We spent two weeks in Israel and feel like we “saw it all”; our day with Shlomo was genuinely the highlight. Shlomo gets rave reviews because every tour is bespoke (i.e., religion, history, or politics - you decide). He bounces around 1,000s of years of history in a way that’s logical and easy to follow, and reinforces the points with questions to make you think. It was like a college lecture from everyone’s favourite professor. Thank you, Shlomo - we appreciate you!Shlomo is one of the best guides we have ever had. He is experienced and knowledgeable, and a great story teller. He is amiable, flexible and serious. We will for sure pass on his contact to all our friends who visit Jerusalem.
