Amazing experience not just with the delicious food, history of the food but the stimulating conversation with Orna. She is a wealth of knowledge and so much fun. I will most certainly repeat this tour with Orna every single visit to Jersualem.
Great day. Great guide.

Orna was terrific. Intelligent, educated and fun to be with. Her command of the history and religions in Jerusalem is nothing short of extraordinary. And, she is so personable, that halfway through the tour it felt more like she was family. If you tour Jerusalem with her BE SURE to end it with her culinary tour of the Mahane Yahuda market.
