Great tour guide who did an excellent job! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour! And I’d recommend to anyone who can walk and stand for 8 hours!

A fascinating underground walk where you walk where 1st century pilgrims walked. Currently it only goes at 2 pm and lasts 1 1/2 hours. Much of the time is above ground or in an archeological site, but you get about a 15-20 minute trip in a skinny, low underground tunnel and you get to see the foundations stones of the retaining wall for the temple mount below street level. You don't walk on the wide stone steps where they are still excavating. Those you can only walk a short distance and then it is blocked. This tour starts about 1/2 way between the Pool of Siloam and the southern wall of the temple mount and then ascends up to the southern wall. You end up coming out in the Davidson archeological park near the south west corner of the temple mount down on street level.

Daniel was an excellent tour guide and provided comprehensive information on each site visited. In addition, he was able to answer every question directed to him. I would certainly recommend him as a tour guide to anything in Jerusalem.

The Jerusalem City of David Tour is a full-day tour comprised of a small group of five tourists. Our tour guide Mr. Danny Maor from Bein Harim Tourism Services brought the City of David to life through his comprehensive understanding of the multiple facets of cultures and civilizations that have predominated in succession in that world-famous location. Knowledgeable about the various periods and customs he led us literally step by step through the eras so that we could follow the sequences of conquerors and cultures. The pace was appropriate and the amount of walking thought considerable was not strenuous. For the time of the tour the price was appropriate. As a Jew, the tour was most compelling of course when we’re taken to the “kotel” and allowed to make our own spiritual moment with the continuity of generations. I recommend this tour for those with a love of history, archeology, and the myriad cultures of Israel and Palestine.
