Jerusalem Tour Option

Very informed guide and it was well organized with good quality for the cost. Pickup and drop off was easy. 3 of my other Nazareth, Jericho and Bethlehem tours were canceled so buyer beware if the group has less than 4 people as the tour will be canceled. They refund your money quickly within the week for me, which I greatly appreciated. Good luck

Didn't like the guide

Not a competent, rude guide, knows very little and therefore did not tell what was needed and are not happy with the excursion, we will avoid contact with this agency in the future

I recommend

Everything went well, they arrived to pick us up at the scheduled time. The guide Erez did a good job and so did the driver. The only criticism was the lunch restaurant. It was very hot, bad food and expensive for what was served.

Excellent, lots of cultural learning and coordination

Our guide Martin explained very well all the places of the ancient city, showed us the most significant places, the time and coordination was excellent and the whole tour was in Spanish as agreed.

Amazing tour with Zahi Shaked!

First and foremost, Zahi Shaked is an outstanding tour guide who truly embodies a passion for the history and culture of Jerusalem. From the moment the tour began, it was clear that he had a deep knowledge and appreciation for the city's rich and complex history. His storytelling abilities are unmatched, as he seamlessly wove together anecdotes and historical facts to bring the city's past to life. He was patient and attentive to our group's needs, answering all of our questions with care and consideration. His enthusiasm for the subject matter was infectious, and his genuine warmth and kindness made us feel welcome and valued. The tour itself was well-organized and well-paced, taking us to all the key sites while allowing plenty of time for exploration and reflection. His insights and commentary enriched our experience immeasurably, helping us to understand the significance and context of the places we visited. Finally, I must commend his attentiveness and care for the group's well-being, as he found us when we got lost. Overall, I cannot recommend Zahi Shaked and Bein Harim tours highly enough. If you are looking for an exceptional tour of Jerusalem's Old City, look no further than this wonderful guide and tour company.
