Tour Jerusalem & Israel

Jerusalem is the most popular tourist destination in Israel, attracting millions of tourists and pilgrims from all over the world each year, exploring a vast array of archaeological sites, holy sites, churches, modern museums and of course, Jerusalem’s Old City. Jerusalem holds a special significance for the world’s main three monotheistic religions. For over 3000 years, Jerusalem has remained at the center of Jewish life and prayer. As the holiest city in Judaism, observant Jews world-wide pray three times each day in its direction, towards the site where the Temple once stood. For Christians, the Holy City is sacred as well, as according to Christian tradition, Jerusalem is where Jesus preached, was persecuted, crucified and ultimately resurrected. Jerusalem also remains holy to Muslims, as it is the home to the Dome of the Rock, where, according to Muslim belief, Muhammad ascended to heaven. Beyond the holy offerings here, Jerusalem remains the vibrant, metropolitan capital of the contemporary State of Israel, with plenty going on in terms of arts, academia, world-class dining, architecture, business opportunities, nightlife, culture, tech and staggering urban development projects. So no matter what your beliefs and interests, a tour of Jerusalem and setting foot on the land where both Judaism and Christianity were born can be an eye-opening and informative experience. With four vast quarters surrounded by eight massive gates, the Old City of Jerusalem is a highly popular destination for Jerusalem walking tours. Most Jerusalem tours encompass journeys around the Old City’s four quarters: the Jewish Quarter, the Armenian Quarter, the Muslim Quarter and the Christian Quarter. Because each of these offers different religious, historical and cultural landscapes, each offers a unique experience. For more than 2,000 years, the Western Wall has been standing intact and sturdy, being the primary remnant of the retaining wall that supported the Second Temple in the days of King Herod. The Western Wall is considered to be Jerusalem’s holiest site, attracting millions of visitors every year. Traditionally, visitors insert small pieces of paper with written prayers into the crevices of the wall. Starting at St. Stephen's Gate and ending at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Christian Quarter is the Via Dolorosa, a path that follows the last footsteps of Jesus as he journeyed from his conviction at Antonia to his crucifixion on Golgotha, now contained within the walls of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The Via Dolorosa remains one of the most popular Jerusalem tours among Christian pilgrims. Who says you need to walk everywhere? New on the Jerusalem touring scene are Segway tours. You can take a tour through the neighborhood of Armon HaNatziv and see beautiful views of the Old City, Dead Sea and more. There’s also an option of a Segway tour of Jerusalem’s green spaces

Excursions in Jerusalem from local guides

The study of the religious capital of world can take years. Excurzilla recommends using the services of an experienced guide who will be able to introduce you to the "eternal city" in a few days.

The main thing that attracts visitors to Jerusalem is located behind its ancient walls. This is centuries-old the Old City, observation excursion of which covers the most sacred (and not only for Christians) places:

• Western Wall, full of letters from religious to the Almighty God (with the help of a personal guide, you can explore its underground tunnels);
• Church of the Holy Sepulchre - final resting place of the Son of God on earth and source of ashes used to create Adam;
• Temple Mount, where pilgrims believe the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven.

An English-language excursion to Israel Museum will introduce you to masterpieces of world art and antiquities. This largest cultural institution in country contains about 500,000 artifacts, including the legendary Dead sea scrolls, a collection of 972 texts written between the ages of 150 and 70 BC.

Another attraction for tourists is Mount of Olives, which rises opposite the Old City. For more than 3,000 years, it served as the main burial site in Jerusalem and final abode of prominent biblical figures. During the excursion you will find several notable religious sites on the slopes of this mountain:

• Dome of the Ascension, which preserves the last trace left by Jesus on earth;
• Garden of Gethsemane - place of Christ's prayer before the crucifixion (you will also find here olive trees that are about 1000 years old).

The highlight in City of David is Hezekiah's Tunnel. Biblically, it was the main source of water in ancient Jerusalem. Today's tourists have the opportunity to walk along the historical waterway.

Mahane Yehuda will allow you to explore the modern life of Israel. At this active market, you can buy everything from aromatic spices to unique souvenirs at an affordable price.

If you have time, take a day trip to the Dead Sea. Many believe in curative power of sea. Although this has not yet been proven by science, many tourists will tell you that the local sea mud and water have a beneficial effect on the skin.

The tour starts with a visit to the Mount of Olives where Jesus is said to have ascended to heaven. You then descend into the Garden of Gethsemane where it believed Jesus prayed frequently. It was here that he realized he will be betrayed.

