Unforgettable Jerusalem Tour - Exploring the historic sites of Jerusalem was an unforgettable experience, and having Itamar as our guide made it even better. His knowledge, patience, and kindness made the tour truly enjoyable. He took the time to explain everything in detail and ensured we had a great experience. Walking through such significant places with a guide like Itamar was a real pleasure. If I ever return to Israel, I would definitely choose Bein Harim Tourism again. Highly recommended!

Jerusalem with Itamar! - The tour I took today with Itamar was excellent! Itamar was very knowledgeable about every aspect of our tour and was ready and able to give insight and information! He also knew intuitively what we wanted and gave it all to us in a fun and friendly way! I felt genuine respect for him and had an amazing day in Jerusalem with a really good group of people! I highly recommend Bein Hardin and Itamar!

Bein Harim Tourism Services - Big thanks to our Tour guide Dan Porges and our driver, Muhammad. Dan is a seasoned Professional who is extremely knowledgeable. His easy going manner and rapport is highly commendable. If and when he decides to hang up his Tour Guide sneakers, Bein Harim Tourism Services should keep him on to Mentor the younger generation coming through the ranks. Thank you @Dan ... from Gershon

A good walking tour of the Old City - A good walking tour of the Old City. You won’t see much of “New Jerusalem”. Covers most of the important ancient sites. It doesn’t include the Temple Mount tho

Great tour - Had to wait a bit for pick up and our tour guide could be more knowledgeable. Other than that, this was a great tour of Jerusalem. Saw the Garden of Gethsemane and went inside the church - very sombre. Went to the Western Wall and prayed at the Wailing Wall. We explored some of the Stations of the Cross. Our tour was on a Friday so this meant that the Holocaust museum was closed so we went to visit Mount. Zion (King David's tomb and hall of the last supper) instead. Lastly, I met many lovely people on this tour.

Very disappointing - After 1.5 years of traveling the world and a lot of tours, I have to say that this was by far the worst. We booked the tour in German and Jakob was our guide.
At the beginning of the day, our bus was relatively punctual and the pick-up went smoothly. From the last pick-up point, we were then driven to a restaurant where the groups were then distributed to their correct buses. At around 8:45 a.m., there was an initial briefing on the tour and the city and at 9:15 a.m. the tour started.
You drive towards the old city and skip the Mount of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane, which are listed as the first point in the official description of the tour. So you just have to be content with the view as you drive past.
During the tour through the city, we were given vague statements here and there about places and things in the city. Questions were often answered with counter-questions or "funny" comments and thus rarely led to a satisfactory result. In general, we had the feeling that our guide was not at all interested in answering our questions or in knowing whether he had answered them clearly. Often, everyone in the group just looked at each other in confusion. Once, a waitress nearby overheard a question and kindly answered it in a way that we could understand, as our guide was unable to do so. We were dropped off at several locations for certain periods of time and, with luck, we found out what to expect at that location. Shortly before noon, we went to a souvenir shop that tried to woo us with a 50% discount because we were a tour member. This was just a scam, the shop was outrageously overpriced. In the shop opposite, we found the same souvenirs for more than half the price, and that was before any discount was added. For lunch, we went to the Panoramic Restaurant. The view and the prices there are actually OK. From there, the group split up and other people joined our group. The whole thing ended in a huge organizational hustle and bustle. The new people in our group only spoke English and from there on our guide started a wild "real-time translation".
The focus seemed to be on English, which is actually his strength. Not a problem for us but I think it would be unacceptable for some people who specifically book a German tour. In any case, we didn't go home any wiser than before and the rest of the group felt the same in many respects.
Absolutely not recommended and really sad.
