Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a private tour cost?+
Private guiding starts from about USD 380 for a full day. The final price depends on the route, the size of your group and whether you need transport. Every proposal lists each item separately, so there are no surprises.
Is transportation included?+
It depends on the tour and your group. When you need it, we arrange private transport for your group, and the proposal states exactly what's included.
Can the itinerary change?+
Yes, within the limits of reservations, access, geography and current conditions.
Do you guide children?+
Yes. Ages and interests shape the route and explanation style.
Can tours be in English or Spanish?+
Yes. Tours can be in either language, or a planned combination when useful.
Do you guide religious and secular groups?+
Yes. The historical framework can be adapted to faith, culture, archaeology, politics or mixed interests.
How far in advance should we contact Ari?+
As early as you can, especially around holidays and for multi-day trips. For tomorrow or the day after, use Express.
Can Ari book hotels and flights?+
Not directly. We work around the bookings you've made and can recommend places. If a package is needed, the proposal says exactly what's included.
What changes on Shabbat?+
From Friday afternoon to Saturday evening, Jerusalem slows down: most shops close and the light rail stops. Tel Aviv stays lively. We plan Friday and Saturday around it, so you don't lose a day.
Are entrance fees included?+
Your proposal says so either way. When they're not included, we tell you in advance which sites charge.
What does a typical day look like?+
A tour day lasts between 5 and 9 hours, depending on the route and your group's pace, with a proper lunch break.
What should I wear at religious sites?+
Shoulders and knees covered for churches, the Western Wall and synagogues. A light scarf in your bag solves most situations, and free kippot are available at the Western Wall.
What if conditions change?+
Routes are reconfirmed close to the date and adapted to official guidance, access and weather.
