Things to do in Jerusalem, Jerusalem District: The Best Bus Tours

February 22, 2022 Roger Rusk

Religious pilgrims have been traveling to Jerusalem for centuries, yet you don’t have to share their zeal in order to appreciate this city’s profound cultural and historical significance. Plan on seeing the major sights, but also leave plenty of time to walk through the streets and simply immerse yourself in the daily life of such an ancient and revered place.

Leave Tel Aviv and explore the holy city with your own driver-guide. Enjoy the view of the Old City of Jerusalem from Mount Olives and after, descend to the Church of Agony and the Garden of Gethsemane. Enter the Old City through the Dung Gate and stop at the Western Wall (Kotel). Continue on the streets of the Old City to the Crusader Church of St. Anne and see the remains of the pools of Bethesda. Afterwards, follow the Stations of the Cross through the Via Dolorosa, ending at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Wander in the market alleys and along the main Byzantine Cardo, exit the Old City through the Zion Gate. Visit the site of the Tomb of King David and the Room of the Last Supper on Mt. Zion. If time permits, end the day with a visit the Church of Peter Gallicantu, the church where Jesus was held prisoner and where Peter heard the cock crow as he denied knowing Jesus as well as the Garden Tomb. Return back to your hotel.

The day tour to Jerusalem and Bethlehem was very interesting. The group was quite small and we got a great overview of the history and tensions between Israel and Palestine. Amir Call Or was a great guide. I would book a tour with him again anytime. For the Bethlehem part and we also had a local guide who arranged for us to visit the tomb of Jesus without waiting in line. I highly recommend Bein Harim Tourism Services.

This review is a bit delayed (sorry!) but this tour was great. Lots of fun and the pace was good. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed all the stories they told. In the morning we had Moses. Then in the afternoon there was a local guide from Bethlehem called Boaz (the teacher)... he's an archeologist. Both of them were wonderful.

Amazing!! Elias was a very good and nice tour guide. Me and my two friends went on the tour in early 2021 while the country was still closed to tourists. Even though it was just a small group of 3 of us, Elias still arranged all of the transportation to/from Bethlehem and gave us the tour despite it not being enough for him to make a real profit. He was super accommodating and gave us snacks, and little souvenirs. The tour was very interesting and informative. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to tour Bethlehem.

This was our second day in Israel touring with our guide, Mickey. It was a excellent full day tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem with Guided Tours Israel. As she did on the previous day's tour to Galilee, Mickey did a wonderful job of giving us the history of each place that we visited and moving us from place to place so that we didn't miss any of the important sites. It was a very rainy day but we were still able to see and do everything as planned. I highly recommend Guided Tours Israel not only for the great tour that they planned for us, but for the price and communication before the tour that made the day go very well.
