7 Awesome Jerusalem Tours Definitely Worth the Money

Jerusalem is by far my favorite city in the whole world. I spent 4 months studying in and exploring Jerusalem so I’d say I have the experience to confidently say that. You know when people tell you to ‘picture your happy place’ I set myself on the Mt. of Olives with sweeping views of the Old City of Jerusalem while listening to the sounds of the Muslim call to prayer echoing over the city’s many minarets. That’s how much I love this city.

What makes Jerusalem so amazing is the immense amount of culture you can take in all within one city. Three main world religions (Islam, Judaism, and Christianity) all view Jerusalem as a holy and important city with areas and sites dedicated to each group. And no matter your religious views, or lack thereof, it is fascinating to witness these three cultures intersecting within one area. And what better way to do this than on one of these Jerusalem tours!

I have since returned to Jerusalem with my husband so he could have some of the same amazing experiences I had while exploring the city. As I guided him through the bustling streets of Jerusalem and crowded walkways of the Old City he said to me over and over, ‘This is so crazy that you know your way around Jerusalem without a map.” And I totally agree, it’s crazy to know a city like Jerusalem well enough to be able to navigate from memory.

Why Book a Walking or Guided Tour in Jerusalem?

Even though I had 4 months of experience living in Jerusalem, and could so confidently create an itinerary and navigate my husband and myself through the city, there were still certain experiences that I chose to book a tour for during our travels.

Jerusalem (especially the Old City) can be a little overwhelming. There are so many different cultures/religions colliding that it almost feels like you need to learn how to navigate multiple new countries but all within walking distance of each other 😅.

Besides touring the city and the Old City of Jerusalem itself, there are quite a few amazing sites to see in the surrounding area. For example, did you know Bethlehem is only a few miles away from Jerusalem? Or that you can float in the Dead Sea just an hour away?

The thing is, these places can be a little tricky to get to because you’d either need to rent a car and navigate military checkpoints along the way or figure out a potentially confusing and inconvenient public transit system.

So, because of these reasons, we decided to book a few tours in and from Jerusalem to make the most of our time in this amazing place. We paid ourselves for these tours and I am convinced we found the best Jerusalem guided tours.

So now, after 4 months of living experience and countless hours of research upon our return, I’m here to give you my recommendations for the best Jerusalem tours to book to make your time in Jerusalem amazing and as carefree as possible.

Which Company is the Best to Book Tours in Jerusalem With?

Before my husband and I traveled back to Jerusalem and the surrounding areas, I spent HOURS researching to find the best tour company in Jerusalem. I wanted to find reliable, engaging, and affordable groups to join. I kid you not, I wouldn’t be surprised if I spent over 100 hours looking just at different Jerusalem tour packages, different walking tours in Jerusalem, and the best way to complete day trips from Jerusalem.

And after booking and completing multiple tours with Abraham Tours , I am convinced I found the best group to take tours within the Holy Land. They have so many tour options to choose from! Plus I feel like the prices are very reasonable where you couldn’t do it much less expensive on your own. And you can even search by departure location of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Nazareth, or Eilat.

Abraham Tours is a tour group connected with Abraham Hostels, however, you don’t need to be staying at the hostels to participate. Personally, I’m not a hostel person so we stayed at an Airbnb in West Jerusalem but still participated in multiple Abraham Tours. I would say that the vast majority of all our tour groups were staying at other places than the hostel.

And if you are thinking that these tours will only be filled with single 20-year-olds, don’t worry! Our groups had a great mixture of different types of people. There were solo travelers, couples, families with teenagers, LGBTQ, and retirees. So basically, no matter your travel situation, you can feel comfortable on an Abraham Tour !

Quick Guide to the Best Tours to Book in Jerusalem

Walking tours in jerusalem:, 1. holy city tour jerusalem (old city).

Since I lived in Jerusalem for 4 months prior to my return with my husband, I definitely knew my way around the Old City. I had ventured countless times through the streets and alleyways, so much so that I felt very confident in being able to be my husband’s tour guide during that portion of our trip.

