A VIP, tailor-made tour of old Jerusalem and its surroundings
Jerusalem — a tiny grain on the map that has touched the whole world. The birthplace of Western monotheism and home to endless peoples, beliefs and stories.
You are invited to a deep and enchanting encounter with Jerusalem’s sources of holiness to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We will explore the beliefs and traditions, customs and ceremonies unique to the countless variety of groups living just a hairsbreadth away from each other.
Each tour is tailored to the guests and their desires.
These are some of the main sites suggested for the tour:
Starting at the Jaffa Gate, we’ll visit the central sites sacred to the three major religions: the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Jewish Quarter and the Western Wall, Via Dolorosa and a possible visit to Mt. Zion — site of the Last Supper and David’s Tomb. We will walk through the alleyways and the colorful markets, overlook and possibly visit the Temple Mount and see other surprising places.
Each tour is custom tailored to the group and may include off the beaten track sites such as unique rooftops, special hidden corners in the markets and more, depending on the length of the tour and the wishes of the group.

“THANK YOU – an unbelievable day in my life…
Tamar, this is Jim Smith, from your small private tour on Saturday. I felt compelled to email you and THANK YOU…SO MUCH for possibly the most unbelievable, informational, enjoyable, educational, emotionally moving day of my life. I cannot believe what you covered, showed, and toured us through in six hours — I wish we could have gone on for the rest of the day. What history in such a small section of ground, one that addresses so many cultures, beliefs, and religions.
We have traveled a lot with our two children, who are now both in college. We have always sourced private guides, versus large tours groups. As I compare you to those of the past, you are at the top of my list. I hope to return to Israel with my wife and kids, so look for a call from me. Thanks for my special day…so appreciated, Jim Smith”
