Mohammad - possibly the best Old City tour guide - We booked a “tour like a local” through Viator and weren’t sure what to expect. They connected us with our tour guide and we communicated directly that we hoped to have a historical and cultural walking tour of the old city. Lucky for us, our local match ended up being a professionally certified tour guide who also was academically qualified in and personally passionate about these subjects, so we truly hit the jackpot. Mohammad had printed materials with him that helped guide our experience. He is a true pro.
If you have the opportunity to specifically request Mohammad, do it. His knowledge is so vast, his personal experience rich, his soul kind - he made such a big impact on us and because of him, this was a trip highlight and a lifetime memory.

Expert Local, Mohammed Taha, guide to Old City - Fantastic Tour of Old City by Local Expert, Mohammad Taha (fluent English)
Detailed visit to Church of Holy Sepulcher, Cardo, site of Last Supper, Zion Gate, King David's Tomb, etc., customized to our interests. Mohammad knows 1000's of years of history, explaining social, archeological, and comparative religious significance with clarity, kindness, and humor. As a local he has great recs for kebab, knaffeh, etc. Met his friends, fellow locals & personalities too. As they say, Mohammad is good people
