The guide was very informative and we covered a ton of history during the tour.

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.

Full description

Starting from Jaffa Gate of the Old City, we’ll step back into time and walk through the different Quarters of the Old City. Taking in the indescribable energy that every corner presents, we’ll visit the sites most holy to all three religions. To Jews, King David’s Tomb and the Western (Wailing) Wall, the last remains of the Jewish Temple which stood here thousands of year ago. To Muslims, the site where the Prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven, the Dome of the Rock, as well as the beautiful Al Aqsa Mosque. And to Christians, the Via Dolorosa along which Christ walked with his own cross to his crucifixion, and the room of the last supper, as well as venturing inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre! Biblical stories will be put into context as you stand in the place where they took place whilst learning about the 5 Pillars of Islam, the foundation of the Jewish nation and the discovery of the True Cross, to name a few.

Our group tour in Jerusalem with SHAHAR was absolutely fantastic! SHAHAR was incredibly knowledgeable, super friendly, and had a great sense of humor. He answered all our questions patiently and made the entire tour not only very informative but also really enjoyable. We learned so much about the history, culture, and hidden stories of Jerusalem. If you are lucky enough to have SHAHAR as your guide, you are definitely in the best hands!
