One Day Jerusalem Tour
One Day Jerusalem Tour | Christian Holy Land Tours
Embark on an unforgettable spiritual and historical journey with Elbow Holy Land Tours on our One-Day Jerusalem Tour. This exclusive private tour begins with your personal guide collecting you and your group directly from your hotel in either Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. From there, you’ll be whisked away for a full day of profound discovery, walking in the footsteps of Jesus and experiencing the timeless allure of the Holy City, the very heart of the Christian faith.
A Journey Through the Sacred Heart of Christianity
Our meticulously planned one-day tour focuses exclusively on the most significant Christian sites within Jerusalem, offering a comprehensive and deeply moving experience for believers.
Old City Exploration: Tracing Jesus’s Path
Your spiritual journey begins at the Mount of Olives, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of Jerusalem. From this iconic vantage point, you’ll gain an initial sense of the Holy City and its biblical significance before descending to explore the ancient walls of Jerusalem’s Old City, the spiritual epicenter where so much of the New Testament unfolded. Prepare to be immersed in centuries of sacred history as you explore its revered Christian quarters:
Along the route within the Old City, your tour includes visits to:
- The Mount of Olives: Begin with a breathtaking panoramic view of Jerusalem, a truly iconic vista that sets the stage for your day before decending the path Jesus would have taken on Palm Sunday.
- Garden of Gethsemane: Walk where Jesus prayed before His crucifixion, a powerful site for contemplation and reflection.
- Kidron Valley: View this historic valley, often mentioned in biblical accounts and a route Jesus frequently took.
- Lion’s Gate: Enter the Old City through this historic gate, leading you directly into its spiritual core, near the Pools of Bethesda and the Antonia Fortress.
- Via Dolorosa: Walk the traditional “Way of Suffering”, the path Jesus took on His way to crucifixion. You’ll pause at several Stations of the Cross for moments of prayer and contemplation, connecting deeply with His sacrifice.
- Church of the Holy Sepulchre: Experience the profound reverence of this holiest of Christian sites, believed to encompass both Calvary (Golgotha), where Jesus was crucified, and His empty Tomb.
- The Cardo: Explore the excavated remains of Jerusalem’s ancient Roman main street, offering a glimpse into the city as it existed during the time of Jesus.
Beyond the Walls: Testament to Christian Faith
Following your profound experience within the Old City, our guides will continue to enrich your understanding of Jerusalem’s Christian heritage.
Next, you’ll have the opportunity to take a closer look at sites outside the immediate Old City walls that are integral to Jerusalem’s Christian story:
- Mount Zion: Visit this historically significant hill, home to key biblical sites for Christians.
- The Upper Room: Discover the traditional site of the Last Supper, where Jesus shared His final meal with His disciples.
- St. Peter in Gallicantu: Explore the traditional site where Peter denied Jesus three times, built over the ruins of Caiaphas’s house.
- The Garden Tomb: Conclude your tour at this serene and meaningful site, believed by many to be the actual site of Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection. Here, you’ll find a tranquil garden and an ancient tomb, offering a powerful moment of contemplation and hope.

One Day Jerusalem Tour – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions we get asked about the one day Jerusalem tour
What should I wear when visiting these Christian sites?
We recommend dressing modestly to visit some of the holy sites included on the tour. This generally means covering your shoulders and knees. Comfortable walking shoes are also a must, as you’ll be doing a fair amount of walking, especially in the Old City.
Is there an opportunity for prayer or reflection at the sites?
Definitely. Our Christian guides understand the spiritual significance of these locations. They will provide ample time and quiet moments for personal prayer, reflection, or devotion at key sites like the Garden of Gethsemane, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Garden Tomb.
Can my group size be larger than 6 PAX?
The listed prices are for groups of 1-6 passengers. If you have a larger group, please contact us directly with your specific numbers, and we’ll be happy to provide a customized quote.
Is lunch included in the tour price, or should we plan for it?
Lunch is not included in the listed tour price. However, your guide will be happy to recommend and facilitate a stop at a suitable restaurant or cafe during the tour, depending on your preferences and the day’s itinerary.
Why are your private tours a lot cheaper than others online?
We believe that visiting the Holy Land should be spiritually enriching and financially accessible. Our private tours are more affordable than many others because:
-
Ministry-Driven, Not Profit-Driven: As a Christian company, our mission is to serve fellow believers, not to maximize profit. We aim to make faith-based travel available to more people.
-
Lean Operations: We operate with a small, efficient team and minimal overhead, which allows us to offer competitive pricing without sacrificing quality.
-
Direct Booking, No Middlemen: Unlike many companies that rely on third-party platforms or travel agencies, we manage everything directly. This eliminates extra fees and commissions.
-
Transparent Pricing: Our prices are straightforward and inclusive. There are no hidden costs or surprise charges.
While our tours are more affordable, we never compromise on the experience. You’ll enjoy a deeply personal, spiritually meaningful journey led by knowledgeable guides who are passionate about sharing the land where Jesus walked.
Why are some One Day Christian Tours advertised online cheaper than your tours?
Many tours marketed as “Christian” vary widely in their approach to faith-based travel. Large group tours—sometimes with up to 40 participants—are often led by guides whose focus is primarily historical and archaeological. While these guides may offer valuable insights into the region’s rich past, their commentary may not always reflect the spiritual depth or biblical perspective that some Christian travelers are seeking.
Some itineraries include stops at sites rooted in local tradition or folklore rather than in Scripture or early Church history. For example, stories such as Jesus leaving a footprint on a rock at the Mount of Olives or the white stone in Bethlehem’s Milk Grotto—while cherished by many—are not based on biblical texts or widely accepted theological sources. These elements may be meaningful to some visitors, but may not align with the expectations of those looking for a more Scripture-centered experience.
In addition, some lower-cost tours include visits to commercial venues where guides or operators may receive commissions from purchases. While this is a common practice in the travel industry, it can shift the focus away from the spiritual purpose of the journey. Travelers may also encounter additional costs, such as entrance fees to key sites that are not included in the tour package.
At Elbow Holy Land Tours, we offer a different kind of experience—one that is private, personalized, and purpose-driven. Our tours are designed specifically for Christians who want to explore Israel through a biblical lens. Our licensed guides are committed to the Christian faith and bring both theological understanding and personal conviction to each site, offering reflections grounded in Scripture.
This is more than sightseeing—it’s a pilgrimage. If you’re seeking a spiritually enriching journey through Israel, led by guides who share your faith and values, Elbow Holy Land Tours is here to walk that path with you.
