On this Jerusalem day tour explore the best that the city has to offer. No trip to Israel could be complete without a tour of Jerusalem, one of the oldest cities in the world. There is no better way to understand this unique place than with one of our experienced local guides, on our tour with pickup from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
In its thousands of years of history, Jerusalem, a place of major importance to three main religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam, has seen countless conquests and destruction, triumphs and disasters. An experienced guide will give you a taste of some of the most important places. Discover sites such as ‘The Western Wall’, the holiest site in Judaism; The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Jesus was crucified and The Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam. These places are located in the ‘Old City’, an extraordinary walled city, filled with unique buildings, narrow passageways, bustling markets and a mix of cultures and languages.
Outside the walls of the Old City lies modern-day Jerusalem, a vibrant and dynamic place filled with bustling restaurants, cafés and cultural life. Your Jerusalem day tour will give you an overall impression of this side of the city and also includes a visit to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial museum.
