Itamar was an amazing guide, the trip from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem passed in minutes since he had prepared a great lesson about the history of Israel (even with sides to see the different map evolutions). This was key to get context for the entire day, as we were often able to understand details from the earlier provided context. 10/10 would recommend.

The day was perfectly organized and we were even send a taxi to pick us up without any surcharge, as our AirBnB was too far off the pick up route. Our tour guide Itamar has done a great job, as he was explaining in brilliant English and in a pleasant way. He had a lot to tell about the Isreali History on our way to Jerusalem and he found a good balance between explaining and just letting the people enjoy the scenery. The tour included for all the important places in Jerusalem and was done in a demanding tempo, which we really enjoyed. A nice restaurant on a roof top with great view and delicious falafel was where we spend our lunch break. The falafel was a bit costly but in the very centre of tourism thats not much of a surprise. We would recommend this tour to everyone. The tour is designed for around 20 people, so it does not get too crowded and you get the chance to hear everything your guide says.

This tour ticks pretty much every box for me. The length is a reasonable time and starting a bit later than other tours. The 9 am pick up means that you don’t get caught up in the morning rush hour traffic so much, so the effective start time of the tour in Jerusalem is similar to some of those that leave earlier.
The smaller group size is ideal.
I liked that they didn’t plan in endless time for souvenir shopping. Whoever wanted to do that was free to use the lunch break for that. Speaking of which, lunch wasn’t spectacular but good value for money and quick, which is not often the case on guided tours.
Itamar was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable. I think we saw about every important place in the old city.

I highly recommend this tour. I just finished an incredible day with our small group. Our tour guide Itamar was amazing and very knowledgeable. The tour moved at a good pace but enough time was spent at each place. Jerusalem old city is breathtaking and this tour does a great job of making sure you see all the key sites. Itamar took great care of us and the place we stopped for lunch was really good.

Great mix of history, archaeology, religion and politics. Our guide Itamar, blended his considerable knowledge of the Old City as the sum of many parts: cultures and traditions living cheek by jowl in this incredible setting. Unlike other tours, we first looked across the valley towards Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives and walked down visiting churches and sites on the way. We then ascended to the Dome of the Rock, saw the Tomb of King David, room of the Last Supper, Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Western Wall taking a peak at less visited nooks and crannies. If you want to do justice to Jerusalem rather than skim the superficial tourist surface, this tour is for you. A very friendly education and guaranteed enlightenment whatever your religion or none!
