About this activity
Enjoy an over view of the Temple Mount from Mount Olives, as Jesus would have done when he entered the city two thousand years ago. Descend to the Church of Agony and the Garden of Gethsemane, where he was betrayed by Judas.
Enter the Old City through the Dung Gate and stop at the Western Wall (Kotel), where Jews over the centuries have wept for the Temple which was destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 CE.
Continue on the cobbled streets of the Old City to the Crusader Church of St. Anne where one can see the remains of the pools of Bethesda, where Jesus healed "the man who had been ill for thirty eight years (John 5:1-13). Follow the way of the Stations of the Cross through the Via Dolorosa, ending at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, place of the Crucifixion and resurrection.
Wander in the market alleys and along the main Byzantine street, the Cardo, with its restored Crusader stores. Exit the Old City through the Zion Gate. Visit the traditional site of the Tomb of the biblical King David and the Room of the Last Supper on Mt. Zion.
If time permits, visit the Church of Peter Gallicantu Church where Jesus was held prisoner and where Peter heard the cock crow as he denied knowing Jesus. End the day with a visit to the Garden Tomb.

This was the second tour we took to the Old City, 30 years apart. Sarah gave us everything we had remembered and more. She took us place and provided wonderful history lessons and information and made our entire day fun and interesting. Sarah is the best tour guide every
My wife and I did the 1 day private tour with Eli Parnasa and we both knew immediately it would be a great day. Eli's great attitude has a way of putting you and total ease. He was very knowledgeable about all of the sites we saw and mixed in some humor along the way to keep the mood nice and light. We don't like when there are big crowds when checking out sites so it was perfect that Eli took us down lots of little 'hidden' backstreets in Old Jerusalem where we felt like we got a real feel for the city. He was able to answer all of our questions and we found ourselves having great conversations about religion, politics, food and family. It really felt like we were just hanging out with someone we knew. I'd highly recommend this tour...especially if you can get Eli :
