When we booked our tour with Zel, I expected to learn bits and pieces about the Old City, but Zel gave us a comprehensive and detailed and professorial explanation of almost everything we looked and pointed at - from a specific gate, to the churches, to the walls, to the roads, to the altars in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and even to detailed explanations on how the six religions cooperate to administer the Church. As to the tour itself, Zel kept a brisk pace (we are walkers), but slowed down to offer many interesting tid-bits. And needless to say, Zel is a most cheerful guide and it seemed like every guide in the Old City greeted him by name and with a warm handshake. Great vibes all around ... highly recommended.
The guide was Zel who did an outstanding job in presenting and explanation the daily living what we wanted in Jerusalem. He took us to the only side from which to view old Jerusalem that we had not yet seen. There were some experiences that we did not plan on but these were great. We did go to...
The guide was Zel who did an outstanding job in presenting and explanation the daily living what we wanted in Jerusalem. He took us to the only side from which to view old Jerusalem that we had not yet seen. There were some experiences that we did not plan on but these were great. We did go to the Botanical Gardens which I would highly recommend.
The guide's knowledge of the city, customs, courtesies, struggles, successes, history, etc. is excellent. Would highly recommend him!

My wife and I actually took two of these half day tours, one with Meir and one with Yair. They were well worth the money. These men are both experienced professionals who know their way around. They were nice, polite and helpful. They came to our hotel and took us to some of the most fascinating places in Jerusalem, which is a fascinating city.
We had an excellent tour of the old city. Meir Todros, our guide, was very knowledgeable, informative and thought provoking. He was very flexible with his time and customized our tour as it relates to our background. You really can't go wrong with Meir.

This city is breathtaking and the history that lives in every step and stone is profound: I think Etai, our guide for the day embodied all of that. He has a wealth of knowledge, a shining smile, and a passion for bringing thousands of years of stories back to life. But he wasn’t stuffy or anything, in fact he was like completely opposite of that; he was super fun, excited to share interesting and relatable stories, willing to cater to our interests, AND maintain integrity and respect for all the different cultures and religions within the city. I would not have appreciated the significance and beauty of the city nearly as much, if we hadn’t had Etai to guide us. We wondered at first if it was worth the money, and I’m delighted to say that it was beyond worth it! It’s a once in a lifetime kind of place and doing a small private tour is one hundred and fifty percent the way to go— you will miss out on some spectacular stories and sites if you don’t. Also, I don’t know if you can request your guides (we just rolled the dice and ended up with probably the best of the best) and if you can, Etai is who you want!! Can’t recommend him enough!!