Because of my experience, we didn’t opt for a Jerusalem Old City tour , however, I definitely recommend it for someone who has never been before. Having a local Jerusalem tour guide will enhance your experience SO much.

This Holy City Tour is a guided half-day walking tour that covers the amazing religious sites of the three main religions represented (Islam, Judaism and Christianity) in the Old City of Jerusalem.

You’ll enter the temple mount and see the Islamic mosque ‘Dome of the Rock’ (which is literally one of my favorite buildings in the whole world… I mean those blue, green and yellow tiles 😍). The temple mount has very specific opening hours that can easily be missed if you don’t pay attention correctly. That is one reason it is great to visit on this tour .

*The temple mount is always closed on Fridays and Saturdays. If you book the tour on a Friday or a Saturday you will visit a site with an overlook of the Dome of the Rock rather than getting up close. I recommend making sure you book on a day other than those two days to ensure you get to get up close and personal with the gorgeous Dome of the Rock.

Also on this tour , you’ll visit the Western Wall (sometimes known as the Wailing Wall-but its name is actually the Western Wall). This is the last remaining wall from thousands of years ago that surrounded the Jewish temple and is now a holy site/outdoor synagogue. Here you will get to observe many faithful Jews praying and reading scripture along the wall.

Plus you will visit holy Christian sites like the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Via Dolorosa (the path of Christ and the cross). A benefit of a guided tour to all of these different sites is that you will definitely gain a better understanding of the significance of Jerusalem and why this area is called the ‘Holy Land’ to so many different faiths. Plus you’ll get help navigating the sometimes confusing and crowded paths and alleys of the Old City (a big plus in my opinion).

2. Mount of Olives Tour

This Mount of Olives tour covers an area that can be easily overlooked in Jerusalem but it has some great things to see. Just to the east of the old city is the Mount of Olives (which is actually where my university was located during my time in Jerusalem). The best part about visiting the Mount of Olives is that you get some awesome views of Jerusalem.

The view from up there overlooking the bright blue, yellow, and green tiles of the Dome of the Rock and the blue and green domes of ancient churches is just amazing. And to top it all off, you may be up there while the Islam Call to Prayer is echoing over the city, it is just seriously the best. But that’s coming from me- I’m a total sucker for a good view.

Plus you’ll get to get up close and personal with beautiful, ancient olive trees and visit important sites. My favorite places visited on this tour are the Garden of Gethsemane and the huge Jewish cemetery on the hillside.

3. Meet the Ultra-Orthodox Jews Tour

If you are looking for one of THE most interesting and unique tours in Jerusalem, you for sure need to check out this ‘ Meet the Ultra-Orthodox Jews Tour ‘. To me, one of the best things about visiting Jerusalem is getting to see how different devout people practice their religions.

You’ll the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem which is home to Ultra-Orthodox Jews. It is like stepping into another world/time. Almost everything feels different in this neighborhood like the religious clothing worn, the incredibly high modesty required, and the behavior of the Ultra-Orthodox community.

Obviously, people living their life shouldn’t be a tourist attraction. That’s why I appreciate that this tour is led by a member of the local Ultra-Orthodox Community who gives great information and insights about the local community.

If you are interested in visiting the Mea Shearim neighborhood , I definitely recommend booking this ‘Meet the Ultra-Orthodox Jews Tour’ . If you want to visit the area on your own, be sure to wear extra-modest clothing (long sleeves and pants) and don’t try to drive through the neighborhood on Shabbat (sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday) because they do not drive on the sabbath.

Day Trips from Jerusalem:

4. bethlehem tour.

I feel like you can’t travel all the way to Jerusalem and then not visit Bethlehem. Did you know that Bethlehem is only a short 15-20 minute drive from Jerusalem? However, a slightly tricky thing about visiting Bethlehem is that it is located in the West Bank on the other side of the separation wall (which is a different discussion for a different time).

