Great way to experience Jerusalem’s Old City and the City of David
Great tour of the Old City in Jerusalem as well as the City of David underground water system and the pilgrims’ path to the Temple Mount. Led by an experienced guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We believe some of the most powerful experiences in Israel come from walking through the places where history unfolded. From the streets of the Old City to the ancient tunnels of the City of David and the Pilgrims' Path, this tour is designed to connect travellers with Jerusalem's story in a meaningful way. We're so pleased your guide helped bring that experience to life.

Unexpectedly brilliant
This walking tour was unexpectedly brilliant. The guide Alicia was deeply knowledgeable and passionate about Jerusalem and its history and people. She knew the best places to visit and many unique locations that we would not otherwise have seen. She answered with patience all our questions and we learned a lot . Many thanks Alicia!
Response from the operator: We’re really glad you enjoyed this experience! Showing travelers places they wouldn’t discover on their own is exactly what Tourist Israel tours are designed to do, and Alicia’s passion clearly came through.

Jerusalem day tour
Modi our guide very knowledgeable and accommodating. Would use him again. Only concern is that would have liked more Judaica emphasis on day tour of Jerusalem Booking was easy
Response from the operator: Thank you! We're so glad to hear you had a great experience with Modi-he's definitely known for his knowledge and warm approach. We also appreciate your note about wanting more emphasis on Judaica during the Jerusalem day tour. Your input helps us continue to improve and tailor our tours to better meet our travelers' interests. We're happy the booking process was smooth and would love to welcome you back again soon!

Terrible communication
The operator canceled the trip without any notice—no email, no phone call, no text. I only found out as I was about to leave for the meeting point. This level of communication is completely irresponsible and unacceptable.

Best of Jerusalem Full-Day Tour from Jerusalem: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.
How much does Best of Jerusalem Full-Day Tour from Jerusalem cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jerusalem usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Best of Jerusalem Full-Day Tour from Jerusalem take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jerusalem is not rushed.
Is Best of Jerusalem Full-Day Tour from Jerusalem worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jerusalem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Jerusalem Full-Day Tour from Jerusalem?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Best of Jerusalem Full-Day Tour from Jerusalem suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Best of Jerusalem Full-Day Tour from Jerusalem?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jerusalem can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jerusalem and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best of Jerusalem Full-Day Tour from Jerusalem start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jerusalem within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jerusalem?
+
On Outty we rank every Jerusalem experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jerusalem Boutique Tour from Tel Aviv, Travel to Bethlehem Half Day Guided Tour from Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Dead Sea Day Tour From Jerusalem. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jerusalem?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jerusalem?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
