Start out the day from your hotel in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.  Drive to the Old City of Jerusalem, the first stop of the day will be at the Mount of Olives to tour the Church of the Ascension.  It is believed that Jesus rose to heaven from the rock in the middle of the rotunda.  At Pater Noster, Jesus preached the Lord's prayer, which is a Crusader cloister.  Take a small break to see the amazing view of Jerusalem.  Walking down from the Mount of Olives, we will stop at Dominus Flevit, where Jesus wept as he foresaw the destruction of Jerusalem.  We will continue on to tour the Church of All Nations that is in the Garden of Gethsemane.  Cross the Kidron Valley and enter the Old City by the Lions Gate.  Arrive at the Church of St. Anne, listen to the acoustics in the Crusader Church, and see the pools of Bethesda.  Tour the convent of the Sisters of Zion, and view a water cistern from the Second Temple.  As you are walking see the engravings on the ancient street.  Talk a walk through the Praetorium where Pontius Pilate lived.  Here we will end the tour.  There will be a transfer back to your hotel.
