What To Expect

Your tour starts on the Mount of Olives at the Church of the Ascension, where you will meet your guide. Mount of Olives, Church of Ascension marks the spot where Jesus ascended to heaven and there is a rock with an imprinted footprint thought to be where Jesus stood before his ascension. Next you will visit the Church of the Pater Noster where Jesus taught the Lord’s Prayer. There are plaques on the walls with the Lord’s Prayer written in more than a hundred languages. Visit the grotto where Jesus would have taught, which is also where Jesus told his disciples of the eminent destruction of Jerusalem and the 2nd coming. During your time at the Mount of Olives, you will have a breathtaking view of the Temple Mount, the Old City and the City of David. You will also see the Dominus Flevit. The church was built to commemorate the site where Jesus wept over the fate of Jerusalem. You will visit the Franciscan church designed by the famous Antonio Barluzzi. Next is without a doubt one of the most impressive sites in Jerusalem and one of the most moving moments in the last days of Jesus, Gethsemane or Church of all Nations. This is the church Jesus prayed alone to God. Next up on the tour is the Grotto of Gethsemane. The cave is decorated by Crusader frescoes and graffiti. Afterwards see the Tomb of the Virgin Mary. This Crusader church was built over a quarried-out tomb that may well date from the 1st century, surrounded with the atmosphere of the Orthodox Churches, hanging lamps and incense. The tour then leads you to Bethesda Pools, where it is said Jesus healed the paralytic. The site is a series of reservoirs and medicinal pools excavated in the late 19th century, but it has taken more than 100 years for archaeologists to accurately identify and interpret the site. You will then walk to the Via Dolorosa. There you will enter Old Jerusalem through the Lion’s Gate, and follow the painful path of Jesus on his way to his crucifixion. You will then see the Austrian Hospice, the first national pilgrims’ guesthouse in the Holy Land, dated from 1863, before moving onto see the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. This is the final station of the tour and will be where you leave your guide.

Efrat was our tour guide and I high recommend her!! She accommodated to our needs throughout the entire tour, and I appreciate her for that. Efrat met us at the hotel and grabbed a taxi to our first site. You have to pay for the taxi ride but that’s the only time you will have to use taxi. The rest is walking ( ALOT) from one place to another, which wasn’t bad at all! She does asked you if you are ok or need a small break. This tour was private which I loved because it’s at your own pace and you really get the experienced you need. It wasn’t rushed or anything. I would definitely booked and use her Efrat again if I visit Jerusalem again.
This isn't a Tour - it's an Investment

If you're going to take a lifetime trip to Jerusalem I highly encourage investing in the experience and getting a personal tour with Gavriel. Do no join a big group and fight for the views, deal with the lines, listen through headphones and deal with random distractions from others. I took my mom for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Jerusalem and the best decision I made was getting a private tour. Why: 1) Gavriel walks you place to place with a no rush - as much details as you want attitude 2) Per my request, gave us the views of all the religions about the sites so I can see where commonalities existed and where they did not (which was fascinating) 3) Interact with you like a personal friend would - it's a conversation - not a presentation Bonus: We opted to skip our lunch time and get to another area we wanted to visit - was it a problem? Nope. Bonus #2: We wanted to spend more time in certain places and less time in others - was it a problem? Nope. You are taking the time and spending your money on an amazing learning experience - go cheaper on your dining and make your investment in this private tour. You won't regret it - that's a promise.
Wonderful experience

Great tour, Eva had a lot of knowledge about the history of Jesus. She was right on time, was very flexible to accommodate our time constraints and special requests. She also was very respectful of our own views and way of experiencing the tour. We highly recommend it, thanks Eva!

We took the Jerusalem Walking Tour and we were fortunate to meet Shimon who was our tour guide. With his historical timeline and the Bible passages as references provided us with clear and in depth understanding of the significance of each site we visited. It was an amazing experience.
Amazing experience..!

Nadia was simply the best guide ever. We had an amazing experience with her and Tony our driver. Nadia not only has so much knowledge about her country’s history she makes it so entertaining to listen to. Time just flew and we can only highly recommend to book her guided tours. They get booked up very quickly…:-)
