Looking for some basic / recent info on Ir Dovid and Tunnel Tours for 2 adults and 3 kids (including 1 baby).

- Can we do both together?
- Can someone recommend a solid tour guide used recently?
- Make sense to plan this with a  baby in a carrier or not smart?
- Any other tips about these 2 tours specifically?

TIA!

If you don't need a tour guide and just want a driver, then no, that's not a good price.

Stop a couple random taxis on the street and ask them. That's your starting number.

I don't know exactly but whatever quote you get from a taxi you could just lower it a little and ask around people who would be willing to do it.
