The day begins with pickup at the David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem and a guided tour of the Old City with an Israeli licensed guide. From the Mount of Olives you take in a panoramic view over the Old City and Temple Mount, then continue to the Garden of Gethsemane and the Kidron Valley. Inside the walls you visit the Western Wall, walk the Via Dolorosa and its Stations of the Cross, and enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the traditional site of the crucifixion and resurrection, passing through the Christian and Jewish Quarters and the ancient Cardo.

The tour then continues to Bethlehem with a Palestinian Christian licensed guide. Here you visit Manger Square and the Church of the Nativity, Saint Catherine's Church, the Milk Grotto Church, and Shepherds' Field in Beit Sahour. You also stop at a family olive wood workshop, with an optional traditional lunch available during the day. Please note that the Grotto of the Nativity is undergoing major restoration through 2026, so access to the Grotto itself may be limited or closed, while the Church of the Nativity and the rest of the tour remain open. The day finishes back in the Old City of Jerusalem.
