Jerusalem Tour By Bike: Cycling in Jerusalem is probably the best way to see the city, recommended by many past travelers and the Lonely Planet; this is a way to see the real Jerusalem. This 3-5 hour tour covers most of Jerusalem's historical neighborhoods, including many places that most visitors never get to see. The tour includes, The Israeli Parliament, The valley of the Cross, "Rehavia" and "Talbia", The German Colony, "Mishkanit Shananim", Jaffa Gate the Russian Compound and "Nachlaot", to name only a few. The ride goes through side streets, short cuts and allies, known by few other than our expert guides.

Ask about adding on a saag (traditional outdoor pita baking) or making pizzot in a taboon. Prices vary based on group size.
