    Amazingly fascinating tunnel tour
    Our guide provided a very informative tour of the tunnels which lasted about an hour. He frequently stopped to give us details of the stones, including their size and weight, and when they were out in place. Amazing history of these once lost and then rediscovered man made rock tunnels.

    An unforgetable tour into the tunnels if the Wailing Wall
    Today we have been witness to a marvellous tour with the outstanding guide Nathan. He took us 2000 years back into the history of these amazing important tunnels beneath the Wailing Wall. The main milestones of our history where revealed tovus in the most spectacular way. Thanks to dear Nathan we made acquaintance with the history of our beloved Jerusalem!

    Amazing - a must do in the Old City
    We spent part of an amazing morning going through these tunnels with an expert guide who helped us understand what we were seeing. We knew that Israel and much of the middle east consists of cities build on top of cities, but doing this tour really helped us see this first hand and understand what it really means. The amazing history that is revealed at this site makes the visit very worthwhile.

    Great Way to understand the Wall
    I highly recommend the tour. Malka was an exceptional guide and I got a better understanding of the wall and Old City. I got very warm and humid so I recommend you dress accordingly. One or two people left the group because of the tightness of the walkways.

    A very good underground experience
    This was a reasonably well-run guided tour that lasts just over an hour. Tickets are purchased in advance and admission based on timings. Walking distance underground is about 300 metres, and involves a fair number of stairs and some narrow passages. Our guide was knowledgeable and animated, and pointed out the various subterranean spaces, which include houses, an aqueduct and cisterns, the massive "Western Stone," and the remains of a medieval church. Unfortunately, he occasionally dawdled a bit, which meant that we were pushed along a bit by the group behind us. That said, learning about the wall's history and seeing the incredible masonry skills used in ancient times, makes this underground tour worthwhile.

    A Highlight of Our Trip
    Our tour of the tunnels was one of the highlights of our trip. Ora, our guide, provided a comprehensive & engaging tour in English. Despite its length, she found ways to involve the children while imparting history to the adults.

    A great place, a perfect guide
    We really recommend to visit the Great Bridge tour. It was amazing and we had a perfect guide, Revital. She explained everything with a smile and a lot of knowledge. Unfortunately, there were too many kids under the age of 4 and they ran and made a lot of noises. We think that this tour must be for 7 years old and above.

We booked the Great Stone tour as recommended by a few friends and it didn't disappoint. It was surreal to walk through hundred of years of history in this holly place

Really interesting, the tour guide (Mickey) was fabulous. The history and the complexity of the tunnels was fascinating. Do you have to do it? Probably not, but if you can (time and financially) I would recommend it.

The western wall tunnels are worth visiting. What you can get and appreciate depends on the guide. Ours was a aged man that spent most of the time trying to make a comedy-style spectacle appreciated, as far as I perceived, by few participants while most of us were looking around, bored. After a while, some of the participants resigned and went away. Buy the guide was to busy in his "comedy" to realize It.
