Very interesting. Would like to have taken the long tunnel tour but was not informed properly ahead of time how deep the water would be that you would be walking in.

Be prepared to wade in water to your thighs. Unforgettable. Takes 45 minutes. Not an easy hike. Lots of stairs you need to be in shape. Be sure and have a flashlight.

Amazing opportunity - not easy in places but my Dad managed quite well with some steadying assistance- he was highly motivated.

Don't recommend for travelers who have problems walking. At times it was slippery; If you don't have problems walking, it is an incredible experience.

We got to Jerusalem early before a guided tour and my wife and I did this on our own. I have pretty bad claustrophobia so it took a lot of guts for me to do this. Luckily we never saw or heard any other groups in there and my wife let me go first. It took us about 30min and... More

Incredible 3000 years man made tunnel. It takes a good 45 minutes walk in complete darkness, so bring a good flashlight. You'll also need water shoes as the tunnel still get water, up your knees in the deepest. Don't worry, water is clear as crystal and you won't get dirty. It is surprisingly exactly as it was 3000 years ago.One... More

Oh my gosh! This was such an awesome experience. The tunnel is located within the City of David. There are two options: taking the dry route or the wet route. I chose to take the wet route where we were lead underground through the section of tunnel with water. So, you might want to wear some shorts or roll up... More

This was an amazing part of our trip. We loved the City of David and walking through the tunnels. You have to be prepared to get wet. It is best to have shoes that can get wet and attach to your feet. They have great changing rooms and lockers to leave your things, just make sure you have a ride... More

The Wet tunnels are a blast to go throw. It goes up to your wast at first but then it stays at your knees the rest of the time. It is a blast to go through.
