About This Tour in Jerusalem

On this unforgettable journey, you'll begin by ascending the Mount of Olives for the same breathtaking view of the Temple Mount that Jesus would have witnessed. From there, you'll visit the Church of Agony and the Garden of Gethsemane, where you'll be transported back in time to the night of Christ's betrayal. As you make your way down to the Old City through the Dung Gate, you'll stop at the Western Wall and witness the deep spiritual connection that Jewish people have to this iconic site. Next, you'll enter the heart of the Old City and explore its ancient streets, starting with the Crusader Church of St. Anne and the pool of Bethesda. Follow in the footsteps of Christ along the Via Dolorosa, stopping at each of the Stations of the Cross until you reach the Church of the Holy Sepulcher - where it is said that Christ was crucified, buried, and resurrected. As you leave the Old City from the Zion Gate, you'll visit King David's Tomb and get a view of the room of the Last Supper.
