Jerusalem Tour Guide Differences and Styles

Your tour guide in Jerusalem may be the most important factor in your tour in Jerusalem.

It is true that anyone who has completed a course as a tour guide can be authorized to be a tour guide in Israel. Jerusalem is a very significant part of this training, and for a good reason.

Why does it matter so much who will be your Jerusalem tour guide?

As already mentioned, every tour guide in Israel should know how to guide tours of Jerusalem, Yet today there is a clear distinction between the guides who specialize in Jerusalem and tour guides who know how to guide in the city but whose main specialty is elsewhere.

The difference can only be truly understood after a tour with a guide who specializes in Jerusalem. The tour of Jerusalem is always substantially a meeting with people, whether it a tour of Old Jerusalem or the Mahane Yehuda market, The human encounter with the characters of Jerusalem is an essential part of the tour experience. When a Jerusalem guide takes you on a tour there is a better chance that you will meet the most colorful Jerusalemites, which is what makes the difference.

Are there any differences between tour guides in Jerusalem?

Of course, tour guidance in Jerusalem is rich and complex. Over the years developing their skills, tour guides in Jerusalem become specialists in even more specific areas, For example there are guides who are really experts on tours of the Mahane Yehuda market, and the experience you will get with them is the best there is! There are counselors who specialize in subjects such as Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and all-religions tours in Jerusalem.
Training in the ceremonies and holidays in Jerusalem is also its own area of training. Yes, in Jerusalem almost every day is a holiday and most of the guides who do not specialize in the field did not always know why today there is a procession in a given church or in the middle of the street. Tour guides in Jerusalem also speak different languages, and anyone looking for a tour guide in Jerusalem for guests from abroad should be quite sensitive here, because the Russian or German or Chinese tourists are not looking for the same thing in Jerusalem. Each of them has a different picture of who Jerusalem is and it is very important to choose correctly.

What are the main styles of Jerusalem tour guides?

Let’s start with the older generation of tour guides. Many such guides like to emphasize the history of Jerusalem, Zionism, and nostalgia. These guides can tell you almost everything about the region’s history, but may not be as responsive to different clients’ needs.
The culinary experience is another real area of focus, and many tour guides in Jerusalem have chosen to emphasize the developing field of culinary tours. With them you can reach the most remote dining spots in the city and find the original kebab, the ancient Tahina factory, and the most secret bakeries!
Tours in the Mahane Yehuda market are another specialty. Recently we have seen the growing popularity of a combination of cooking workshops and tours, such as where you simply go to the market, or hummus tours in the Old City.
A few tour guides choose to specialize in Jerusalem’s neighborhoods, so you can have an in-depth tour of Rehavia, Talbieh, Katamon, and more, exploring the history behind stories like “Someone to Run With” and famous artists like Yossi Banai. Not all tour guides in Jerusalem can show you these stories.
There are also tour guides in Jerusalem who focus on holidays, traditions and celebrations. They know exactly when, for example, the holiday of Epiphany falls and when it is worthwhile to go on a tour of how to bake matzah for Pesach in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods. All this in addition to the Hanukkah tours and Selichot tours that everyone already knows about.
And there are still quite a few more types of tour guides in Jerusalem that have not been mentioned here.

So how do you choose a tour guide in Jerusalem?

Our recommendation is, of course, to tell us who you are, what the purpose of your trip is and what you have already done, and we will find the best suited guide who will lead you to an unforgettable experience. That is our responsibility!

About a Guided Tour in Jerusalem

Guided tour in Jerusalem, the ultimate tourism destination! The reunited town which holds thousands of years of history, a magical mix of religions, cultures, congregations, and ethnic groups who despite all of their tension share the same city and gives it a character unlike any other city in the world.

Jerusalem is a touristic treasure, with something for anyone: culture and museums for the art fans, religious and historic sites, multi-layered architecture, and also more earthly delights like amazing food, lively markets, antiques and fabrics for sale – all of the above make up the uniqueness of Israel’s capital.

How do you decide what to see out of all of this goodness?

All of us, as Israelis, have already visited Jerusalem more than once. It’s rare to find an Israeli citizen who has never been to the Western Wall, the Knesset area, or even in the Mahane Yehuda market. But is there really more to see in the city? Well, yes, and a lot of it!! Just because you’ve already had the tour of the most popular sites in the city, doesn’t mean you’ve enjoyed all the amazing experiences Jerusalem has to offer.

If you want to discover new ways to travel in Jerusalem that will surprise even Israelis, think about taking guided tours in Jerusalem from those who are specialized in giving this kind of tour of the city. If you are planning a tour of Jerusalem for a family event, or at work, or just a fun day, you should first check out the tour companies who are specialized in giving guided tours to Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, the capital from a whole different angle

Because of the richness of the city, guided tours in Jerusalem might have a completely different character each time. Guided tours in Shabbat will look different from the same tours on weekdays; group tours with children will be quite different from adult guided tours. For exactly these reasons, you should find someone who knows how to match the perfect trip to your group’s personality, the city’s atmosphere, and the different limitations, if there are any.

