This tour was a great experience. Our guides did a great job explaining many sites around Jerusalem from both Jewish and Palestinian pints of view. It's the kind of insight you can't get any other way on a short trip to this wonderful city.

The trip was quite informative and interesting. We also appreciated that we visited a large number of sites. Our Palestinian tour guide was much more experienced and spoke better English than our Israeli guide, so it was not a fully balanced tour. We were fine with this since we already knew the Israeli side fairly well. Still, a more balanced tour would have been preferred.

You cover a lot of ground in this tour of the Old City, which runs nearly five hours long. From the Armenian quarter to the Wailing Wall to Dome on the Rock, you can see a lot of the major sites in the Old City and hear perspectives on the city and life in Jerusalem from both a Jewish and Muslim guide. PROS: * Two guides for the price of one! You can hear insight from two different perspectives * Though the Armenian quarter is a bit sparse (it is what it is in terms of what there is to see) we did cover all four quarters of the Old City * Not just the sights of the city but local insight into living in the city and the social and political issues at play CONS: * Little opportunity to sit during the five hours so you are on your feet almost the whole time, there were times when seating was available very nearby but the guides had us gathered instead where it wasn't available * The two guides did have different viewpoints but they were not as differing as I had hoped as they were on, say, the Hebron tour, which I felt did a much better job as the 'dual narrative' aspect of the city and its inhabitants
