Valuble tour which give you much needed historical context to all the main sites in the old city - Great Tour, Our Guid Norbert was very knowleadgeble. I would highly reccomend this tour as the old city of Jerusalem is full of so much history it is good to have a guide with you who can point out what it is exactly that yu are looking at. There is just so much culture and histroy so it is great to get all the context behind alot of the sites that you go to visit. Then after you have visited these sites with a guide you can always go back and revisit your faviorite sites if you have time in your trip as we did. But I cannot understate the value of a good guide espicially if only have limited time in Jerusalem.

Excellent Day! Excellent Guide - We had Yoav as our guide and he was absolutely fabulous, he knew the history so well and made sure along the way we were all keeping up and understanding. He made our experience so special! The tour is a big day with lots of walking - so make sure you have comfy shoes, but you truely get to emerge yourself in the history and beauty of the old city! Would definitely recommend. And it’s your lucky day if you get Yoav to show you around!

Great full day old city walking tour - I booked this tour through the link on trip advisor. I booked it late on a Friday evening, and promptly received a text confirmation along with a meeting point very close to my hotel. There are several different hotel pick up points around the city, and all of them are funneled to a main meeting point where the various tours depart from.
Our full day walking tour was led by Sivan, who was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. Very thoughtful and even handed in her description of life in Israel. Very knowledgeable about the old quarter. Would absolutely give her a strong recommendation as a tour guide.
Also, the price point of this tour cannot be beat.

Truly unbiased and very informative tour - If you have Tomer as your tour guide, you will not be disappointed! He was absolutely amazing and truly takes you all over Old Jerusalem. He has a wealth of knowledge and information and when he shares the stories and information with the group it is all entirely unbiased. There was one comment that he repeatedly said that resonated with us which is that it doesn't matter if this exact object or location is holy, but instead it's the connection that you yourself with your own faith make during this journey that matters the most.

Good tour - The tour was interesting as far as the narration and sites that we visited. It is worth noting that the sites are extremely busy with crowds of people.

Excellent tour and guide - This tour was excellent. It was recommended by an acquaintance that does private tours but was away when I was visiting. I only had a few days in Jerusalem, had a lot of things that I wanted to see; and this tour covered them all. Our guide, Liat, was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Also, I wasn’t sure what to expect since I was touring on a Saturday (Shabbat), but we really still had access to everything. It was excellent. Thank you.

Israel is beautiful - The tour guide left me and my sister and called after and said to meet at the bus 30-40mins later! We were rushed in the church.
