Private Tour Jerusalem Old City: Four Quarters & Hidden CornersA private half-day guided tour of Jerusalem's Old City for up to 6 travelers, with a professional English-speaking guide who customizes the itinerary after booking. The tour covers the four quarters—Christian, Jewish, Armenian and one unnamed—plus the Temple Mount, Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Via Dolorosa, Cardo and Jaffa Gate. The guide brings you to rooftop viewpoints and lesser-known sites; dress code required (knees and shoulders covered) and moderate fitness needed.Is it for me?Your guide—part of our independent network, not a company—shapes the route around what draws you, lingering in hidden corners and layering in the history and faith that matter most to you.
Jerusalem: Dual Narrative Tour with Two GuidesYou walk the Old City's major sites—Jaffa Gate, Armenian Quarter, Jewish Quarter, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Via Dolorosa, Western Wall, and Al-Aqsa Mosque—guided by one Israeli and one Palestinian who explain competing histories at each stop. The tour requires moderate fitness, covered shoulders and knees, and several hours on foot. You'll finish with two perspectives on Jerusalem's future, not one.Is it for me?Book this if you want to understand Jerusalem's competing histories rather than just see its landmarks, and if you're willing to spend several hours walking and listening to two guides explain the same places differently. The format—two narrators, one city—is what makes the complexity visible instead of hidden.
Bethlehem & Dead Sea: Nativity Church, Milk Grotto & Mud FloatYou’ll walk through Bethlehem’s storied streets with a local guide, see holy places like the Nativity Church and Milk Grotto, then float weightless in the Dead Sea’s salty water. Expect laughter over muddy hands and quiet moments in centuries-old chapels — this day trip leaves more questions than answers, in a good way.
Jerusalem: Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum with GuideYou'll spend 2.5 hours moving through nine galleries of the Holocaust History Museum with a trained Yad Vashem guide, seeing the original Auschwitz Album, walking a reconstructed Warsaw Ghetto street, and standing in the Hall of Names. Headsets, all fees, and gratuities are included. The tour runs Friday mornings, and afterward you can explore the grounds at your own pace.Is it for me?Book this if you want to understand the Holocaust through primary sources and expert context without arranging transport or navigating the museum alone—the guide and the structured route through nine galleries is what transforms a visit into education.
Bethlehem, Jericho & Jordan River: Full Day from JerusalemYou visit the Church of the Nativity and Milk Grotto in Bethlehem with a guide, then move through the Jordan Valley to the baptism site and ancient Jericho on your own. Transport, water, and Bethlehem guidance are included; Jericho entry fees (10 NIS each for Tel es-Sultan and Hisham's Palace) are separate. Plan for a full day and bring your passport for checkpoint crossing.Is it for me?Right for travelers based in Jerusalem who want to see Bethlehem, the Jordan River, and Jericho in one full day without arranging separate transport and guides. Expect a vehicle switch at the checkpoint and self-guided exploration in Jericho—that's what fits three major biblical sites into a single outing.
Jerusalem to Petra & Wadi Rum: 3-Day Jordan TourYou travel with one guide from Jerusalem through the King Hussein Border crossing into Jordan for three full days. You spend a day exploring Petra on foot, ride a 4x4 through Wadi Rum's desert landscape, visit Mount Nebo and Madaba, and sleep in Bedouin-style campsites. All entry fees, meals, transport, and accommodation are included; the guide handles the border crossing and logistics so you don't have to.Is it for me?Book this if you're leaving from Jerusalem and want to see Petra and Wadi Rum without arranging separate transport, accommodation, border paperwork, or meals—the single guide and fixed itinerary remove all the logistics that usually fragment a cross-border trip into pieces.
Dead Sea, Masada & Ein Gedi Day Tour from JerusalemA self-guided day tour from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, Masada and Ein Gedi Nature Reserve, with air-conditioned transport and entrance fees included. You take the cable car up Masada's cliff face to explore the ruins and views, hike through Ein Gedi's freshwater streams and waterfalls, then float in the Dead Sea's mineral-rich waters and therapeutic mud. The tour runs 10 hours with no rigid group schedule—you set the pace at each stop.Is it for me?Depart from a central Jerusalem location instead of waiting for hotel pickups, which means you start the day on time and maximize hours at each site. This works well if you're staying in the city without a rental car and want to see three major sites in one outing without a guide's narration or fixed group pace.
Bethlehem, Jericho & Qasr El Yahud Day Trip from JerusalemA nine-hour guided day trip from Jerusalem visits Bethlehem, Jericho, and Qasr El Yahud, the baptismal site on the Jordan River. Hotel pickup, a professional English-speaking guide, entrance fees and an air-conditioned vehicle are included. A Palestinian guide meets you at the Bethlehem border and may require a vehicle change; dress code (knees and shoulders covered) is required for places of worship, and descent into the Nativity cave is not always possible due to visitor volume.Is it for me?Choose this tour if you're visiting both Jericho and Bethlehem in one day and need a guide who can navigate the West Bank crossing from Jerusalem.

The itinerary moves through Mount Scopus, the Dome of the Rock, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Western Wall, the Via Dolorosa and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, then descends to the Dead Sea for a float. The tour covers ten hours and suits all fitness levels; dress code requires knees and shoulders covered for places of worship.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're visiting Jerusalem for the first time or have only a day to see the major holy sites—the guide's knowledge of the Old City's layout and history means you cover ten significant stops without getting lost in the maze of streets. The Dead Sea float at the end gives you a completely different experience in the same day, so you're not choosing between the two.
Dead Sea, Masada at Sunrise and Ein Gedi Tour from JerusalemThis 10-hour tour from Jerusalem takes you to three Dead Sea region sites: Masada's archaeological ruins (reached by cable car), Ein Gedi Nature Reserve's desert oasis with springs and pools, and the Dead Sea itself for floating and mud bathing. The tour is self-guided at each stop; air-conditioned transport and Dead Sea beach entry are included. Entrance fees to Masada and Ein Gedi, food, drinks and towels are at your own expense, though towels can be rented at the meeting point.Is it for me?The 10-hour commitment means you leave before dawn and return mid-afternoon, which works if your schedule has the morning free but rules out a full day of other activities. This is a self-guided tour at each stop, so you set your own pace at the ruins, the oasis and the water—there's no group instruction or tight timing within the day itself.
