Amazing Experience - Highly Recommend!
My spouse and I went on a full day walking tour of Old City Jerusalem during our recent trip to Israel and it was, by far, the highlight of our entire trip. Shlomo is an incredibly knowledgable, organized, and accommodating guide. Before the tour even started, he asked us our interests so that he could customize our time together in order to maximize our experience. He has a knack for connecting with visitors of any background and works hard to make sure everyone is having a great experience. He is an A+ guide and would be a perfect choice for anyone looking for a tour guide on their next trip to Israel!

An exceptional tour guide
Very pleasant and knowledgeable guide who managed to show us a lot in a relatively short time span. He provided us with excellent and very interesting historical information and put historical events in a clear context. We highly recommend Shlomo.
via Tripadvisor
Exceptional value and super educational
Shlomo was very precise in his instructions prior to the tour. Great communication. As for the tour itself, he was prompt, knowledgeable and showed us places that we would have never been able to find on our own. He really enjoys what he does and it shows. We also felt way more informed and knowledgeable after the tour. The value for the amount of time spent on this tour was exceptional. Would highly recommend Shlomo to anybody who wants to learn more about Jerusalem.

Incredible historical tour guide
I had an incredible tour with Shlomo through the Old City. He has an incredible grasp of history, the multiple religions that shaped the region, and is an easy going person to walk around with. If/when I come back I will definitely book round 2. He was also super helpful on travel advice for other questions I had for the country, above and beyond in service.
via Tripadvisor
A rich and bespoke tour through Jerusalem
We spent two weeks in Israel and feel like we “saw it all”; our day with Shlomo was genuinely the highlight. Shlomo gets rave reviews because every tour is bespoke (i.e., religion, history, or politics - you decide). He bounces around 1,000s of years of history in a way that’s logical and easy to follow, and reinforces the points with questions to make you think. It was like a college lecture from everyone’s favourite professor. Thank you, Shlomo - we appreciate you!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full-Day Walking Tour of Jerusalem: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.
How much does Private Full-Day Walking Tour of Jerusalem cost?
+
Prices start at $390 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 Private Full-Day Walking Tour of Jerusalem take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Private Full-Day Walking Tour of Jerusalem worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 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 Private Full-Day Walking Tour of 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 Private Full-Day Walking Tour of Jerusalem suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full-Day Walking Tour of Jerusalem?
+
Around 6 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full-Day Walking Tour of 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, Jerusalem: Dual Narrative 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 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.
