I have always had an interest in old or ancient cities I’ve seen Egypt, Jordan and from there Jerusalem. All of these places are so rich in culture that you fall in love with them as soon as you land and if you’re like me your camera doesn’t stop clicking.

When I started researching I realized how much there was to see in the week I has so I found loads of tour groups with English speaking guides and jumped at the chance to see some of the amazing sites on offer. The Jerusalem tours didn’t disappoint and through the brilliant guides I learned more of the history than I would have by myself.

Anyone that wants to go to Jerusalem should book one of these Jerusalem tours to get the most out of there trip, it’s a waste if you don’t. I was able to see the old city go and go on a pilgrimage tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem. These memories of my Jerusalem tours are priceless.
