Did our own tour with friends. Toured the old city of Jerusalem, visited an Arab owned fabric shop, ate in local cafe inside the city. Drank pomegrante juice from a street vendor, bought huge bagels from street vendor, delicious.
Don't Miss: Just touring the old city, fantastic

Pros: Staff, food, Btp lectures, shore excursions, intinerary

Cons: Non open seating for dinner. Location of Michael's Club tucked away like an afterthought.
