The best way to discover Old Jerusalem - What a super informative and helpful way to discover Old Jerusalem! Our guide - Nimrod- was exceptional! As a former tourist guide in my early professional career, I can truly appreciate how knowledgeable, patient and considerate Nimrod was! The tour includes all the highlights of Old Jerusalem, leaving you wanting to continue the exploration on your own.
One recommendation for Viator and Abraham Tours: improve the description of the tour and include what the actual tour visits: all the major sites, the different quarters, time for lunch and Turkish coffee, etc.

Old City Free Tour is a good starting point - We did the free Old City walking tour. Our guide was excellent. At the end of the tour she gave us suggestions on where to eat and places to go. The tour is a good starting point.

Fascinating, rich and entertaining - I really enjoyed the free Old City tour of Jerusalem with Alex . He was entertaining, accessible and knowledgeable and sensitive to the group’s needs . I also went on the Mount of Olives tour with him in the afternoon - and found it really good . (10% discount on this tour after attending the free one !) Would heartily recommend !

Excellent free walking tour, highly recommend! - We opted for the free walking tour to get a feel for the old town. Orna was an excellent guide, professional knowledgeable and interesting. She held our interest throughout and was able to answer all manner of questions in detail. It was evident she has vast knowledge of all of the different religions, regions or Israel and particularly Jerusalem. The tour lasted over 2.5hrs but it flew by and there was a stop for water and toilets. We all thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour and have no hesitation in recommending this tour.

The best tour guide ever - This lady made our tour come alive , she had a head set and ear pieces for all of us , she has a gift for history/ story telling . The 4hrs whizzed by . If anyone gets the chance to book a tour ask for Orna she is a gem . Our group of 16 ladies totally loved her and would happily adopted her .

Best one day Jerusalem tour - Top recommendation. I’d visited the Old City before but seeing with our expert guide Shahar made for an amazing new experience.

Wonderful guided tour with Shahar! - The free guided tour with Shahar of the Old City of Jerusalem was truly unforgettable! Shahar's enthusiasm and passion for the history of this fascinating melting pot of cultures and religions was truly addictive. I learned more during those 2 hours than I did from all the reading I tried to cram in before flying to Israel! I thoroughly recommend both the guided tour experience, and the wonderful Shahar, who is fun, entertaining and informative!
