    Terrible Service. IT'S A SCAM

    Pésima empresa. Cuando contraté el servicio esperaba grandes momentos conociendo a Jerusalén con la ayuda de esta compañía, pero nunca se presentaron en el punto de reunión acordado y nadie responde mis llamadas ni mis mensajes por WhatsApp para devolverme mi dinero. NO RECOMIENDO ESTA EMPRESA, ES UNA ESTAFA. -------- Terrible company. When I booked their service, I was expecting a wonderful time exploring Jerusalem with their help, but they never showed up at the agreed meeting point, and no one is answering my calls or WhatsApp messages to refund my money. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY; IT'S A SCAM.

    Response from the operator: Dear Julian, we are truly sorry to read about your experience. A missed pickup and a lack of response afterwards is not the service we aim to provide, and we take full responsibility for this. Please send us your booking reference through Viator so we can look into what happened right away and resolve your refund. / Estimado Julián, lamentamos mucho lo ocurrido. Que no lo recogieran en el punto de encuentro y que no recibiera respuesta no es el servicio que queremos ofrecer, y asumimos toda la responsabilidad. Por favor, envíenos su número de reserva a través de Viator para revisar su caso de inmediato y resolver su reembolso. Bein Harim Tours

    Great last minute adventure

    I booked this trip the night before. I wasn't sure it would work out due to the last minute nature, but it was a fantastic experience. They contacted me late at night to confirm the pickup location. Safe, enjoyable, adventurous, and informative. We started at the mount of olives, walked the stations of the cross, and toured the old city of Jerusalem. I wholly recommend. Pickup was only from the hotel Dan, so you need to be within walking distance. Bring cash since many places, including our lunch stop, don't take cards. Be prepared to walk most of the day.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad the last-minute booking worked smoothly and that you enjoyed the tour through the Mount of Olives, the Stations of the Cross, and Jerusalem’s Old City. Our team always does its best to coordinate late confirmations when needed. We appreciate your helpful tips for future travelers and your kind recommendation.

    Avoid at all cost!

    This tour was operated by Bein Harim Israel Tours. We started from Tel Aviv and they were supposed to pick us up from the hotel. 24 hours before the tour (so you cannot cancel) they sent us an email indicating a different pickup location. So, we had to manage to get to the pickup location. The pickup time was 6:30am on a bus with other 60 people. From there, they take you to another location where you have to hop on another bus. Then you arrive to Jerusalem, and you have to hop on another bus. This means that on logistics you will waste 3 hours to get to Jerusalem and 3 hours to come back because the return is exactly the same nightmare but backwards. So, a total of 6 wasted hours. You end spending in the tour about 3 hours with ZERO time to look on the bazars or local shops. As a Catholic person, this tour meant a lot to me, but it was poorly delivered by our guide. In my opinoin, this tour should be given by a Christian person who can relate the story and the faith. Having a non-Christian person made the whole experience unpleasant.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during the tour. When organizing group tours, it is essential to consider the logistics involved in coordinating a large number of participants and ensuring everyone's safety and satisfaction. Please note that due to traffic congestion on urban roads and highways in the morning, the pickup/drop-off service is limited to a few hotels only. Regarding the limited time for exploring bazaars or local shops, we strive to balance the tour itinerary to include essential sites while providing sufficient time for exploration. However, due to the nature of group tours and the need to adhere to schedules and ensure a smooth flow of activities, time constraints may arise.

    In the footsteps of Jesus

    This was a wonderful tour and our guide, Tomer, brought this rich history to life. He was passionate, knowledgeable and a simply wonderful guide. Having time to absorb the the significance of each site and see Jerusalem through the eyes of a local was amazing. I would highly recommend this tour. It does require a reasonable level of fitness and mobility as there is a fair bit of walking and the ground can be steep and uneven. Thanks for sharing your passion with us Tomer!

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for this sincere and detailed review and most of all we appreciate your expression of gratitude for the excellent tour guide Tomer. He sure deserves your praise for his efforts and enlightening commentary.

    Jerusalem Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Jerusalem Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus cost?

    +

    Prices start at $99 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 Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 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 Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 52 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 Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus?

    +

    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 Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Jerusalem Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus?

    +

    Around 18 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Jerusalem Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus 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.

    What is included in Jerusalem Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Professional guide; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Jerusalem Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Tel Aviv. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Jerusalem Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus offered in?

    +

    +

    What happens to Jerusalem Tour from Tel Aviv: In the Footsteps of Jesus if the weather is bad?
