La guida turistica della città vecchia ha un compito difficile

La vecchia Gerusalemme è molto frequentata, principalmente con grandi tour di gruppo. La nostra guida, Uda Levy si è presa cura di noi e è riuscita a farci vedere tutto ciò che volevamo, anche se a volte brevemente a causa della folla. Levy era aperto a tutte le domande e forniva risposte dettagliate. Questo tour per piccoli gruppi era per un totale di 13 persone ed è stato gestito da un comodo Van di lusso che ci ha portato in aree (parcheggio) che gli autobus non potevano raggiungere. Ciò ha reso alcune aree del Tour meno facili da percorrere. La visita alla primavera di Maria (sabato) è stata meravigliosa e in un ambiente rurale nella valle sotto il Museo dell'Olocausto che merita una visita (giorni diversi da Sabbat)

This was an excellent tour of Jerusalem highlights with an expert guide. Our small group of 12 covered a lot of the must-sees in a rather short time; Church of the Holy Sepulcher, King David’s tomb, room of the last supper, the old city, the via Dolorosa, and the western wall. I really enjoyed that we had a small group; Ofir was a well organized & highly knowledgeable guide and driver. To start, 1/2 of the group went to Bethlehem, & 1/2 went to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum. Yad Vashem is absolutely worth a visit. We began the walking tour in the old city, exploring all 4 quarters & the important sites. At the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the lines were very short & everyone could visit Christ’s tomb. Lunch was a disappointment; options were a falafel pita/chicken pita, for 50 shekels! Go off for lunch on your own rather than w/the group. We were all annoyed! The tour continued down the Via Dolorosa & ended at the wailing wall, which was a moving & poignant way to end the day.

Guide was very well known. She would even be recognized by a lot of the tour guides along the way whom she either worked or trained before. She really is a very experienced guide and has a lot of stories but best part about her is that she doesn't tell them in a way that it feels like your in a class and it gets boring. She tells the important details and some extra info and gives you enough time to be on your own and have the experience of being in the Holy Land not just to take pictures but to just to enjoy the city of peace. She treats everyone like adults which I like and not baby anyone, and gives direct and simple instructions as to where to meet up after.
