On May 8 my wife and I took the Mount of Olives Tour, and on May 9 we took the Holy City Tour. Both guides were extremely informative and friendly. I would like to point out that I have lived in Israel as an adult for the past 45 years and toured Jerusalem extensively. During the Mount of Olives Tour... More

Took the Holy City tour. Alan was a great tour guide-very knowledgeable and friendly! Saw just about everything I had wanted to see in the Old City-Jewish Quarter, Western Wall, almost all of the Holy Sepulchre and Via Dolorosa, the Temple Mount, and many other sites. The tour was longer than expected(about 4.5 hours) which was great since we also... More

I've joined the 2 hour free tour through the Old city of Jerusalem with a great guide. Brilliant idea to ask only a tip! Very interesting way to discover the history of this multicultural city - really recommended!

This is the last guided tour that we are taking at the very back end of a 9 months trip around the world and, we are glad to say, the best was left till last!!! Tour guiding in Israel is an incredibly competitive profession that required years of learning and tough tests that 80% of candidates fail. Our guide Alon... More

I'Ive been to Jerusalem twice before and had private tours. I decided to take the free tour as a refresher to the area and it was excellent. Our guide, Nir, was very informative and interesting. He answered questions and was mindful of the heat and sun and tried to stay in the shade as much as possible. The tour covered... More

Tour was excellent, very detailed and informative and provided a great overview of the Old City in Jerusalem. Best of all, it was free.

We used Sandemans tours in April to do a paid Holy City tour and Niros was our guide. There were 10 people on this tour. It cost 85 Shekel and we got excellent value for money. We were on the go for almost 5 hours with a 30 minute lunchbreak. He was informative, patient and completely apolitical which is just... More

I couldn't agree more with other costumes who have evaluated this tour. I took the mount of olives one and it is impressive. We were a group of five only which was very comfortable to have all of our questions answered by our guide. I do recommend this tour and I believe that if you leave Jerusalem without seeing mount...

The Sandemans Day tour was superb. I took the two Hour Free tour by Yariv Yaffe. He brought the old city to life explaining things really well. Ask for Yariv Yaffe. He explained things really well and answered all questions. Yariv took his time, allowed us time to take pictures and brought out the character of the old city. In... More

I recommend Sandeman's Holy City 3 hour Walking Tour. This tour concentrated only on the Old City and was an all walking tour so getting on and off a bus was not required. Our tour guide Allan was great. He started the tour in the Armenian Quarter , then Jewish Quarter , then Muslim , and the Christian Quarter was... More
