We begin our Jerusalem Old City Tour with a panoramic view of the city from Mount Scopus, offering a breathtaking vantage point across Jerusalem’s skyline. From here, we can see beyond the Old City walls to the Temple Mount and its gleaming Dome of the Rock. As we descend the mount, we pass by the ancient Jewish cemetery and stop at the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed before his arrest, and the magnificent Church of All Nations. Nearby lies the Kidron Valley, home to monumental Jewish tombs that have stood for centuries. Continuing toward the Old City, we pass the Dormition Church on Mount Zion.
Our first visit inside the Old City is to the Room of the Last Supper, where Jesus shared his final meal with his Apostles. This Upper Room is located above the site traditionally believed to be King David’s Tomb. Entering through the Zion Gate, we step into the Armenian Quarter and pass by the Armenian Church of St. James. Your guide will share insights about the rich history and culture of the Armenian community before we continue to the Jewish Quarter, where we pause at the ancient Byzantine Cardo - a beautifully excavated 1,500-year-old street that once served as Jerusalem’s main thoroughfare.
Next, we visit the Western Wall, the last remaining section of the Second Jewish Temple and the holiest site in Judaism. Here, we join visitors who place prayer notes in the crevices of the ancient stones. From there, we follow the path of Jesus along the Via Dolorosa, retracing his final steps toward Calvary.
Our journey leads us to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a magnificent 4th-century church that encompasses the last Stations of the Cross, including the site of the crucifixion and Jesus’ burial tomb. Shared by several Christian denominations, the church houses over 30 chapels, each rich with history and devotion.
We conclude the tour with time to explore the Old City bazaar, a lively marketplace brimming with colors, aromas, and authentic local crafts - the perfect way to end your day in Jerusalem.
* On Mondays and Thursdays (except during Jewish holidays), the tour includes a visit to the Holocaust Museum instead of the Church of All Nations at the Garden of Gethsemane, King David’s Tomb, and the Hall of the Last Supper on Mount Zion.
