Guided coach tour · Pickup in Jerusalem
A guide takes you from the Mount Scopus viewpoint through the Old City to the Western Wall, the Via Dolorosa and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It does not go to the Dead Sea; book it for the day before or after your trip.
This is a Jerusalem day, not a Dead Sea trip, and that is the point. The listing includes entry fees, a professional guide, an air-conditioned coach and pickup and drop-off. Food, drinks and tips are extra. Pair it with a Dead Sea day such as the Masada and Dead Sea tour and you have seen both sides of a visit.
The day starts with the view from Mount Scopus. You enter the Old City through Zion Gate into the Armenian Quarter, walk the Byzantine Cardo in the Jewish Quarter and stop at the Western Wall. Then you follow the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, cross the bazaar and finish at the Garden of Gethsemane, the Church of All Nations, the Kidron Valley and Mount Zion. On Mondays and Thursdays, outside Jewish holidays, the tour visits Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum, instead of the Mount Zion sites and the Church of All Nations.
The listing has 4.1 stars from 385 reviews, with 4.6 for the guide. Modest dress is required at the holy sites. Children under 10 are not allowed into Yad Vashem, and the tour is not suitable for children under 4 or wheelchair users. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
