Private Walking Tour in Jerusalem's Old City

Despre activitate

Hi! I'm Orna, a licensed tour guide who is certified through the Ministry of Tourism in Israel.

I have over 10 years of experience working with a wide range of ages as well as cultural and religious backgrounds.

You will get to know the Old City - the four quarters and the Temple Mount, explore the three monotheistic religions and visit the sites sacred to them.

You will meet local people and learn about their connection to the city, learn about the complex and special story of Jerusalem- past and present, and gain a better understanding of Jerusalem and the people who inhabit the city today.

All entry fees are included.
