10 years ago I was in Tzfas for Shabbos and a Rabbi Rottenberg offered free Shabbos afternoon tours of the city which were amazing. Does anyone know if that's still ongoing?

I came across this,
Shabbat tour of the Kahal, archaeological excavations of Tzfat's Old City. Free. Leaves from Livnot U'Lehibanot Tourist Informaiton Center, 27 Alkabetz Street (just below the Ari Ashkanazi Synagogue) Saturdays, morning and late afternoon. Call Livnot to confirm times (which change according to the season) (04)6970311 or 052-3498804 or register online . 20 shekels/pp to be pre-paid.

Thanks!!
Not sure what to make of "Free" and then "20 shekels/pp to be pre-paid." but I'll reach out to them.

Can you change money in the US? Do you change in the airport?

Take cash from an ATM if your bank doesn’t charge a exchange fee.
Eat the ATM fee, it’s well worth it

Or use Charles Schwab bank - ATM fees get reimbursed.

I know you can bring in $10k without declaring. Is that per person or per family?
