The day trip started and ended on time. Everything was well organized! Danny Gerson was our tour guide and he was outstanding. I would gladly book a trip again, knowing he will be in charge. Danny is a great historian and he made sure everyone could see and hear all the details in regards to the tour. I would highly recommend him and the Bein Harim Israel Tours.

This was a totally action packed tour. I am amazed at all we were able to see in a day. It was a very hot day and the tour guide was aware of his guests and made sure we were okay and hydrated. My fit bit said we walked 5 miles. I am 66 and my husband is 71 and we did fine but were challenged at times. The tour covers both the City of David ruins / excavation site outside the walls of the old city and then the tour continues into Old Jerusalem. Our Guide Daniel, was very knowledgable and shared so much information. The underground tunnels were amazing. Highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Roy was great. The tour was good too we had fun and enjoyed our time in Jerusalem. The only thing is the 2 transfers in the morning to get to our final bus but it wasn't too bad.

I joined this as part of my 3 day tour and loved it. Dorit Epstein was my guide and she's really good. It helps that she was a teacher so she remembered everyone's name. I'm also grateful that she walked me to my hotel doorstep, making sure that my luggage arrives at the hotel too. 5 star for her domain knowledge and outstanding service

Tour operator failed to confirm thst site was open on Independence Day, then cancelled the tour at 9 pm for a 6:40 pick up the next morning! They offered to put us on another tour that was supposed to go to Yad Vashem, which was closed, but again, they failed to tell us beforehand. Whats worse is their website lists conflicting information. I texted them from the tour and they were rude and obnoxious! They are a sloppy, inattentive tour operator, where its about taking your money and disclosing the shortcomings afterwards! I would avoid using this operator wherever possible! They had an opportunity to do the right thing a d failed miserably! You may be very disappointed! I will be taking it up further with TripAdvisor and Viator once back stateside!

Erez was an excellent and knowledgeable host who truly guided us through an unforgettable day! I wouldn’t miss this trip. The highlight for me was the Kotel, but city of david is quite the adventure.

We had an amazing time and experience on this tour. We took the bus from Tel Aviv with Itamar who was fun, entertaining, and very knowledgeable! We then got off in Jerusalem and had the tour with Yoel who was an amazing guide through the City of David! I can’t thank them both enough for the amazing experience my family had! If you need to find a tour company in Israel, use Bein Harim and if you get lucky to have Itamar and/other Yoel, it will be an even more amazing experience!

We loved the tour. We visited the city of David, the wall of mourning, we passed by Mount Scopus and Mount of Olives, always with great explanations about the places. Our guide, Dorit Epstein, was wonderful: patient, friendly, cult, full of stories to tell and with a great English to understand. I recommend the walk.

We hired the City of David and Underground Jerusalem tour which was all morning. They took us to see Jerusalem, the wall of wailing, the painful road, etc. everything we had already seen on the tour the previous day with the same company of Bein Harim. Although we complained to the guide Erick did not listen to us, another lady complained as well and they treated her horrible. Since they finished with the Jerusalem tour, they took us on the tour that if we had hired in an hour and a half, while the tour was all morning. We spent all morning waiting for the others to see what we had already seen outside the attractions. A lot of time is wasted because people are picked up and taken to a meeting point and until everyone who goes with you on the tour arrives, you already lost time in taking you and waiting for others.
