Full description
Take this 3-hour walking tour of old Jerusalem to understand why it is the spiritual center of the world for Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike. Expert guides will tell you some of Jerusalem’s 5,000-year history, as you visit the sites caught in the story that has included centuries of peace and worship, as well as controversy, bloodshed, and war. You will be led through security to this holiest of sites and hear of the beginnings of Israel once you are beyond old Jaffa Gate. During the tour you will see the sites of Temple Mount, as well as Al-Aqsa Mosque, the 5 Pillars of Islam, Dome of the Chain, Mount Zion and Zion Gate, St. Alexander’s Russian Orthodox Church, Dormition Abbey, Via Dolorosa, The Western (Wailing) Wall – including the hidden sections – and much more.

And enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where for over 1,500 years, a church has stood on the rocky hill of Calvary, site of Jesus’ crucifixion and burial. The tour is not political, and you are asked to leave your prejudices behind.

Olga was excellent. Knowledgeable and personable. She made every effort in a very busy time to keep her large group together. Many strayed for their own interests and caught up later. Too bad as they missed a super tour!! Her timing was impeccable as well! Terrific tour guide with accurate history info and stories! Thx much. Barb & Lionel ps. we are 80 and found it very worthwhile!

I was really happy to have booked this guided tour through Jerusalems old city. Anna, our guide, gave us detailed information to many aspects of modern and ancient times in Jerusalem, Western Wall, Armenian, Christian, Arabian, Jewish Quarter, and many aspects of different emperors, Muslims, Hebrews and Jesus ways in Jerusalem. She also showed us a nice cafe for a rest and gave us many advice for restaurants, markets, food, museums and the Holocaust-Forum. Four hours passed so quickly... I would highly recommend her and the tour!
