What travellers are saying
- Elona KoganLachine, Canada3 contributionsAs a veteran health professional , I
feel compelled to write this review . Adiel simply checked all our boxes -and then some .His exceptional professionalism was only outmatched by his grace and kindness . The 4 hour tour seemed to go by in a moment- it not only covered the highlights of history but masterfully woven in to this delivery were rich stories , his lovely sense of humour and an ongoing thoughtfulness for our needs and interests - I would not hesitate to recommend his services and I absolutely look forward to future tours with Adiel . It was especially important to me because my daughter was volunteering as a physician for an event with Sheba hospital and she only had one afternoon to visit Jerusalem - She also looooved her tour with Adiel.🩵💙Written September 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gabriel APloiesti, Romania4,910 contributionsHere we find millenary olive trees.
This garden is important for Christian believers, because here our Lord Jesus Christ rested and prayed, before being arrested by the guards.Written April 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The site of the Garden Tomb is supported by evangelical Christians, and Mormons. Orthodox Christians support the Holy Sepulcher as the site of Christ's. resurrection. The Garden Tomb is interesting.Written February 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MooshLACalabasas, CA593 contributionsFirst and foremost, these tours (both Bridge and Rock tours) are well worth a visit. I have been to Israel many times however this was the first that I purchased tickets to experience the lower section. It was quite a cool experience. I opted for the English tours and my guide Sharon was outstanding. I look forward to returning in the future once additional areas are opened up.
Suggestions:
*Wear comfortable shoes
*If you have issues with narrow passageways, this tour may not be for you as it traverses long narrow walkways for a majority of the tour,
*You walk for 70% of the time so be prepared.
*The tours are stacked and in between they flow in bar mitzvah groups which tend to get loud and disruptive to the paid group tours.
*Be sure to check in at least 15-20 minutes before your tour (they suggest 30).
*Each tour lasts 60-70 minutes each.
*Be ready to learn quite a bit about the First and Second Temples which I found to be very informative and interesting for as much as I have learned during my school days.Written July 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Some of the really quirky little shops are still there with great stuff at low prices. But each time we go, with a year or two in between, there are more and more restaurants and fewer shops.Written July 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gabriel APloiesti, Romania4,910 contributionsChurch of All Nations, known and as Basilica of the Agony is situated on the Mount of Olives, near Gethsemane Garden in East Jerusalem.
In this church is located the rock on which Jesus Christ prayed in his last days of life.
It's a large and monumental church.
It's very important landmark of Jerusalem, visited by the faithful pilgrims who arrived here.Written April 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You learn a lot about the Jewish presence on the Temple Mount and lots about the history.
This is also great as a family activity.
I highly recommend itWritten September 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The tunnel shaft that King David used to surprise the enemy so he could take over this mountain; the place where King David set up a tent to house the Ark of the Covenant, the pool where Solomon was anointed as the person to succeed his father as the next king; inscribed seals of known people during the reign of King Josiah, and inscribed seal of Jeremiah's scribe when Jeremiah was commanded to redeem his relative's property.
These evidences and more of Biblical history await you.Written June 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - I visited this place🇺🇸🇫🇷🇨🇭🇬🇷🇬🇧Israel35,329 contributionsPROS
* Nice big zoo emphasizing animals of the Bible
* Spacious and greenery- barely ever crowded
* Activities for children
* Little children's train
* Nice merger of Jewish and Arab Israelis working and visiting together
CONS
* It is big and uphill
* It is costly- 54 ILS for anyone over age 2
* Parking is barely adequate on a busy day, and can be haphazard- some of the parking requires a longer walk over a bridge over the Israel Railways track, and that's not necessarily easy for parents and grandparents with prams and push chairs.
"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... when I took four young boys, ages 9, 6, 5 and 2 for a Friday afternoon. We saw the monkeys, the penguins and elephants and other stuff. The boys wanted to ride the silly little train, so that's what we did. That was an extra charge and any organized queue was non existent
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
Not really- I wouldn't care to necessarily pay again.
WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
Not really, unless i was escorting young ones again
ADVICE
* It's a good zoo with stuff to see and big dusty play areas and climbing stuff
* It's big and uphill
* It's costly
* Parking is not easy

It can hold 5,000 worshippers for Friday prayers. The Al Aqsa Mosque is on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. If you want to visit, it's best to make arrangements in advance.Written October 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
