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.

Our party of four spent three full interesting and enjoyable days private touring with Assaf in the Galilee, Jerusalem and Dead Sea/Masada regions. In all respects Assaf was very knowledgeable... read more and informative, flexible on scheduling, and always attentive to our needs. When we climbed the Masada Snake Path at sunrise, Assaf was great in supporting both the faster and slower members of our party. I highly recommend Assaf to be your guide in Israel.

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!

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!

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.
