Thorough guide experience - Our guide was so thoroughly enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of the history of old Jerusalem. It was truly inspiring to have someone so animated and motivated to make sure his group was well informed and taken care of. Hats off to finding such great people through Viator. I will certainly book additional trips now and in the future.

Amazing tour of Jerusalem!! - Well organised trip from start to finish, our tour guide was Yova. He made the trip, was very informative, and somehow managed to keep our large group altogether even in the throes of the market area.
Explained everything to the group, and lots crammed in the tour. Lots of walking, but thoroughly enjoyed, I would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visit Jerusalem.
