Reviews on TripAdvisor

  We had an amazing day on this tour! Menno is a walking encyclopedia who provided a great combination of history, architecture and urban development insights, while at the same time... read more pointing out all the bars and restaurants that we should visit (bellboy cocktailbar here we come!). The Carmel market was an experience by itself and we would have never found the hidden gems we were taken to. Felt like a local with all the different food and beer tryouts! The tour was for us (brothers 20-something + 30-something) perfectly balanced in terms of comfortably walking with a coffee to go, sightseeing/listening and enjoying the market.

  I signed up for the 5-hour tour of Old Jerusalem and it was amazing! Leo was very knowledgeable and was a fantastic guide. Since this was a private... read more tour, I was able to move at my pace (quite brisk, in my opinion!) and it felt much more personalized. Just let Leo know what it is you would like to get out of the tour, and she will accommodate you. Highly, HIGHLY, recommend this tour! 11/10!

  Shimon was great. We loved our tour with him. I happen to be in Jerusalem with a guided tour last week, so it was easy for me to compare... read more and contrast the experiences. THIS tour was the one we wanted. Last weeks tour was a mess, but that's a different story. The tour highlights for us was getting into and up and personal with the Dome on the Rock (pervious guide just said we weren’t allowed in since we weren’t Muslim with no further explanation). Also, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was an amazing experience that Shimon brought to life including seeing many areas that our other tour simply didn't show (my favorite was the spot where the crosses were found). And for me, as my favorite way to experience a new place is through food, going to the hummus place with Shimon and sitting down for an authentic Arabic coffee was perfect. I actually sometimes book specific food tours of places I go, and this tour kind of nailed both. Todo Raba for the great experience.

  The Tour of Jerusalem we have taken in Nov. 2021 was really a professional, instructive and in the same time relaxed and friedly one. Our tour guide Meno was attentive... read more to everybody's needs which is not a easy task but he succeded being warm friendly and calm, We strongly reccomend this great tour, easy to take and a good lesson of history and religion as well. When we will visit Tel Aviv / Jerusalem will definetly call again our friend / guide Meno de Vries - ITA Travel & Tourism Ltd.

  Obviously a lot of work has been allocated to making this tour a real pleasure. From the Temple Mount to the Mount of Olives to the Holy Sepulcher and the... read more Wailing Wall, all the major sites were covered. The explanations were clear and included maps and pictures shown in the bus from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem; and they were nicely complemented onsite by a well-articulated and smiling Menno. Thanks for a great day!

  Usually, I’m not a fan of organized tours. They are often slow and too much time is spent in souvenir shops and sponsored restaurants. But after reading the good reviews... read more of this Boutique tour I decided to join it. I was a good decision. I had a great day in Jerusalem and learnt new things about the history and culture. The pace of the tour is relaxing, not to slow and not too fast. On the bus Menno talked about the history of Israel and the three major religions in a neutral way. We also received explanations at the sights, sometimes with pictures to make it clearer. Because of the small size of the group, it is easy to make contact with the fellow travelers. After a wonderful day with a lot of new experiences and knowledge we went back with the comfortable minibus to Tel Aviv. And the cold beers in the bus really finish it off! A day to remember.

  Informative, fun and laid back! We experienced all the highlights of the old city of Jerusalem without being overwhelmed. Departure from Tel Aviv was convenient, well organized and not... read more too early. Menno guided us pleasantly and with great expertise.

  A great experience! The trip to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv was perfectly arranged in a luxury mini-van. No changes of busses or unnecessary stops at crappy petrol stations like I’ve... read more experienced with some of the other tours. Huge advantage to be with a small group. On the way our guide Menno gave a detailed and balanced history of old and new Israel, including visuals shown on a TV in the van.

We walked down to the city from mount olive and saw the main Jewish, Muslim and Christian sites always with extremely informative explanations. It was super impressive and we managed to see a lot without feeling rushed or taking forever. We had lunch in the Eastern side of Jerusalem, in a very clean restaurant (including clean toilets) with a very nice panoramic view.

We had three tour guides joining us on the tour who were there to learn from Menno. This made me think he must really be the best. The fact that this tour is rated one of the top 10 experiences in the Middle East is deserved 100 percent.

I found this tour using Google and came across Menno’s phone number so I sent him a WhatsApp to see if the tour was happening considering corona etc. He replied within 10 min although it was a weekend. Top service.

  Great virtual tour. Very illustrative and lively. Big difference to watching a video -- the guide is always ready to stop, answer questions, address specific requests.

Nadia gave an excellent overview of the whole history of Jerusalem during bus ride from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

You can't manage to visit as many sites and get as much information in one day by yourself. Thank you Nadia!

The tour started at the Mount of Olives, at a lookout which gave us a view of the old city. We then walked down hill, visiting a number of holy sites, with Nadia giving us the historical context of each venue we visited. Thorough and knowledgeable commentary was very helpful to our understanding of all the faiths interacting in Jerusalem over the centuries. The mini-bus was waiting for us at a scheduled pick up location and we were transported to the Dung Gate of the old city, where we accessed the Dome of the Rock for a visit. We had a mid-tour stop for a rest and simple lunch. The tour ended at the Western Wall before the transfer back to Tel Aviv.

I recommend this tour to any person interested in a more in depth visit to Jerusalem. While we previously visited Jerusalem on multiple occasions, this tour gave us more insight into the churches, synagogues, and other holy sites. The commentary very much added to our appreciation of
