Our group of 8 had a wonderful time learning about Jerusalem with Chava! She was very professional and went above and beyond to maximize our experience. I can't imagine trying to absorb all the history and culture without her help. We were able to personalize the tour to match our interests. Even though she doesn't share our faith, Chava read scripture and focused on the things she knew would be important to us. Thank you, Chava!!yumatitan

I signed up for the 5-hour tour of Old Jerusalem and it was amazing! Leo was very knowledgeable and was a fantastic guide. Since this was a private tour, I was able to move at my pace (quite brisk, in my opinion!) and it felt much more personalized. Just let Leo know what it is you would like to get out of the tour, and she will accommodate you. Highly, HIGHLY, recommend this tour! 11/10!Elaine N

Gadi was our tour guy for a day and half. He toured us Tel Aviv, Jaffa, Jerusalem and dead sea. He's extremely knowledgeable, and if you are into history and religions, he would be a wonderful pick! Thanks Gadi!

Eva was our tour guide, she was amazing! She had so much knowledge on all things Israeli :) I would recommend this tour to everybody. We did a private tour, which in my opinion was a better option. The private tour gives you more of a personal touch and leaves more room for questions. Thank you ...
