Informative, interesting, s lot of walking but worth it. Claudia was knowledgeable and made sure we were clear and understood what she was saying. Very interactive.

A nice tour with a knowledgable tour guide. Our family of four enjoyed our day. Make sure to leave time for a meal in the kosher strip.

Manuela was so thoughtful and had great knowledge of the area and its history. We were astounded mixing the contrast of eras against a 2000 year old back drop. A sad but educational experience.

Paolo, our tour guide, was exceptional, providing a deeply engaging and informative experience. His extensive knowledge of history and attention to detail brought each site to life, making the tour both educational and unforgettable. I highly recommend Paolo to anyone seeking a rich cultural journey! Thank you Viator for assigning him to our private tour! JZ
