# Jerusalem private tours with Ilya Pevzner

> Private Jerusalem days with Ilya Pevzner, a Ministry of Tourism licensed guide: Old City, Western Wall, Holy Sepulchre, Mount of Olives, and Bethlehem or the Dead Sea as an add-on. Hotel or port pickup.

Jerusalem rewards a guide who knows which gate to enter at which hour. A private day here moves through the four quarters of the Old City, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Via Dolorosa without the coach-group queues, and it can turn toward Bethlehem, the Dead Sea, or Yad Vashem in the afternoon depending on what your group cares about.

Pickup is from your hotel or any address you name, in a private 8-seat vehicle with Ilya driving. Cruise guests from Ashdod reach the Old City in about an hour. The day runs in English, German, Russian, or Hebrew.

Ilya has guided Jerusalem for more than twenty years and holds the Israeli Ministry of Tourism licence, which is what lets him guide inside the sites rather than wait outside them.