Other points of interest in Jerusalem include the Via Dolorosa, Temple Mount, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the famous ‘Dome of the Rock’ on the Islamic Shrine. Our tour then continues to Bethlehem where you will visit the Church of the Nativity and Manger Square to experience the birthplace of Jesus.

This tour is designed to provide you with the most eye-catching views of Jerusalem and to learn about the fascinating history of the city. You will also learn about the tepid relationship between the Arabs and the Jews.

Lunch is included in the tour, after which you will have a little free time to browse the souvenir shops around Bethlehem.

Experiences for just you and a few

Greece’s soul is warm and relaxed, so that’s exactly what our authentic experiences capture. They are small group excursions that invite you to linger longer.

We set aside a limited number of spaces so that you get a more personalised experience. It does mean that you need to book quickly to secure your space. Remember to reserve your spot at least two weeks before you sail.

Foodie Heaven

When just a taste won't do, our authentic excursions let you indulge. We take you off the tourist trail and to the local producers, where you explore the islands through your senses. Thyme infused honey? Give it a try. Silky custard pie? Go on then. The crispiest white wine from Santorini's oldest winery. It would be rude not to! Savour the flavours and honour the people who keep Greece the wholesome place it is to this day.

Culture Vulture

Greek islands are alive with colour, smells, sights and sounds. As we weave through hidden cobbled streets and alleys, the sensory experiences will only become more intense. Feel history between your fingertips as you mimic ancient craftsmanship. Listen to the music and slower pace of life high up in the hills. See how the experiences move you.

Seeking adventure

Venture off the well-trodden path and you'll soon need equipment to help you explore. Thankfully, us Greeks don't see that as a problem. Get kitted out with paddles, a snorkel mask, or hiking boots and you can unearth nature's own stories. It will be just you and the purest blue waters, the wildflowers, and the ocean breeze.

Wonders of archaeology

Every step you take through ancient ruins gets you closer to what life was once like. But imagine what you'd learn if you were able to dig beneath the surface? That's what our archaeologists are here to do. See the ancient sites through their eyes and learn about the true culture of the people who called them home thousands of years ago.

Jerusalem tours.

The 10 Best Jerusalem Tours

Walking tour in jerusalem.

Jerusalem is a city best appreciated on foot. By walking through the ancient streets, you'll feel more connected to the history of this iconic and holy destination. On these popular Jerusalem tours, you'll be accompanied by an expert local who will take you to all the best places.

Many excursions concentrate on Old Jerusalem , which is where you'll find many of the famous landmarks. Popular stops include the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Western Wall and the room where the Last Supper was allegedly held. 

For a fully rounded picture of the city, opt for an excursion that also takes in New Jerusalem . Here, you'll discover Yad Vashem and the Holocaust History Museum which honors the memory of Jews persecuted through the centuries. 

Free walking tours are a fun way to explore if you're keeping an eye on your spending. There's no official charge – you just tip the guide what you feel the experience was worth at the end of the tour.

Historic Jerusalem City Tour

Jerusalem is probably the holiest place in the world, and with an accolade like that comes a whole lot of heritage. To get to know the real city, signing up for one of these historic Jerusalem city tours is a must.

The Christian Quarter is a great place to start. This is where you'll find the famous Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which marks the site of Jesus' crucifixion. You'll also see the Western Wall, the Jaffa Gate and the Citadel of the Tower of David.

Meanwhile, up on the Mount of Olives , you'll enjoy sweeping views of the old city. This area has been used as a Jewish burial site for thousands of years, so it has important religious significance. 

Another site of note is the Dome of the Rock . This Islamic shrine lies at the heart of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and is the oldest Muslim monument in the world. The rock beneath the dome is said to be where the Prophet Muhammad had his encounter with God. 

Dead Sea Day Trip from Jerusalem

You'll find the Dead Sea between Jordan and Israel – it's easily accessed from Bethlehem and is a popular destination for day tours. Renowned for their healing properties, the waters here are famed around the world. The high salinity levels in the Dead Sea make floating an effortless pastime.

The sea is 100 kilometers from Jerusalem, so additional stops are usually made to break up the journey. First up is Masada National Park where you'll see the sunrise over the desert plains. There are archaeological ruins to explore here too, with sweeping plateau views to enjoy.

Then you'll head to Ein Gedi in the Judean Desert. This idyllic oasis is home to a network of walking trails that take you to see stunning waterfalls that quench the thirst of the land. Keep an eye out for the birds of prey that often soar overhead.

