Very Knowledgeable Tour Guide

Robert_A, Jun 2026

David, the tour guide is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour and it was nice to get his take on the various locations and traditions from his archeologist perspective. Was a great full day of seeing the old city of Jerusalem culminated with a visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. He is also very respected in the tour guide world of Jerusalem so you won’t be disappointed hiring him.
