Our tour will start on the Mount of Olives. You will have a breathtaking view of the Temple Mount, the Old City and the City of David.
We'll explore the Church of the Ascension that marks the spot where Jesus ascended to heaven and there is a rock with an imprinted footprint thought to be where Jesus stood before his ascension.

After visiting  Mount of Olives we will walk down and visit the important sites.

We will visit the Dominus Flevit Church, which was built to commemorate the site where Jesus wept over the fate of Jerusalem. You will visit the Franciscan church designed by the famous architect Antonio Barluzzi.
Next is without a doubt one of the most impressive sites in Jerusalem and one of the most moving moments in the last days of Jesus, Gethsemane or Church of all Nations. This is the church where Jesus prayed alone to God.

Next up on the tour is the Grotto of Gethsemane. The cave is decorated by Crusader frescoes and graffiti. Afterwards we'll see the Tomb of the Virgin Mary.
This Crusader church was built over a quarried-out tomb that may well date from the 1st century, surrounded with the atmosphere of the Orthodox Churches, hanging lamps and incense.

Than we'll enter Old Jerusalem through the Lion’s Gate and visit the house of the grandparents of Jesus and the Bethesda pools, where Jesus healed the paralytic.

Next we will follow the painful path of Jesus on his way to his crucifixion, the Via Dolorosa.
On it you descend to the Lithostrotos ( Roman Paving ) where Jesus was held by Roman soldiers.

We will have lunch in the Old City (not included in the tour price).

The final station of the Via Dolorosa and the tour is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the site of the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
