Exciting day in Jerusalem Old City

Our guide was Yoav Malachi. He was really funny and had so much information about the city, history, culture, religion. From the beginning of the day he talked us a lot and took care of ourselves even if we lost in the labirynth of Jerusalem. :) Thank you for the full-day experience :) Yoav, you are fantastic ! :)

Beit Harim - Jerusalem Old City & New

"Jerusalem Old City & New" Excellent tour with Yitamar of Beit Harim Tour Svc. He had a good working knowledge of the city, the pre-tour orientation was informative, the sections of the city from the Temple Mountain of the stations were dotted with places to take unique photos. We really enjoyed it.

An unforgettable day with small children in the Old City of Jerusalem

Everything was very well organized. The pick up at the appointed hotel in Tel Aviv was on time and our guide, Itamar, was fantastic. We traveled with small children and he was super helpful when they needed to take brakes or use the bathroom. He is also really knowledgeable and friendly and answered every question we had. The tour itself was great. Very well organized with lots of great things to see and even some agreed time to explore some monuments by ourselves after his good explanations. He even had a recommendation for us to eat at a genuinely nice place and price at the Jaffa port in Tel Aviv and dropped us off 2 minutes away from it when we returned from Jerusalem. Definitely worth the late departure. Jerusalem did not feel as crowded and the walk around the city was broken into sections in order no to get too tired, even for our small children.

Good experience

All and all great way to spend the day, one day is not enough for Jerusalem. Tour is well organised and you are able to see in a short time, a big part of the city Feedback: Consider that not all hotels have pick up so you may need to take a taxi or walk at 6:00 in the morning and get to the closest pick up point.