First, the quality and professionalism of your guide is very important. Because Jerusalem is a city with complicated history and present realities, you must have a guide who knows the city like the palm of his hand, a true resident of Jerusalem who knows the city and its most charming spots, who knows how to manage himself in the different sites and in front of the unique citizens of the city, and who knows how to give you all this with charm and humor so you will be truly fascinated.

Want examples?

Change the time and perspective. Go to a nightly observation point’s tour of the city, which takes place from the rooftop height of the Old City and its surroundings. This is a charming example of another way to experience Jerusalem.

At night, Jerusalem glows with glory and holy solemnity. You can watch the sunset above David’s Tower and the city walls, enjoy the night view of Mishkanot Sha’ananim and the Sultan’s Pool, and absorb the atmosphere of the city at night. You can also do the opposite! Go below, to explore the tunnels and the secrets of the underground world of Jerusalem. You can pass a whole day in the dark water pools around the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, in the Struthion Pool and other sites with a cool and mysterious atmosphere. That’s a tour especially suited for hot summer days.

Dont forget, You can always rent a taxi or just use Car rental Israel services

Via Dolorosa Jerusalem Tour

The “Via Dolorosa,” Latin for “Way of Grief” or “Way of Suffering,” marks the route that Christ took bearing the cross from his trial to the crucifixion.

The road itself is a lively main street in the Old City of Jerusalem dating back to the Roman city Aelia Capitolina. Like the rest of the Old City, every generation left its mark on the Via Dolorosa, so as we walk this special street we weave in and out of Christ’s story, at once “walking through history” and encountering the Via’s bustling everyday life. It is an emblematic experience of Jerusalem.

The Western Wall

A tour of Jerusalem is not complete without visiting the Western Wall. Israelis and tourists alike must all see the Western Wall to visit when they travel in Jerusalem. Every important person visiting Israel is photographed at the Western Wall.
Also called the Wailing Wall, it is one of the most sacred sites for Jews. Many believers come to pray, cry, celebrate, and make requests. We will tell you a bit about the history of the site and the options for celebrations at the Western Wall.

A little history about the Western Wall

The Western Wall is one of the four supporting walls that have surrounded the Temple Mount (Mount Moriah) from the end of the Second Temple period until today. The Western Wall was built on Herod’s order as part of the renovation and expansion of the site on Mount Moriah in the first century CE. The wall was built of limestone, probably quarried in the vicinity of Jerusalem in the Shuafat area and in the nearby Zedekiah Cave. The upper courses of the Western Wall are later construction. While there is no real possibility of dating any of the stone, the difference between the sizes of the stones can be discerned. Until the Six-Day War, in which the area around the Western Wall was conquered, there was the Mughrabi neighborhood (hence the name “the Mughrabi Gate” to the Temple Mount) next to the Western Wall plaza (where we pray today). After the war it was decided to demolish the neighborhood, lower the level of the street, and expand the plaza for the benefit of the many Jews who dreamed of praying at the Western Wall.

If you look at pictures of the Western Wall before 1948 you can see men and women prayed together at the Wall without any separation at all, contrary to what is accepted today. It is possible to identify words in Hebrew on some of the stones of the Western Wall. These were written by the pilgrims who arrived to pray. (These stones are now found among the middle courses, due to the lowering of the Western Wall plaza). Jerusalem tours usually end at the Western Wall, where travelers will have free time to pray and write requests or prayers on a note.

The sanctity of the Western Wall

For those who come to pray, it does not matter that this is the outer wall of the Temple. What is important is that this is the holiest site of the Jewish people today. It has received this sanctity over many years as the most accessible ancient remnant to the residents of Jerusalem.
After being sanctified by the Jews, the place gained status with Muslims and Christians. In Arabic, it is called al-Buraq, because this is where Muhammad tethered a miraculous beast which he rode on his night journey from Mecca to al-Aqsa and from there ascended to heaven.
Most of the pilgrims arrive during the holidays, Sukkot, Pesach, and weeks in which hundreds of thousands pray.
During the Hanukkah holiday there is a large increase in the number of visitors who want to remember the Maccabees’ victory, the Temple, and the miracle lights, so Hanukkah tours in Jerusalem that pass through the Old City will always end at the Western Wall.
Even during the Selichot period, many worshipers arrive midnight after midnight and the peak is during Yom Kippur. Many Selichot tours end at the Western Wall every year between the first of Elul and Yom Kippur.

Bar Mitzvah Celebration at the Western Wall

The big day has come and you want a profound bar mitzvah for your son? The Western Wall is one of the most exciting ways to celebrate the arrival of the son to the mitzvot. You can do “Aliyah La`torah” on Mondays and Thursdays or Rosh Chodesh.
After the ceremony, it is recommended to take a guided tour (about two hours) in the Jewish Quarter, where you will encounter the history of Jerusalem. A tour of the Western Wall is suitable for all ages.
