Just outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, the archaeological site of the City of David is where the city began thousands of years ago.

From the palace of King David to the Canaanite Cyclopian buildings, and inside King Hezekiah's tunnel *in the water*, to the real pool of Siloam and the ancient street of the time of Jesus we will discover the Jerusalem of the Bible.

And what is extraordinary is that most of the site is *underground*!

This place is not just an archaeological park, It is a unique adventure!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Private Tour with Nissim Slama at the City of David! Our private tour of the City of David with Nissim Slama was absolutely outstanding! We were a group of two adults and two children, and Nissim made the entire experience engaging, educational, and fun for everyone. His passion for history and deep knowledge of the site truly brought the ancient city to life. The kids especially loved walking through the water tunnels, and Nissim made sure they felt safe, curious, and excited the whole time. He took extra time to explain things on their level, answer all our questions, and personalize the tour to our interests. His warmth, humor, and enthusiasm made us feel like we were exploring with a friend rather than a guide. We left with unforgettable memories, a deeper appreciation of Jerusalem’s history, and smiles all around. If you’re visiting the City of David, book a tour with Nissim Slama — you won’t find anyone better!

Amazing! The tour was a highlight of our trip to Jerusalem. Nissim was a terrific tour guide—intelligent, knowledgeable, responsive, humorous, He allowed us to develop our own itinerary. Nissim managed to squeeze everything into our allotted time. I had never before hired a private guide and I have to say it was a fabulous experience. Well worth the time and money. Do not hesitate to book Nissim. You’ll thank me. First photo is Nissim. Second photo is the water tunnel, Hezekiah’s Tunnel (or Siloam Tunnel) which we got to explore.