But this means you will go through a security checkpoint to enter Bethlehem and will need your passport on you. Taxis are unable to cross into Bethlehem but there are some buses that are available. Personally, I didn’t want the stress of figuring out the best way to cross into the West Bank, so this Bethlehem tour from Jerusalem was totally perfect for us. Abraham Tours even makes sure to employ a local Bethlehem tour guide to ensure tourism money is still going into the city.

We met up at the desk of the Abraham Hostel which happened to be the meeting point for this Bethlehem tour , boarded a van with other group members, and made the quick drive to Bethlehem and met up with our local tour guide.

We walked through Bethlehem and learned a little bit about the history of the city and the negative effects on the city since the separation wall was built. Then we visited the Church of the Nativity which is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the spot where it’s believed that Jesus Christ was born. Obviously, the church wasn’t there at the time of Christ 😅, but it was built in about 500 AD around the supposed site of the birth of Christ.

We also visited the Milk Grotto (a Catholic church in Bethlehem), a couple of shops where you can purchase beautiful olive wood nativity sets and other trinkets, and a shepherd field overlook.

I personally liked walking around the city of Bethlehem and being in the same general areas Christ may have been more than the specific holy sites we visited in Bethlehem. But I still think they are worthwhile to visit to have your own experience.

Our tour guide let us make a quick stop at a Banksy graffiti piece on the separation wall (I think someone in our group asked about it). The itinerary does not include any Banksy stops- but if you ask nicely maybe your tour guide will make a quick stop for you also :). There are multiple Bansky pieces in Bethlehem all of which are very thought-provoking.

5. Dead Sea, Masada & Ein Gedi Tour

In my opinion, the Dead Sea, Masada & Ein Gedi tour is one of the best day tours from Jerusalem you can take. This specific tour is interesting because it includes 3 great destinations all located just over an hour away from Jerusalem. The Dead Sea (think water so salty you can float in it and mineral-rich mud you can cover yourself in), Masada (think 2,000-year-old, giant, hilltop fortress), and Ein Gedi (think lovely nature walk to an oasis in the desert).

This is a ‘self-guided’ tour where the entrance price to Masada and Ein Gedi are not included. Basically, this means it is a shuttle that will take you to these three destinations and provide you with some audio tours (if you want). This may sound kind of basic, but for me, this was an amazing option to be able to not have to think about how to get to the Dead Sea on public transit.

I have a friend who was visiting Jerusalem and she tried to take the bus to Masada and then the Dead Sea. Because of their tight schedule and their confusion about the bus stops, they, unfortunately, got off at the wrong Dead Sea stop and then had to take the next bus back to Jerusalem because they ran out of time.

I so did not want that to happen to us and really wanted to enjoy the day without thinking much. And I’m so glad we booked this experience ! It made the day super smooth and fun.

We started out with some time at Ein Gedi (and saw some adorable little critters along the trail called a Rock Hyrax). The walk is easy and ends at a waterfall and pool of water.

Then we went to Masada and rode the cable car to the top of the mountain. There are some awesome views of the Moab Mountains and the Dead Sea, not to mention the tons of ancient ruins atop the mountain to see. They even offer a Masada sunrise tour if that is something you are interested in!

Then we ended the day hanging out at the beach of the Dead Sea aka the lowest point on earth! Be sure to bring your swimsuit to float in the water. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You can roll all around in the water and not sink.

You can even pick up some Dead Sea salt to take home as a souvenir to think of your trip every time you cook (that’s what we did 🥰). Also, maybe don’t plan on shaving the morning you visit because the salt can really sting recently shaved areas 😬.

If you are short on time or are only interested in visiting the Dead Sea, no worries, they also offer a one-stop Dead Sea tour .

Jerusalem to Jordan Tours:

6. 2-day jerusalem to petra tour.

Okay, okay, okay I know, you are in the midst of planning a trip to Jerusalem, not Jordan. However, I think you should heavily consider adding this 2-day Jerusalem to Petra tour to your itinerary. The country of Jordan neighbors Jerusalem to the east and has some amazing sites that you can easily fit into a quick 2-day road trip from Jerusalem. The drive from Amman to Jerusalem is only 1 hour and 50 minutes!

