Hanukkah Candlelight Tour in Jerusalem

Private Hanukkah tours for groups — candlelight, stories and Jerusalem atmosphere

Dorit and the guiding team arrange tours for companies, organisations, organised groups and families. Choose a menorah tour in Nachlaot or the Jewish Quarter, a Hanukkah and Christmas lights tour in the Old City, a theatrical tour, or a menorah tour with optional tastings.

At first, I was unsure what a group of young Tel Avivians would even look for in Jerusalem — but thanks to Dorit, everything was perfect! Dorit captivated all 40 employees with ease and charm. Even in the heat, she made sure to adapt the activities accordingly. The team didn’t stop thanking and raving about the experience. It was a fantastic team-building day! Highly recommended!

Dorit was kind, gracious, and provided a perfect solution on short notice for three important guests from India and China. We asked for an “Israeli experience” — and got so much more. Everything flowed smoothly, with no pressure and lots of attentiveness. Our guests had a wonderful time. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a true VIP experience.
