If you ever get the opportunity, and are in reasonably good health, you MUST take this tour!!! It was amazing to retrace the steps of Jesus from Bethphage to Jerusalem. Entering Old Jerusalem through the Lions Gate, walking the Via Delarosa and visiting the sites of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Our tour guide Yoav Malachi was excellent in his guidance and sharing of knowledge. I highly recommend him as he was personable, passionate about history and responsive to his groups requests or particular needs.

Spending such a holy day in such a holy site was out of this world. The whole day was absolutely amazing. It was also a full day of activity from the transport to Bethpage to the opening service to the unbelievable procession with thousands of people from around the world. Plus our guide, Yoav Malachi, was terrific. He helped to make the day extra special between providing safe transportation to and from Tel Aviv, taking his time to explain some of the holy sites we passed along the procession, ensuring we had ample time to take in the energy and magnitude of Palm Sunday, as well as taking us through the old city after the procession. All in all it was a magnificent experience, and highly recommend attending this event if you are ever in Jerusalem on a Palm Sunday, and I highly recommend touring with Yoav as he will ensure your experience is exceptional.

Das war ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis für uns. Unser Guide YOAV MALACHI hat alles super organisiert und die Gruppe mit seiner Begeisterung angesteckt. Seine Hilfsbereitschaft und Herzlichkeit waren etwas Besonderes an diesem außergewöhnlichen Tag! Wir werden lange daran zurück denken.

I don’t usually write opinions, but I do it in case someone with common sense reads it. We got up at 4 am, we arrived at the square at 5 am and there were already some people, but little, we thought how well we only have a row ahead of us, we can see something.Lie!!!!!!!! after being there 8h waiting for them, not a single portable bathroom, people with VIP passes started arriving about half an hour before the start of the act, and placing themselves in front of us and we could not see absolutely anything.A huge disappointment.It is very badly organized and just lets see, that there have always been classes and classes.My recommendation:either you go with mercy pass or you stay in the living room of your house and you will see it much better.
