- Eglise du Saint-Sepulcre - The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is revered as Golgotha (Hill of Calvary), the site of Christ’s crucifixion, making it a pilgrimage destination for Christians worldwide. It is also recognized as the location of Jesus’ burial and resurrection. The church has experienced a tumultuous history, having been nearly destroyed and later suffering from neglect, fire, and earthquake damage. In 1959, the Church was renovated by Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, and Roman Catholic custodians, each maintaining their sections within the Church.
- Monte das Oliveiras - A historic mountain mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, now serving as a cemetery and sacred site.
- Dormition Abbey - Situated on Mount Zion, this is one of the most impressive churches in Jerusalem due to its size, beauty, and location overlooking the Old City.
- King David’s Tomb - One of the most sacred sites for Jews. The Bible notes that King David was buried in the City of David, located at the foot of the Temple Mount.

Clear and well-paced introduction to Jerusalem - The Jerusalem tour was packed with information. In just one day, I gained a clear overview of the city’s layered history. Our guide Itamar was professional and kept the pace steady without feeling rushed.
If you have already visited the Holocaust Museum, you might want to consider the half-day version instead. This would leave you more time to explore on your own.

Fabulous Day Tour - Fabulous day, so enlightening in regards to the history and highlights of Jerusalem and the immediate area. So much we didn't know or thought we knew that was wrong. Our guide was a walking encyclopedia, so patient and attentive to our small group. We were exhausted when the day was done, but it was the most culturally enriching day of our lives.

If Meni Tzabari is your tour guide in Israel, you’ve struck gold! - We are on a Jewish Heritage Tour with Meni and have been touring Jerusalem with him and will go on to Eilat with Meni as well. His unbelievable organizational skills have made this tour a pleasure. We beat all the crowds every day without sacrificing any site to see. He is full of surprises and his in depth knowledge of Israel and its history are unbeatable. He has a story for each site, is historically accurate, and his love and pride of Israel shines through. He knows each person on the tour by name and looks to meet their individual needs. He also works flawlessly with our bus driver, Mahdi. Every day with him is truly a joy. Meni is a treasure (great sense of humor too!) and the best tour guide we’ve ever had!

Authentic Tour - A must to do Tour.
The tour was so amazing and organised well with enough time to visit all quarters and get the experience of the old city of religions.
Solomon our guide is the perfect person for providing the information, help & support during the full trip, very professional and always making sure that everyone feel comfortable.
Amjad was our bus driver, one of the most beautiful souls you can meet, very professional driving, helpful and trying to help you at most.
Thanks for the company management, special thanks to Solomon and Amjad.
Highly I recommend this tour with Rent a Guide operator.

Spellbinding - We had a full days excursion from Tel Aviv to Gethsemane, Old Jerusalem and Bethlehem. We couldn't have asked for better weather, Sunny and 60's F. No lines and our driver/guide was simply amazing. His name is Israel and his knowledge and story telling was spellbinding and his English was excellent. I highly recommend.

Small group tour of Jerusalem - The small tour had a knowledgeable guide that was happy to accommodate special requests from group member.This meant timing were not managed effectively, sometimes we waited for ages at certain sites whilst at others we were rushed past.

Jerusalem here I come! - Excellent experience but wish that it is a two day tour, since one day was not enough to see it all. Overall it is a great experience for me.

Changing shuttles during most of the day - First the best part. Our guide Salomon in the Old town was excellent. Now I know how is like to be a package in FedEx. We were picked up from near our Hotel 7:20 am were taken to a parking lot with people from other tours to be distributed in other shuttles, only left from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, 2 1/2 hours later. During the day changed shuttles no less than 7 times, and returned 11 hours later and the only interesting part of the tour was the Old Town, we also spent 1:30 hour at the Holocaust museum. All the rest of the time going back and forth in shuttles to pick other people
