    Amazing time at the Old City of Jerusalem

    My fiance and I booked a private tour of The City of David and Jerusalem Old City from Tel Aviv. We were picked up promptly at the designated pick up location with a group tour for transport to The City of David where we linked up with our private tour guide Daniel. We sat down with Daniel for a few minutes and we discussed the plan for the day to make sure everyone was on the same sheet of music, as we had several sites we wanted to see. When booking our tour we requested an English speaking tour guide as neither my fiance or I speak Hebrew. Daniel speaks very good English and at no point dod we ever have any issues trying to understand him or vice versa. Our tour started with the City of David and the tunnel system under the city. We spent a couple hours touring the archeological sites and then into the tunnels which eventually put us at the base of the Western wall. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Daniel is a wealth of knowledge. The tunnels were great but I would not recommend if tight spaces are not your thing. We continued our tour up and into the Jerusalem Old City where our 1st stop was the Western wall. From there we entered the city and took a break for some lunch and to rest for a bit. We continued our tour after eating visiting some of the shops and then on to see some of the more historical sites of the old city. Once again Daniel did not disappoint with his knowledge of all the sites. We concluded our day in Jerusalem at one of the larger outdoor markets where we were able to buy some fresh fruits and try some of the local cuisine. It was a long day, we walked close to 12 miles but we wanted to see a lot. For being major tourist sites the crowds were almost non existent. We were told that was because of the current conflict. At no time did we feel like we were at risk and would absolutely have zero reservations about going back. If you ever thought about going to the Old City of Jerusalem, do it, you won't be disappointed. If you don't like huge crowds now is the time to go! Ask for Daniel, he will not disappoint.

    Response from the operator: Greatly appreciate ;your efforts in sharing such a detailed review of satisfaction of the private tour service we provided. NO doubt that private tour provides the time frame and itinerary for the traveler to see a vast amount of locations.Indeed you travelled when things were very quiet((as a result of the times). Daniel is most worthy of all your praise for his capabilty, interesting commentary and pleasant manner

    History lessons included

    Tomir is a wonderful guide, super friendly and with a lot of passion! We got some super interesting insights into the history of Israel as well as Jerusalem. Even though it was a lot of information, Tomir managed to structure everything very well so it was easy to follow. I would definitely book this tour again and highly recommend it!

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for this sincere 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.

    Private Tour : Jerusalem Old City Day Trip from Tel Aviv: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Tour : Jerusalem Old City Day Trip from Tel Aviv cost?

    +

    Prices start at $500 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 Private Tour : Jerusalem Old City Day Trip 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 Private Tour : Jerusalem Old City Day Trip from Tel Aviv worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 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 Private Tour : Jerusalem Old City Day Trip 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 Private Tour : Jerusalem Old City Day Trip 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 Private Tour : Jerusalem Old City Day Trip from Tel Aviv?

    +

    Around 7 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 Private Tour : Jerusalem Old City Day Trip 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.
