Join our Highlights of Jerusalem Day Tour to discover the most fascinating sites in Israel’s stunning capital city, including both historical, religious, and modern landmarks. Our comprehensive tour will first take you to soak up history in Jerusalem’s Old City. You will take in the ancient white Jerusalem stone architecture and come face-to-face with places you have always dreamed of seeing, like the Western Wall, the Via Dolorosa, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. During our invigorating tour, you will explore the Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Armenian quarters of the Old City as you savor the sights, smells, and delicious tastes of the bazaars.

After a comprehensive tour of the Old City, you will explore modern Jerusalem via the bustling city center of Jaffa street. Your tour will end in one of the most popular spots in the entire city, the Machane Yehuda Market. Your senses will be heightened as the aromas of fresh hummus and shawarma cooking on the spit waft through the air and locals come to barter with produce sellers. The market is the best place to experience Jerusalem coming to life. The Highlights of Jerusalem Day Tour departs every day, rain or shine, and will give you the most comprehensive overview of this unique metropolis.
