Zahi Shaked was an amazing tour guide

Zahi Shaked was our amazing tour guide. He was very educated, kind, high energy, and the perfect tour guide. I will recommend him to all my friends that want any sort of tour. I came out of my tour with a meaningful and eye-opening experience. He took us to extra spots since we had the time and I saw more than I could have ever imagined in one day. He knew endless locals that all told us we had the best tour guide. We all felt lucky to have him. Thank you Zahi.

Perfect. All day was not long enough.

Zahi Shaked was a fantastic guide. I couldn't believe the all day tour was over. I could have spent all night with him also. I can not wait to take another with him. I just wish they had hotel pick up.

Wonderful whirlwind tour of Jerusalem

It's a good amount of walking and stairs. I loved the behind the scenes info I didn't see or find on my own. Warm in the sun be prepared. Jacob moves fast so be quick with your camera.

Great Tour of the Old City and Bethlehem

We met our driver/guide at the King David Citadel Hotel, which was across the street from ours. The driver/guide was very communicative so we knew where and when to meet. He had a group of ten, which was a great size for the tour. He led us through the Old City and explained much of its history. He was careful to explain the timeline with varying perspectives. He then had lunch arranged for us in the Jewish Quarter. Following that he drove us to a checkpoint and arranged for a guide from the Palestinian side to take us to Bethlehem. We felt safe and had a tour of the Church of the Nativity and stop at a local shop for coffee and shopping. We rejoined our original driver/guide he took us back to our hotel. Great and informative day.
