# Private Full Day Tour Jerusalem and Bethlehem or Dead Sea from TA 

> Pick up from Central Area, Jerusalem or Ashdod Port.  · 8 to 9 hours. Licensed private tour with Ilya Pevzner (The Israel Guide).

Jerusalem is the heart of the Holy Land. Half of our excursions go to Jerusalem. Prophets and Jewish kings, Jesus, Christian Crusaders, and Muslim armies all fought for this city. Thousands of pilgrims and visitors have been coming to Jerusalem for at least 3,000 years.

This is a must-visit place — very important for our civilization.

As a Christian tour participant, you know that the most important miracle happened here in Jerusalem — the victory over death. From here, Jesus rose to heaven, and here, in Jerusalem, He will return at His Second Coming.

This is where the story of the Bible comes to life. In the places described in the Bible, you will walk and see the same streets.

Please note: I am a well-known and experienced guide in Israel. I have knowledge and education in history, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. It is my pleasure to show Jerusalem to our guests. You are not just my tourists — you are my guests.
