Top Jerusalem Private Sightseeing Tours

Ami our tour guide was great. He was very passionate about his job and was very knowledgeable about everything. If you are lucky to get him as a guide you will definitely be impressed. As for the lunch stop I think it would be better to go someplace else. I wasn’t impressed with food. Maybe get something a little bit quicker or go to the restaurant at the Baptismal site.

Great tour company with an excellent guide and drivers. We visited all the places as per the schedule. On the return to Jerusalem, we were delayed at an Israeli checkpoint for about two hours. The driver handled the situation professionally, ensured our safety, and arranged for another driver to pick up us after the checkpoint.

Just as advertised, this tour was fully customizable, both before and during the tour! Immediately after booking, I sent a message with basic details about us and 6-7 sites we wanted to see. I also mentioned we were open to any other sites our guide thought we might enjoy. Setting a meeting point was easy, and Saba was easy to find and right on time! At the start of the tour, he shared our tentative itinerary and asked if it met our needs. It did! From there, we headed to the Tower of David Museum, which was the perfect starting point. With timeline visual aids provided by the museum, Saba summarized the chronological history of Jerusalem. This gave context to the rest of the tour, putting each site in perspective. At each site, Saba provided a thorough, yet easy-to-understand explanation of what we were seeing and why it was meaningful. He always stated what were going to do next, and checked in multiple times to see if we needed to take a break, go to the bathroom, or wanted to take a detour to a different site within view. Although he gave us options, we felt zero pressure to curate the trip. We quickly trusted his guidance and felt comfortable asking questions. My boyfriend doesn't usually like tours because he says the guide is usually "too much" or the itinerary feels too packed or "touristy". This was not at all the case. We felt got to see everything we wanted and more, in a private, laid back environment that made us feel like locals. After the tour, my boyfriend said it was the best one he's ever done and Saba was the perfect fit. Furthermore, my boyfriend is from Israel and he was surprised by how little he actually knew about Jerusalem! We highly, highly recommend! Take what you love about all the other tours, and make your own with this one!
