Embark on this private half-day city tour of Jerusalem with a professional guide.

Your guide will bring you to hidden corners,  the best viewpoints for taking pictures, an African rooftop village and many more surprises. The Holy City of Jerusalem is unique. It is by far the most fascinating city in the world and the most important religious and historical sites are located in just a tiny walled area called the Old City. This tour has a maximum of 6 travelers. 

If you don't choose a private tour, we highly recommend that you book a group tour to visit with a guide, it is a missed opportunity to visit Jerusalem without a guide, the density of sites, religion and history on 1 square kilometer is huge.
