I should be in Israel then. LMK if you need anything prepared.
There are many private, new vacation rentals in the area around Belz and Ramat Eshkol, etc. A few can be booked on AirBnb but most are more "heimish". Very dif experiance than a hotel which many seem to prefer.
In Tzfas I found the hotels especially underwhelming and sent time in beautifual Tzimmers.

IsraelExtreme has many options of guided activities. Currently working on a list of things you can (but prob shouldnt) do on your own.
They have rental cars in his size? In my days most rentals were little go carts
They have many options, most spacious seem to be these odd shaped minivans. Prices much much cheaper with an agent. Many take the train to Yerushalayim and rent here.
Arab quarter tour with @satturn is fantastic!
Ramparts walk on the old city walls is a must do as well.
I have personally met

He would also know about SFs neeeds:
Maybe someone gives a Satmar approved tour of J'lem?
Definitely need a Chevron/Kever Rochel tour
Def agree that if you are going to daven, just go and daven. On your own. Skip the tour. Was there at 130am this past week: found some really sincere yidden sitting on the floor saying tikkun chatzos, couples on the way home from their weddings, etc..
Adding to my previous post, I'll note some specific recommendations. I made a list on this map (which is a picture of a physical map. Location on Google Maps is here.)
I'm sure others will have many other recommendations for other sites on this map. Here are mine, as labeled on the map:
4- Probably not much of an attraction anymore, but that was Rav Dovid Soloceitchik's house. Until last month, you were able to walk up and peak in the window to see him.
Excellent work!
OT: R' Dovid Zt"l moved to an apartment in Eli Hakoehen 19 a little before last chanuka. The Levaya started there ע"ש.
