Jerusalem Private Tour - February 2026
Located in the Judaean Mountains, with the Mediterranean on the one side and the Dead Sea on the other, Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world and holds a special significance for the followers of three major Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Join us on this ten-hour, guided tour to see the major highlights of this city. Meet your private tour guide at your hotel or accommodation in the city and get into our comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As you stand above the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, you will see the Old City; the Temple Mount, where once stood Solomon’s Temple that was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE; and the Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE. Below you is the Garden of Gethsemane, the Church of All Nations and the Kidron Valley with its ancient Jewish burial tombs.
Entering into the Old City via the Zion Gate, you will pass through the Armenian Quarter en route to the Jewish Quarter and the 1500-year-old Byzantine Cardo. Partially destroyed and unused during the Muslim conquest, this thoroughfare briefly had a new lease of life during the Crusade period.
Stop at Kotel, the Western Wall where Jews have prayed since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. Built by King Herod, the wall enclosed the Temple Mount area. The Via Dolorosa, also known as the Way of the Cross, is the route many pilgrims follow on their way to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which was built on the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and his burial tomb. Although the Byzantine church was partially destroyed during Persian and Muslim conquests, the rebuilt and redesigned Crusader Church preserves much of the earlier church.
Exit the Old City via the market and Jaffa Gate for a short tour of the new city. A visit to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum, reveals artefacts and photographs documenting the discrimination, persecution and finally the annihilation of Jewish communities across Europe. It also honours those righteous among the nations who risked their lives while trying to save Jews.
