I just got back from E’Y and went on an amazing tour of Chevron with Simcha Hochbaum, a NY native and resident of Chevron. http://www.hebron.com/english/tour.php The tour leaves from the Plaza Hotel in Yerushalayim and stops at Kever Rochel on the way. They took us on bullet proof buses and we definitely felt safe the entire time. This along with Simcha’s tour of the “other side” of the Old City (left from Shaar Haashpa, went along the Old City walls through Har Hazeisim and the Arab quarter including a few looks at Har Habayis) were the highlights of my trip. The Old City tour is generally on Tuesday mornings, and check the website for Chevron tour availability. I highly recommend both his tours. (Note: this is coming from a generally paranoid American 🙂 )
