    Wonderful, passionate guide

    I went on this tour with my wife and a 4 year old on a pram, and I was particularly impressed with Daniel our guide who articulated the history and stories of the region very well and in a captivating way. He even helped us with the pram at times! The tour has a lot of walking, and I must admit it was challenging at times to push the pram and manage a baby. But overall it was worth it as we learnt so much and was inspired by the history.

    Response from the operator: We are thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic experience on your tour with us. We are delighted that Daniel's passion and knowledge were evident during the tour and that he effectively communicated the history and stories of the region in a captivating manner. It's heartening to know that he went above and beyond by assisting with the pram when needed, ensuring a smoother experience for you and your family. We will pass on your positive feedback to Daniel, as it is well-deserved. Thank you for choosing our tour and for recognizing Daniel's efforts.

    Boring

    The tour was very slow and boring. Didn’t fully show us the whole way of cross stations. Guide took us to a restaurant with bad attitude, and so as the souvenir shop. The souvenir was over price compare to next door….

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent tour experience. We sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations and for any feelings of boredom you encountered during the tour. We understand that everyone's preferences and interests can vary, and while some guests may find certain aspects enjoyable, others may have a different perspective. We apologize if the restaurant and souvenir shop did not meet your expectations.

    Visit to the Holy Sepulcher church along the Via De La Rosa

    Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Garden of Gethsemane were my favorite parts of the trip. We also had a wonderful traditional lunch experience. Daniel was a great tour guide.

    Response from the operator: We're thrilled to hear that the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Garden of Gethsemane were among your favorite parts of the tour. These locations hold great significance and we're glad you enjoyed your time there. We appreciate your kind words about Daniel, your tour guide. We strive to provide knowledgeable and engaging guides who enhance the overall experience for our guests. Thank you for choosing our tour and for taking the time to share your feedback.

    Jerusalem Walking Tour: In the Footsteps of Jesus: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Jerusalem Walking Tour: In the Footsteps of Jesus cost?

    +

    Prices start at $89 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 Jerusalem Walking Tour: In the Footsteps of Jesus 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 Jerusalem Walking Tour: 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 (4.6/5 across 67 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 Jerusalem Walking Tour: 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 Walking Tour: In the Footsteps of Jesus 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 Jerusalem Walking Tour: In the Footsteps of Jesus?

    +

    Around 23 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 Jerusalem Walking Tour: 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 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 Jerusalem Walking Tour: In the Footsteps of Jesus?

    +

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

    Does Jerusalem Walking Tour: In the Footsteps of Jesus include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Jerusalem. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Jerusalem Walking Tour: In the Footsteps of Jesus offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 Jerusalem Walking Tour: In the Footsteps of Jesus?

    +

    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.

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

    +
