Trip old Jerusalem
Very interesting tour. Visiting the best spots in old Jerusalem. The guide, Yoav, who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly with a great sense of humor made this a great experience for all participants.
Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing that you had a great informative and memorable tour experience with Yoav. Always good to receive such feedback.

A pleasant and educating tour.
A well organized trip, the guide (Frank) is knowledgeable and friendly. Did his best to fulfill the programme by communicating with the driver and other guides on what turned out to be a very busy day with respect to the crowds. The only thing I’d say is we could have a bit more time at the Holy Sepulchre, as the queues were really long, but I guess it wasn’t easy to predict. Overall, a really nice and educating tour.
Response from the operator: Much appreciate your sincere review of your tour with Bein Harim. Frank deserves your feedback for his efforts and professional tour management.

Good introduction to the old city.
We enjoyed the trip and our guide was very engaging and knowledgeable. On the downside, we had been on the bus an hour and we’re still sitting in a car park in Tel Aviv waiting for other buses to meet up with us to all shift around customers. It seems there should be a more time efficient way to do this. Then we had the misfortune to be in Jerusalem on the day of the marathon. Much traffic and more waiting at another pick up spot for people running late. However our driver was knowledgeable of the city and did his best in a difficult time. We saw all the sites that were listed. However very little time was spent at each site. Much time was spent outside of each location describing what we were to see which after the delays of the morning was frustrating. Since this is a once in a lifetime trip, we were prepared and knew what each stop was. To have such limited time to see these amazing places after standing and listening to a 10 minute description was disheartening. Also, spending 30 minutes in the “approved” gift shop was not enjoyable. I wish we had been told how long we were to be there because I would have walked around the area and looked in the stalls more. As it was, we didn’t know when we were leaving there so we couldn’t wonder too far. I think it was the place we spent the most time other than lunch. Lunch was good. You don’t order from a menu but cold sandwiches were already prepared which was perfect I think. It was very quick and efficient which I appreciated. The location and view were nice. The drive home was much more efficient. Customers had been sorted by their drop off locations prior to leaving so it was a quick drive back to to Tel Aviv. Also- for those worried, there were frequent toilet stops. Our guide joked that part of his job for the day was to guide us from one loo to the next and he delivered. 😊 All in all, I do recommend this day trip. It’s a good introduction to the old city. I think it’s mostly accessible to everyone who can walk a moderate amount. There was nothing strenuous and the pace was easy. What I do recommend is after you take this trip, plan another day in Jerusalem on your own to more deeply explore the places that there wasn’t enough time for.
Response from the operator: Appreciate you taking the time to provide a most detailed report and review of your tour. You have mentioned most of what needs to be known for travelers. Guides do arrange tour schedules to cater for all kinds of travelers. Roughly said ours is a broad scale intro to the city. one should certainly return to explore if time permits.

Would I do this one again? No half good half waste of time.(no market time- only a store someone got percent from)
44 people in group, 90% time could not hear guide sue to number of people in between. Stories 30% of the time didn’t relate to Israel at all . Learned more about China than Jerusalem. Most stops felt “commercial “ more than holy (and visit was on Sabbath) Often stories trailed off into nowhere. Wine drinkers in southern Europe, beer drinkers in north because…. The Easter Europeans were orthodox and western pagan gentiles with days of week named after them. I’m sure this tied somehow to the holy land we were visiting but not only were the facts incoherently put together I have no idea how these related to the places we visited Seemed adhoc
Response from the operator: Most regretful to read that this was the nature of your experience traveling with one of our guides. Unfortunately you have not mentioned the date of your travel so we can follow up and hold our guide accountable for what you mention here. This certainly does not sound like the level or content of commentary that needs to be provided. by any of our guides..

Jerusalem Highlights Tour from Tel Aviv: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tel Aviv.
How much does Jerusalem Highlights Tour from Tel Aviv cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tel Aviv usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Jerusalem Highlights Tour from Tel Aviv 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 Tel Aviv is not rushed.
Is Jerusalem Highlights Tour from Tel Aviv worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 87 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tel Aviv, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Jerusalem Highlights Tour from Tel Aviv?
+
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 Jerusalem Highlights Tour from Tel Aviv 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 Jerusalem Highlights Tour from Tel Aviv?
+
Around 30 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 Tel Aviv 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 Tel Aviv and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jerusalem Highlights Tour from Tel Aviv 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 Tel Aviv 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 Tel Aviv?
+
On Outty we rank every Tel Aviv experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Carmel Market Tasting Tour - LocaLocal, Guided Pub Crawl Night Tour at Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv Street Art & Graffiti Tour. 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 Tel Aviv?
+
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 Tel Aviv?
+
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.
