    Great tour during tough times

    Hired Israel with Fun for a private tour of the Old Jerusalem and was very pleased. Communication while booking was excellent using Whatsapp. Guide met us at our hotel and then we walked the entire route which was perfect. Unfortunately the conflict has affected tourism and it was obvious in sites being randomly unstaffed but we got to see everything we wanted to. It was nice to have some of the usually busy sites to ourselves but we felt for the locals that are struggling to feed their families.

    unforgettable cruse excursion by a private tour

    We had a beyond wonderful time in the Holy Land with Daniel's handpicked expert guide, Zahi. I chose this private tour for two reasons. Jerusalem is very special, so it deserves a customized deep tour first, and the second reason is that my 78-year-old mom can't understand English; a Chinese guide is needed. I am so thankful that Daniel handpicked expert Zahi as our small group guild. He brought us to watch a 3D movie (Chinese language optional), walk through the underground tunnel belonging to the excavation site, let us read the Gospel of John to understand the scene of the Last Supper, climb to the secret rooftop to look out over the Western Wall, and walk along 15 stations of the Via Dolores, the holiest road in the world, the whole pass where Jesus was led to death. a very special 12-hour trip, including 5 hours of driving between Haifa and Jerusalem, but full of Jerusalem's historical significance, spiritual symbolism, and visual splendor. These secrets only a private tour can reveal. I really appreciate Zahi's hard work and professionalism.

    Great Tour, Great Guide, Memorable

    Great walking tour of Jerusalem! We had a last minute tour guide change but we were kept in the loop every step of the way. Our guide met us at the hotel and we taxied to the Mount of Olives to begin the walking tour. We feel that our guide Gallo covered both the religious and historical sites with great knowledge and passion. He gave us the right amount of time on our own and made sure we kept on schedule so as not to miss any of our stops. And after 5.5 miles of walking, we felt invigorated and satisfied. We would highly recommend this tour - definitely a good value for the money - and 'Israel with Fun - Daniel Sigalov'.

    Holy Jerusalem Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.

    How much does Holy Jerusalem Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,095 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 Holy Jerusalem Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Holy Jerusalem Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 Holy Jerusalem Private Tour?

    +

    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 Holy Jerusalem Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Holy Jerusalem Private Tour?

    +

    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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Holy Jerusalem Private Tour 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.

    What is included in Holy Jerusalem Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; On-board WiFi; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Holy Jerusalem Private Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 615 listed pickup locations in and around Jerusalem. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Holy Jerusalem Private Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Arabic, German, Russian, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, English, Italian, French, Hebrew and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Holy Jerusalem Private Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Holy Jerusalem Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Holy Jerusalem Private Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Jerusalem. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Holy Jerusalem Private Tour?

    +

    Across 24 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, value for money. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.

    What booking options are available for Holy Jerusalem Private Tour?
