- 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.

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.

The 150 good reviews of Meni Tzabari speaks for itself! - We were a group of 7 ladies that had an amazing private guided tour to Jerusalem with Meni Tzabari. In one day you only briefly get to experience all the fantastic history of Jerusalem but Meni added 100% to that by all his fantastic stories and passion for his country. No question asked was "stupid". We will most definitaly come back. Just read all his reviews, they speak for themselves.

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

Beware - I found the trip is good value for money however, I went with my 6 month old. I had no help putting the pushchair in the boot and had to do it myself while holding the infant, staff stood watching and didn’t offer to help even though the could see I was struggling. When we arrived in Jerusalem I was told I could not take the pushchair as there we to many steps and did I have a baby carrier. Lucky for me I had taken one. It was a long day, 6 hours of walking with a baby in a carrier and holding the changing bag. My watch measured I had walked just under 10000 steps. The last trip on the day was the Holocaust museum which on arrival I was told by the rep I was not allowed in with children so I would have to wait outside with for 1 hour 45 minutes. Before booking the need to advise u that u can’t take a pushchair, it’s not advisable to take young children and there is only one break for lunch, no time is given to but souvenirs, and no rest or drink breaks. The whole trip was very rushed I felt I missed out on a lot due to being exhausted. This trip is designed for young adults that are fit. There was a pregnant lady and a person who had a knee replacement on the trip no consideration was given and we all just had to get on with it. I was glad to get back to the hotel. Everything is free to see in Jerusalem so I would advise to go yourself and do a little each day. Everything is clearly explained in English so a rep isn’t needed.