Once again, I had already visited Jordan when I was studying in Jerusalem. However, once my husband realized we could visit Petra on this trip which is not only one of the 7 New Wonders of the World but also a filming location of Indiana Jones he was sold on us visiting.

And even though I’d already been, I was still logistically lost on how we would do it. Because on my prior visit, I was not responsible for any planning or logistics. Thankfully, I found this amazing 2-day Petra tour from Jerusalem and I’m so glad we participated in it!

How can you not add one more night to your itinerary to get to see the country of Jordan? It’s so close! Plus, if you do have more time, they also have a 3-day tour option or an 8-day Israel/Jordan tour option. (Spoiler alert-the 3-day tour option includes Petra PLUS a desert Jeep tour).

One con I’ll admit is that I would have enjoyed more time in Petra. We had to move pretty quickly to see the things we wanted to see within our allotted time frame. However, the ease of transportation, an awesome local Jordanian tour guide, the extra sites we saw in Jordan, and the super unique experience of staying overnight in the desert at a Bedouin camp totally made booking the 2-day tour to Jordan from Jerusalem it all worth it.

However, if you do want more time than we had in Petra, just book the 3-day tour to Jordan from Jerusalem instead (problem solved!). Plus you’ll get to visit Wadi Rum and experience a Jeep tour through the desert!

Jerusalem Tour From Tel Aviv:

7. jerusalem day tour from tel aviv.

If you are staying in Tel Aviv but are interested in seeing Jerusalem, this is the tour for you! The ‘Jerusalem Day Tour from Tel Aviv’ includes all of the major highlights of Jerusalem that anyone needs to see. Like visiting the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and visiting an overlook of the Dome of the Rock.

Plus you get to see one of Jerusalem’s hidden gems, the Mehane Yehuda Market which is full of delicious baked goods, produce spices, and more. Mahane Yehuda market is located outside of the Old City which means you will be surrounded by many locals shopping rather than only tourists.

If you are planning a trip to Tel Aviv, I definitely recommend making time in your itinerary to take a day trip to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. And this Tel Aviv tour to Jerusalem is my top pick for that.

These two cities are only about one hour apart but are so different and unique that you need to see both. This Jerusalem tour from Tel Aviv is the perfect way to experience Jerusalem during your travels to Tel Aviv.

And those are the guided tours to Jerusalem that I recommend (and the surrounding areas)! Please  let me know  if you have any questions in the comments below. I really did love my experience with Abraham Tours (which btw did I mention I paid for all of those tours myself-they weren’t a collaboration). Book one- if not all of these tours now- like, right now! You won’t regret it.

Hi there Jenessa! We are taking a mediterranean cruise that stops in Jerusalem, (Ashdod) and in Tel Aviv (Haifa) do you know if any of these tours with Abraham tours are available to cruisers? Or how would a traveler get to a meeting point from the cruise port? Thanks in advance! Tara

Hey Tara, sounds fun! To take a tour with Abraham Hostels you’ll need to get to the meeting point which is the Abraham Hostel in Tel Aviv (or Jerusalem, but I think the Tel Aviv one may be easier to get to). Here is a good article on another site that give directions for either a taxi or a bus line from Ashdod Port to Tel Aviv. Good luck!

Jerusalem is a veteran of no less than three millennia; a city that bears all the adornments, iconic architecture, battle scars and multicultural cosmopolitanism that have come and gone like great tides in this section of the world. Today it stands as the religious heartland of the world’s best-known monotheistic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), and it’s possible to cover more holy centres with your Jerusalem tour guide here in just a day’s walk than perhaps in any other metropolis on earth. Of these the world-famous Western Wall, the Garden Tomb (the supposed place of Jesus’ resurrection), the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Golgotha site at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (where Jesus is said to have been crucified) are the absolute ‘must sees’, and first-time visitors would be wise to set at least a few days aside. But it’s not all churches, mosques and temples, within the ancient sandstone walls of Jerusalem all the authentic features of a truly old city still live on; from the hubbub of Arabic bazaars, to the sprawling capital buildings of the modern Israeli state.
