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 family have had great guides in many counties, but they should take lessons from Assaf. From the moment we met him, we knew we would get along. He’s easygoing,... read more flexible, and the kind of person you’d hang out with. He’s also a fountain of information on history, geography, even the flora and fauna of his county. He speaks excellent English and communicates in a friendly and yet informative way. He’ll go the extra mile to pick a eucalyptus branch for my mom or locate a hard to find souvenir. He’s also a major foodie and we loved all of his recommendations. His van is new, spotless and comfortable. What else can I say? Our family trip to Israel was elevated to a life changing experience because of Assaf. Message to Touring Israel, the agency who matched him with us - this man is a keeper!

The Only Guide You'll Ever Need in Israel! - There are truly not enough words to express how incredible Assaf is! Look no further for one of the best tour guides in Israel hands down!
Assaf made our... read more little group's tour of Israel better than I could have ever imagined. He is SO knowledgeable in the history, culture, religion, and essence of Israel. He knows all of the tips and tricks to ensure that his groups beat all of the rushes at the most popular tourist spots. He knew the best spots to enjoy local cuisine, and was so helpful in the bazaar's to know whether we were getting a good deal or not.
Assaf was also an incredible advocate for our group when things were not going right at hotels or sites.
He was so fun, easygoing, and remarkably flexible when plans needed to change in a pinch.
By the end of our time, we not only gained an enriching, memorable experience, but a lifelong friend in Assaf too. I will be forever grateful to our tour company for pairing us with him!
I wholeheartedly recommend Assaf as a tour guide. You won't regret it 🙂

22/09/2022 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.
