About this activity

This tour is ranked the number 1 Experience in Israel.

Our motto: don't be perfect, be honest.

No souvenir shop if you don't want to.

We leave about two hours later then the big tour operators, so you have time for breakfast.

Come an experience an Amazing full day Boutique tour with a small group, a motivated and officially licensed guide, from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Walk down the Mount of Olives and through the quarters of The Old City of Jerusalem. You will visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, The Western Wall and the Temple Mount/Golden Dome of The Rock, no other day tour from Tel Aviv visits the Temple Mount (not possible on Fridays, Saturdays and religious holydays).

This is NOT a pilgrimage tour, we do visit the holy sites, but do not stand in line to enter the Tomb of Jesus or Golgotha. Your amazing guide will guide you from an historic perspective, not from one of the holy books.

If you want to visit a souvenir shop or the tomb of Jesus, you can do so during lunch.