The jewel in the crown is of course the Dead Sea itself. Here, you can indulge in a relaxing soak and float, rejuvenating your body after a busy day out.

Bethlehem Tour from Jerusalem

Did you know that you can go and visit the birthplace of Jesus? Bethlehem is one of the most famous locations in the Bible, and this is your chance to see it in real life! 

The subject of many popular Christmas carols, the little town of Bethlehem looks like a scene straight out of the holy book. On these Jerusalem tours you'll be exploring ancient and religious landmarks, following in the footsteps of Mary, Joseph and Jesus himself. 

Built on the site of the stable where Jesus was born, the Church of the Nativity is the main draw. You'll also visit the holy place where Mary encountered the Angel Gabriel. The Chapel of Saint Catherine, Manger Square and the Milk Grotto are next up – all have solid Christian roots. 

Bethlehem is located just 20 minutes from Jerusalem, which makes it a great destination for a day trip. Some tours add stops at the Dead Sea, Jericho and the Jordan River for a bit of a contrast.

Jericho Trip from Jerusalem

The historic city of Jericho is another gem from the Bible and is packed with ancient monuments – some date back thousands of years. Popular with historians and religious travelers, Jericho is just a short distance from Jerusalem. 

Jericho's most famous Biblical claim to fame is its ancient battlefield. The city is alleged to be the site where the Philistines and Israelites came to blows, with the latter emerging victorious. A far more peaceful place today, you can still feel the weight of history beneath your feet as you wander the modern-day settlement. 

A highlight of your visit will be Zacchaeus' Tree. Legend has it that a tax collector once climbed this revered sycamore to watch Jesus passing by. Whether you believe this or not, the tree is still one of the oldest in the world. 

You'll also see the Tell es-Sultan archaeological site, which provides a unique insight into Jericho's 11,000 years of history. These day trips also take in famous places like the Jordan River and the Dead Sea.

Day Trip to Nazareth from Jerusalem

Another popular Biblical location is the city of Nazareth. Established way back in 2,000 B.C., this ancient settlement is one of the oldest on Earth. It's a culturally diverse place, with Jewish, Christian and Muslim sites of interest to explore.

As you stroll down the atmospheric streets of Nazareth, you'll feel like you've traveled back in time. The historical architecture has changed little over the centuries and makes for great vacation photos. 

Top sights on your itinerary include the Church of the Annunciation and St. Joseph's Church – many of the attractions here are steeped in religion. If you're interested in learning about the roots of Christianity, this is the place to come. 

These Jerusalem tours often take in the Sea of Galilee too. This is the lowest freshwater lake in the world and is a popular stopping point on pilgrimages. A final treat is the city of Tiberias where the waterfront and the Mount of Beatitudes are picturesque vantage points for viewing the famous sea.

Caesarea Excursion from Jerusalem

Caesarea was one of the greatest Roman capitals in the world. Abundant ruins and a landscape steeped in legacy gives visitors a unique glimpse into the ancient past. The port city sits on the Mediterranean coast of Israel and was formerly an important Christian site. 

Once conquered by King Richard the Lionheart and his crusaders, the Caesarea of today boasts a fascinating array of Christian and Muslim archaeological sites. Pontius Pilate ruled here during the time of Jesus, so Biblical influences are strong. 

Top attractions in Caesarea include King Herod's Palace and the enormous Roman amphitheater, which is one of the biggest on the planet. There are lots of temples and towers to explore too.

During your day trip to Caesarea, you'll also stop at the city of Haifa to see the beautiful garden terraces. A visit to the historic sites in the seaside resort of Acre is also on the agenda. Finish your trip with a flourish at Rosh Hanikra where dramatic cliffs will take your breath away. 

Jerusalem to West Bank Day Tour

The West Bank has long been a politically controversial tract of land, sitting at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Yet despite past tensions, it's still a popular area for culturally curious visitors from around the world. 

It's best to visit the region on one of the Jerusalem tours that are readily available from the city. You'll be in the safe hands of an expert local who will know exactly where to go and what to see. Bethlehem and Jericho are often included in the itinerary to make the most of your day out.

Across the West Bank, you'll come across dozens of historically important sites, including ancient monuments and religious landmarks. This is a place where you can feel the centuries beneath your feet. 

You'll focus on Ramallah, which is the unofficial capital of the region. Here, you'll explore the charming streets and see Yasser Arafat's tomb. Enjoy views across the Jordan River and visit Qasr al Yahud where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. 

Golan Heights Trip from Jerusalem

Golan Heights is a mountainous area beside the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel. It's about 200 kilometers from Jerusalem, so tours here usually incorporate other stops along the way. Nazareth and of course the sea itself are popular choices.

