The Old City of Jerusalem holds within its ancient walls incredible stories dating 3000 years back. The stories of kings and conquerors, rebellions, exiles, myths, faith, miracles, and bloody wars are all layers upon layers accumulated over time, waiting to be peeled away and retold.
The Old City has always been a residential area. Today, it is home to various communities belonging to the 3 large monotheistic faiths, residing in four quarters (Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim). However, in spite of the fact that the space within the walls is rather small (less than one square kilometer), it is also packed with important religious sites frequented year-round by people from all over the world.
On this tour, we will visit some of the Old City’s most symbolic religious and historic sites such as the Western Wall, the Via Dolorosa, and The Church of Holy Sepulcher, the Room of Last Supper and King David’s Tomb on Mount Zion and much more. While we walk from site to site we will be able to observe the local communities as they go about their day-to-day lives.
The itinerary is one of many optional itineraries that can be planned as a day tour in the Old City. We at Aizen Travel offer highly customized tours, based on a continuous dialogue with our clients. We make it our priority to tailor-suit tours based on preferences, needs, budget, and interests, ensuring your Old City experience will be perfect. Changes can also be made on-the-go as your day with the guide unfolds.

We visited Israel for the first time, and had Assaf guide us through this amazing experience. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the sites and region in general is superlative, and... read more that made our visit deeply engaging. Always easygoing and flexible to what you need to see or do, he is a limb above the several guides we have used before. Thanks, Assaf !!!
Should you ever visit Israel, do not hesitate in contacting him !
PS Ask him about the delicious local cuisine, and more importantly, indulge

Assaf was excellent for our family trip. He wove stories and information about Israeli history and culture into the tour and was able to pivot between talking to someone who... read more had been to Israel multiple times (me) and people who had not been there at all (my parents).
I highly recommend Assaf!

Assaf Aizen is a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We recently toured with him for 4
days. This was not our first trip to Israel but the one... read more we enjoyed the most. At
this point in time we are in our mid 70s and we both have certain limitations. He was always
sensitive to our needs and flexible and realistic enough to adjust the itinerary daily
as needed. At times we decided to do something different than scheduled. These
changes were always enjoyable. Assaf went above and beyond to make our
daily excursions pleasurable and instructive. He enjoys what he is doing and
therefore you do as well. Assaf is a real mensch. Our next trip back will definitely
be with him. There are only positives with Assaf. We highly recommend him to
all, young and old.

We were a group of 8 (friends) traveling first time to Israel by cruise. Everything worked out fine and smooth since the beginning - Assaf greeted us with his... read more bright smiley face at the port, a new, modern and comfortable van always picked up and dropped off at the right time / places, Assaf knows how to escape the queues (most sites are jam-packed!) and so we succeeded to visited all major sites per itinerary and can even add some little treats from a delicious local lunch, a Turkish coffee to a Dead Sea mud experience !
Needless to say, he always do his best to enlighten us on the history, culture and religion which are new and overwhelming to us!
Assaf is always enthusiastic, amusing and listening / accommodating to our requests. We all like him very much and agree that he’s so far the best guide we’ve met! BRAVO Assaf! Look forward to seeing you next in Israel!

Assaf guided us through a 3 trip up the north coast of Israel and then the Golan Heights.
Within minutes you feel like he is an old friend, his... read more enthusiasm is infectious and he's great fun to be with. Clearly very knowledgeable about history & religion, but pitches it just right for his audience. Gave us a very interesting insight into the Kibbutz system.
Good news - he also knows the best places to eat!

Our first time visit to Israel greatly exceeded our expectations, and much of the credit for this is due to the experience, knowledge, and care provided by our guide Assaf.... read more He crafted each day’s pace, selection of sites, and discussion to our small group of four’s needs and wishes.
Assaf has a deep knowledge of the historic and religious significance of all the sites we visited as we traveled through Jaffa, Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, the historic sites around the Dead Sea, etc. We also enjoyed his thoughtful discussion, when prompted, about current Middle East situations and culture.
Assaf introduced us to fascinating and delicious local cuisine, where we were treated as favored guests. At shops and bazaars his advice was welcome, and his negotiation skills were always exceptional.
Assaf’s always-friendly demeanor and broad smile brightened every day. We will strongly recommend him to anyone we know traveling to Israel, and hope to have a chance to explore more of Israel with him in the future.

What an exceptional surprize! My first time to Israel and Assaf was more than just a tour guide, he turned out to be a historian, someone who could explain the... read more reason for the political history as well as make it all understandable to an outsider to Israel. We covered a lot ground in just one day but I never felt rushed since Assif took care of every little detail from start to finish. We saw not only the key sites but found some of the best food in the most "off the beaten path" places which made me realize that his expertise also included where the average tourist would not go... overall an amazing experiece, one which I hope to repeat again.
