opportunities to chat and get to know others. Our driver and guide Frank were both kind and professional. Highly recommend.

Great way to discover Jerusalem

Adrian_P, Feb 2023

The tour was very well organized and the tour guide gave plenty of relevant information. We visited all highlights of Jerusalem except the Mount Rock because it was Friday and it's closed to general public visits.

Highly recommended

Toni_F, Feb 2023

The Tour was Amazing! Exceeded my expectations. Frank, and Cactus were so engaging so funny. They were excellent. I highly recommend this tour. Ask to have Frank as your tour guide and get ready for a wonderful journey

Amazing

Natasha_H, Jan 2023

Loved this tour. So much history. Small intimate group. Not too intense or long. Really enjoyed this.

Enjoyable!

Nikesh_P, Jan 2023

Very enjoyable! Great information and flow for someone who wants the highlights of Jerusalem (and not too much of the religious part). Beers were on the ready for a melo ride back after lots of walking.

Amazing Day Trip to Jerusalem!

Cameron_M, Dec 2022

Nadia was an amazing tour guide and explained so much of the history of the area! The tour is fast-paced because there is so much to squeeze into the day! We were able to tour all of the major sites of the area, and they were amazing! The day concluded with an ice cold beer! :)

Memorable day in a historic place.

craig_k, Dec 2022

Frank, our tour guide, was incredibly well informed with historical and tourism related information as well as being really personable.