The area presents quite a contrast from the ancient cities and urban monuments. Here, you'll discover a land of rolling hills where nature rules supreme. The views out over the Sea of Galilee are breathtaking, and up on Mount Bental you'll have a great vantage point over the Kuneitra Valley.

Follow your guide along local hiking trails to get to know this rural region. You'll learn about the natural and human heritage of the plateau and discover why land ownership here has been so hotly contested over the centuries. 

There's plenty of history here too, with trenches and bunkers giving an insight into the past tensions between Israel and Syria. Ancient synagogues dot the landscape, while in the settlement of Katzrin you can visit the Golan Antiquities Museum.

Overnight Excursion to Petra

Once you've ticked off the main Jerusalem tours, why not treat yourself to an overnight adventure that takes place in another country? Neighboring Jordan is a treasure trove of archaeological gems, with the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Petra being the most famous.

Budding explorers can harness their inner Indiana Jones for escapades beyond their wildest dreams. Tucked away in a remote desert canyon in southern Jordan, the "Lost City" never fails to live up to expectations.

You'll get to see the Treasury carved into the cliff face as well as the Royal Tombs. Some trips go the extra mile and include a night under canvas in a traditional Bedouin camp. You'll eat around the campfire, listen to local folk tales and fall asleep beneath the starry night sky.

Other stops on the journey include Amman, where you'll stroll around the ancient citadel of Jordan's capital city. Here, the Umayyad Palace is a particular highlight. The towering Jerash Ruins are also on the cards – they give a glimpse of life in the Roman era.

Planning your visit to jerusalem, about jerusalem.

Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world, and a popular destination for travelers interested in religious heritage. Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities have lived here for centuries, creating a unique cultural and architectural environment beloved by historians. Even if you're not into religion, it's a beautiful place to visit. 

The city sits up on a plateau in Israel between the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean. Many people use Jerusalem as a base for exploring the wider region, with day trips to places like Bethlehem and Jericho being popular choices. You can even enjoy overnight adventures into Jordan from here if you fancy taking in favorites like Petra and Wadi Rum. 

When it comes to historical sites, the offerings in Jerusalem are second to none. This ancient settlement is an archaeologist's dream, and excavations are still ongoing in some parts of the city. Exploring with a guide will ensure you'll get the most out of your experience. 

The easiest way to reach Jerusalem from abroad is to fly into Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv . You'll then take a land transfer to your destination. Buses and private shuttles are available – the road trip takes around an hour.

Good to know before arriving

If it's your first visit to Jerusalem and you want to have the top sights on your doorstep, staying in the old town is recommended. Here, you'll be in the heart of history with a handful of family-run guest houses and hostels to choose from. Meanwhile, over in the city center, you'll find a greater range of boutique hotels, restaurants and bars. 

Jerusalem is an easy city to travel around, with many of the major attractions best accessed on foot. Walking around the compact old city is indeed one of the most enjoyable pastimes here. For longer journeys, taxis are readily available, and there's a bus and light rail service too. 

To respect local culture, it's advisable to wear modest clothing while visiting religious sites. The tops of your arms and legs should be covered so carry appropriate attire with you when exploring. 

Entry interviews at the airport will likely be far more stringent than what you're used to. Don't worry, this is common practice but be prepared to answer lots of questions about your trip. Instead of a passport stamp, you'll be issued a paper visa – keep this safe as you'll need it for onward travel. 

Places and experiences that cannot be missed

Walking tours of the historic center should be your first point of call when visiting Jerusalem. They are a great introduction to the city and will help you get your bearings. 

For something a bit different, you can book an Underground Jerusalem tour and see ongoing excavations in the city. Original mosaic floors, foundation walls and ancient synagogues are the highlights of these trips. 

Adrenaline junkies will love taking jeep tours into the Judean Desert where cliffside monasteries and sandy plains await. Food excursions are also on offer if you want to take things a bit slower.

Once you've ticked off all the Jerusalem tours and explored the surrounding area, consider taking an excursion to the Dead Sea, Bethlehem or Jericho. Day trips to Tel Aviv from Jerusalem are also available, with lots of museums and historic neighborhoods to discover. 

There are plenty of free things to do in Jerusalem if you're watching your spending – a trip to the city doesn't have to be expensive. You can stroll around the old city quarters, visit the Western Wall and head up Temple Mount without paying anything. Over in New Jerusalem, the Yad Vashem museum is also free to enter.
