Ce fût un privilège d’être guidé par Shlomo autour et à travers de la vieille ville, juive et chrétienne. Incollable sur nos nombreuses questions avec beaucoup d’humour. À recommander pour étrangers et israéliens.

Shlomo was very knowledgable about the Old City of Jerusalem during our half-day tour. He took us to see the sites we wanted to see and showed us some additional smaller sites along the way. Well worth it.

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.
