Great tour guide who did an excellent job! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour! And I’d recommend to anyone who can walk and stand for 8 hours!
Great site to visit

The City of David is a spectacular site and everyone who visits Jerusalem should see it. The tour didn’t add much beyond the posted information. The tour is quite physically demanding and some of our tour-mates weren’t up for it and caused us to skip parts. The pickup was also chaotic and long. It took 2 hours to get to the site through multiple transfers, when we could have walked from our hotel, across the old city, to it in 45 minutes. There were other tours that seemed more engaging than ours, although everyone was very nice.

It is a very interesting tour, even when the weather is terrible. Tour guide was very accommodating. The pick up point is not well thought through. We went away from starting point about 30 min by bus before we changed the nus and went back to the Tower of David. It should be an option to meet by the tower of David
Amazing

Walking thru and learning about the history of the tunnels, experiencing the western wall and old city. I only wish we had known that the tour ended at 3pm and that we wouldn’t be taken back to the place of pick up
