1.Guided Walking Tour of the Old City

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 386 reviews · 4 hours · from $57Our pick

Start at Jaffa Gate and spend four hours walking Jerusalem’s Old City with an English-speaking guide. Visit the Western Wall, Via Dolorosa, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and viewpoints toward Temple Mount. Guides such as Tania, Shahar, Yoni, and Alex are praised for clear storytelling, careful pacing, and thoughtful explanations of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian traditions.

“Amazing tour guide Talia had lots of knowledge she gave the 3 major sites of Jerusalem the perfect amount of time to see the site and learn about its history. We felt very safe in the Muslim quarter and we had some amazing local falafel. Our guide answered questions very well. We stopped at one shop and bought a lovely chess set and Shabbat candles from very friendly vendors (but attempt to haggle down the price a bit to keep some money for the other shops). I really recommend this tour to other English speaking tourists.”
