What people are saying about Al-Aqsa Mosque
Overall rating
Tania was an exceptional guide. I was part of a small yet diverse group of seven. I’ve been on many guided tours in many countries but she’s absolutely the best. She’s very knowledgable, calm, and engaging. She would stop to share relevant stories and historical facts without judgment. No stops at shopping centers that other guides here do, no political statements that other guides here do. She focused really on showing the most places that we could fit in the number of hours we had without rushing us. She never stopped giving us information for four straight hours. What surprised me the next day is that she nonchalantly took us literally to the dome of the rock, but I learned from Israeli friends that it’s not easy to be there. She never took credit for giving us such a unique experience. I wish I had shekels to give her a large tip. I regret not having any bills on me. She really deserves A LOT of credit. Really grateful to have done a tour with her.
Thx to Tania for that amazing walk-through the old town of Jerusalem. She enlightened it with so much joy and knowledge about history, religious background and was able to answer all unexpected questions that came up… 100/100
Thanks again to Alex, our fantastic tour guide. We had a great time together and he was very professional. A memorable experience. Thank you.
Tania was an incredible tour guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly & very helpful! 100% satisfied.
The guide was very informative and we covered a ton of history during the tour.
