Avner, our guide, was excellent! His knowledge of the history of the city and the people who live, and have lived here, really built a story around each site we visited. He brought a context to our visit and made the area come alive.
Great historical tour

Our tourguide Tal gave us a comprehensive overview about Old Jerusalem incl. the Wailing Wall and Temple Mount. We benefited a lot from her insights about these holy places. Seeing and experiencing so much history and religious influence, is something I can highly recommend. Abraham tours and Tal organized a great tour. Thanks!
Fantastic Tour- Don't miss it!

What an awesome trip!! We met at the Abraham Hostel, waited about 15 minutes before boarding the bus and then headed out. Once we got close to Jerusalem, our fantastic guide, Shockel? (I know I spelled that wrong but that is it phonetically)- started telling us all about everything! He was THE BEST GUIIDE EVER!! Literally, he had such a wide area of knowledge, he was fair and level in his history, he knew SO much- it is a long day, lots of walking, but plenty of resting/free time. Wear a hat if it's hot and I suggest a skirt or long shorts that cover the knee or else you have to wear odd skirts at the various holy places. The day was 8-7, so definitely a full day, but one of the best days we spend as far as learning about Jerusalem and seeing the entire city in one fell swoop. I definitely recommend this tour and I really hope you get Shockel, he is a gem!

Tour was great! Josh did a fantasic job of leading a group tour in Jerusalem. He took an unbiased approach in explaining the history of Jerusalem in the Muslim, Jewish, and Christian areas. Very laid back tour with stops at local markets in between checking out the religious sites. A great value!
Very Inspirational Time

Amazing walk through the Dome of the Rock. Great job for Sivan to time it so we had enough time to be at the Dome of the Rock.

Our tourist guide Amir was real knowledgeable and managed to explain over 2000 years of history from the eyes of 3 different religions. Quite a challenging task!
Great tour, even better guide!

Very detailed guidance about the history of the city, a perfect view as historians would do. The guide is deeply local so can speak even from personal eyes and see the city's history in a couple of years' time (and not only from history books). Will show and take you to all places that are essential to see. I would recommend for people in good physical condition, quite quick paced and need to take quite big effort to keep pace with it.
