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.

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 IS THE GUIDE YOU WANT FOR YOUR TRIP TO ISRAEL - I cannot say enough great things about how good Assaf was as our guide. Better than 5 stars in my opinion. For 10 days, Assaf took us around Israel... read more from Tel Aviv, to Haifa, all the way up north, then down to Jerusalem, with many stops in between. This is the second time my family has used Assaf as our guide, and he was specifically requested for this trip. Assaf knows all in the in's and out's to make your trip memorable. He is very puntucal each morning, and hits all the spots on your trip as scheudled. He is very very professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and a true pleasure to be with each day. He knows a lot and will teach you a lot. He provides a very personal experience that is top rate. It felt like my relative taking me on a tour of Israel. While we did go to all the big ticket "touristy" spots, he also took us on really fun activities and hit other spots that were uniquely differenet and new. He shows you and lets you experience the local vibe and cuisine of each city you visit. Assaf knows all the local great local food spots as well. Assaf takes the time to make sure you are getting the most out of your trip. He goes abnove and beyond what you would expect. There was a very specific hanukkiah I was in search of during my trip. Although I never found it during my trip, I gave Assaf a picture of it and he said he would use his resources to find it. Well wouldn't youi know it, 2 weeks after I returned home he contacted me to let me know he found. Never thought it would happen. Amazing. Not just any guide would do that after the fact. That's what makes him great. I will definitely be using and recommending Assaf in the future.

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!
16/10/2019 Assaf took our company's management team on two amazing tours in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. He was very well-informed and enriching but also funny and nice to be around.... read more The planning of the tours was perfect, and everyone had a great time. Thank you Assaf, it was such a pleasure! can't wait to have more guests coming in from overseas to show them our beautiful country with your help.
