The Jerusalem tour was excellent. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, patient, entertaining and well-versed in the history and the religious and political nuances of Old Jerusalem. It was truly an eye opening and wonderful experience. Abraham Tours are well organized and user friendly.

Jerusalem is worth at least one trip... especially with a guide like Shaia (?) 😊 he told us with so much passion about all the tensions, religious backgrounds, historical events, etc., better than any documentary about Israel and the story behind it 😊
