Jerusalem In The Footsteps Of Jesus Walking Tour

Tour Overview

Walk the exact paths Jesus walked through Jerusalem on this deeply immersive Footsteps of Jesus tour. Unlike standard Jerusalem tours that cover broad highlights, this specialized walking tour focuses entirely on the New Testament sites connected to the final days of Jesus’s life and ministry. Your Footsteps of Jesus tour begins on the Mount of Olives at the Pater Noster Church, built over the cave where Jesus taught his disciples the Lord’s Prayer. From here you descend through the Kidron Valley to the Garden of Gethsemane, where ancient olive trees still stand in the place where Jesus prayed the night before his arrest. The Church of All Nations, with its striking mosaic facade, shelters the rock where tradition says Jesus knelt in anguish. Entering the Old City, the Footsteps of Jesus tour takes you to the Pool of Bethesda, where Jesus healed a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years (John 5:1-15). Adjacent stands the Romanesque Church of St. Anne, renowned for its perfect acoustics. Continue to the Convent of the Sisters of Zion (Ecce Homo), believed to be where Pontius Pilate presented Jesus to the crowd with the words “Behold the man.” Walk the Via Dolorosa in its entirety, pausing at each Station of the Cross, and conclude at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre where Jesus was crucified, buried, and resurrected. This Footsteps of Jesus tour is the essential pilgrimage experience for Christians who want to go deeper than the standard overview. Available in English only, operating Tuesday and Friday. The Footsteps of Jesus tour requires moderate fitness for walking through the Old City’s uneven terrain.
