Full description
Your full-day Business-Class Tour begins when we pick you up at your hotel in Tel Aviv for the drive to the Mount of Olives. From the Mount of Olives you’ll have spectacular views of the city of Jerusalem. You will then stop at Mount Zion to visit King David's tomb, the room of the last supper and the Dormition Abbey. Once we’ve arrived, we’ll first enter the Old City. Your guide will take you on a walk through the Armenian and Jewish quarters to the Cardo, the recently reconstructed main street of Byzantine Jerusalem dating from the 6th century. This was also known as the Roman Road. You’ll see the Wailing Wall or Kotel, part of the ancient wall that once surrounded the Jewish Temple, and then continue on to the Christian Quarter. We’ll walk along the Via Dolorosa and visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Our next stop is the New City. Your guide will take you to visit Yad Vashem, the memorial to the Holocaust. On Saturdays and Jewish holidays, instead of Yad Vashem, drive to Ein Karem, southwest of Jerusalem, traditionally known as birthplace of John the Baptist; Stroll in the narrow lanes of the picturesque neighborhood, stopping by Mary's spring and continue to visit the remarkable Church of Saint John the Baptist. Personalized attention sets this tour apart from the rest on your small-group Business-Class Tour. On April 9, 15, 20, 29; May 29; September 19, 20, and 27, 2020, the visit to Yad Vashem will be replaced by a visit to Ein Karem.

Amazing tour. Loved every second of it. It's a full on day and pretty exhausting, so be prepared. There is so much to pack in and see but some may struggle to keep up. By the time lunch came around everyone was more than ready for a break. The lunch so was superb. Great local food and more than could be eaten. All in all a day to remember.

They overbooked by one person so the last couple getting on were arranged a taxi to take them to Jerusalem, but we didn't see them for the rest of the trip. The bus was a little old with one broken seat and started leaking from the roof window when it rained. However they replaced the bus for our trip home which was a very good effort to remedy the situation. Our guide was patient and informative, and made changes to the order of items on the agenda to accommodate the weather.

If you just have one day to explore Jerusalem, I would recommend this tour. Modern high quality minivan, good guide, we hit all the 4 quarters of Jerusalem incl. the Western Wall & the Church of the Holy Sepulchure and the visit to Yad Vashem was unforgettable (getting the audio guide is highly recommended).
