Segway Tours

• Like many other cities, Jerusalem has recently adopted Segway tours. A segway is an electric scooter-like vehicle that balances itself as a passenger stands on it, and it allows travelers to cover distances with ease. After on-the-spot segway training, travelers enjoy 90-minute guided tours of Jerusalem. Depending on the tour chosen, travelers may visit the Sultan's Pool, the Knesset, the Supreme Court or the Botanical Gardens. Tours are limited to nine people, and all guides are experts who provide commentary on the history of Jerusalem. Tours depart every day but Saturday at 10:30 a.m., with additional 1:30 p.m. tours on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Those interested must book tickets in advance through the City of David Visitors Center.

Archaeological Seminars

• Archaeological Seminars offers private walking tours of Jerusalem for groups of up to 10 individuals. Tours are either half-day or full-day, but the staff customizes itineraries to suit each group's unique interests. Archaeological Seminars attempts to make tours relevant and educational, a goal it achieves with tours like "In the Footsteps of the Fighters," which takes travelers to sites in Jerusalem relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict, such as the UN Headquarters, the Turgeman Post, Ammunition Hill and Mount Herzl. Another tour, "Jerusalem as the Center for Three Religions," travels to Zion Gate, the Jewish Quarter and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, viewing the El Aqsa Mosque from a rooftop vantage point.
