So-so
This tour was ok. Our guide was prompt and responsible. He also answered all our questions. But unfortunately I can't say that he demonstrated much enthusiasm as a guide.

A Perfect Day in the Old City!
Our guide could not have been better! She was so knowledgeable and attentive and made our experience perfect! I have been to Israel before, but she showed us things that were new to me and so interesting. Her English was perfect and she clearly knows her history!!! We feel so blessed that we had this amazing experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the review. We are feeling blessed to have you as our costumer. Hopefully next time when you visit Israel you can join on of our other tours. FriendlyLocalGuide team

Great guided tour of the Old City
Tour guide Sasha is excellent, extremely knowledgeable, personable and very engaging. Her expertise in history, culture and religion were very much appreciated during my 3.5 hour guided walking tour of the old city during a quick business trip to Tel Aviv. It is very obvious she loves her job and takes it seriously; she also provided excellent travel advice and even directed me to a tasty local falafel shop! Highly recommend without reservation for all your personal guide needs in Israel
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for this amazing review. We are happy that you enjoyed the tour with our tour guide! FriendlyLocalGuide team

Private Guided Tour in old city Jerusalem: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.
How much does Private Guided Tour in old city Jerusalem cost?
+
Prices start at $229 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 Guided Tour in old city Jerusalem take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Guided Tour in old city Jerusalem worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 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 Guided Tour in old city 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 Guided Tour in old city Jerusalem suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Guided Tour in old city 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Guided Tour in old city 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, 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.

+
