Our Judaism based Jerusalem tour is a day trip in the old city; exploring Jerusalem as the spiritual home of Jews throughout the ages.

We enter Jerusalem at Zions gate iand tour the Armenian quarter where walk to the nearby Jewish quarter. Here we first visit Jerusalem's famous ‘Burnt House', the remains of a home that dates back to the great rebellion against Rome. The ruins contain many household artifacts and include chillingly, the remains of a woman's arm beside a Roman spear.
We reach the Western Wall (Kotel) where we take time to pray before beginning our tour of the Western Wall tunnels; the ongoing archeological excavations give us a remarkable insight into the Kotel and the nearby Temple Mount. We tour the Western Wall tunnels for approx one hour, then continue our Jerusalem tour over the Temple Mount where we see Jerusalem's famous landmark the Dome Of the Rock. We stroll through both the Moslem and Christian quarters passing the Lion's gate, the pools of Bethesda, and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Our tour through Jerusalems old city takes us to The Citadel of Jerusalem – King David's tower, located right beside the Jaffa Gate. Within the Citadel is a museum, we tour the citadel before continuing our tour back through Zions gate. We end our tour of Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives  and take in the sunset over the city.
