Private Jerusalem Day Tour with Personal Guide and Full-Day Video
Spend a full day with a local guide through Jerusalem’s layered streets while a videographer records your route. Expect 5–8 hours of walking, cultural insight, and a polished video to take home.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring water and snacks
Carry a 1–1.5L refillable bottle and light snacks to keep energy up between stops; refill stations are available but can be spaced out.
Wear sturdy shoes
Cobblestones, stairs and uneven pavement mean closed-toe, grippy footwear will make the tour more comfortable.
Respect dress codes
Modest clothing may be required at religious sites—pack a light scarf to cover shoulders or head when needed.
Schedule early in summer
Start in the morning to avoid peak heat and get softer light for your video footage.

Conservation Note
Visitor pressure and foot traffic affect fragile stonework and historic sites; stick to marked paths, avoid climbing fragile ruins and support licensed local guides to contribute to responsible tourism.
Jerusalem’s Old City has been a crossroads of civilizations for millennia; the Mount of Olives and the Via Dolorosa trace religious and civic routes layered through Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods.
