Western Wall Tunnel Tour

Once, 2000 years ago the massive Temple complex was surrounded on four sides by feats of engineering called retaining walls. One of them, on the Western side still stands. But most of it has been covered over the past 2,000 years by houses which were built right up against it. This tour takes you under those houses and allows you to see the length of the wall and beyond it, to the bedrock of Mount Moriah, the holiest place in Jerusalem and therefore, according to some, the holiest place in the world. As you see the visual displays and walk along the wall you will come to understand the Temple’s history and uniqueness in world history. Exit from the tunnel during the daytime is in the Moslem Quarter right at the beginning of the Via Dolorosa. From there you can be escorted back to the outdoor Western Wall complex, or choose to walk through the Old City on your own.

How to put together your Water and Wine tour of Israel

On our Water and Wine Tours website you will not find standard tours.

Don’t worry. We’ll make sure that you experience the must-see sites in the country. But we’ve also included a comprehensive list of sites, by region for people with many different interests, with enough description for you to ascertain whether it’s the sort of place you want to spend your time.

You know your budget and how much time you have to spend here.

So here are our recommendations, based on years of leading all sorts of tours throughout the country.

Ask yourself if this trip is a vacation. Do you want to see sites but also feel really relaxed at the end of each day? So that you don’t need a few days of sleep upon your return home? If this is the case then try to restrict yourself to three major sites per day. Between the sites, travel and lunch 8-10 hours will pass quickly.
If you’re more inclined to describe yourself as a pilgrim or someone who wants a survey of sites, then expect to visit up to five sites per day. You’ll be spiritually satisfied but you’ll also need to get a good night’s sleep every night.
