Jerusalem Journeys
with Tour Guide Leah
בס"ד
Meaningful, engaging, and inspiring experiences thoughtfully designed for families, professionals, and visitors of all backgrounds
I love touring in Jerusalem!
​
I have guided more than 2,000 tours in over a decade for visitors of all ages. Jerusalem is an amazing place to visit: it touches the hearts of so many people from around the world, it's fascinating and has so much to offer! However, it is also complex with it's many alleyways, stairs/hills, hot summer and cold winter weather, lesser known impressive sites, and behind-the-scenes stories/issues.
An expert guide is key for the best experience in this complex city, and my clients have been very happy they have chosen to tour with me.

Make sure your phone/camera is fully charged to take pictures of all the amazing sites. An extra battery pack to charge devices can help ensure you won't miss out on any moments you would like to capture.

If you will be visiting holy sites, you will want modest clothes that cover shoulders and knees or a scarf put on over whatever you are wearing. No low-cut shirts. Pants, skirts, capris are fine. Men require a head covering for the Western Wall.

*Travel health insurance is essential and we highly recommend trip cancellation insurance as well. Trip cancellation insurance can help you in case of flight cancellations or any other unexpected circumstance that could lead to financial loss for your trip you have planned. We can refer you to an excellent insurance agent based in Israel. Ask me for more information.
​
*We do not plan itineraries for tour days we are not guiding. We can recommend an professional trip planner. Sites such as Yad Vashem, Masada, restaurants, private guides and drivers and many activities now require advance reservations. Due to fluctuations in the last few years because of Covid and the war, some sites have closed and some have new hours or reseration requirements. There are also new exciting places to visit. A trip planner has become essential for a successful trip to Israel.
​
*We am not able to guarantee a nut-free environment on a tour. Please let us know about allergies so I can do our best to avoid allergens on the tour.
​
*A half day tour is the minimum tour length we offer. If a group has less time for a tour, the fee will be for a half day tour.
​
Note: While it might seem like younger children would do better with a shorter tour than 4 hours, in our experience, the half day is perfect. It's important to have enough time for walking between sites, snack/bathroom breaks as well as time to provide explanations (and do challenges to win prizes) in a relaxed and interesting way.
