Shalom! I am thrilled that you've made the decision to come visit the best place in the entire world. My name is Yonit and I've been living the dream, working as a licensed guide in Israel for 6 years. I consider it a privilege to be able to explore the vast beauty of the land of Israel while educating tourists about this country's deep historical roots, geopolitical complexities as well as religious and cultural ties. It's no secret that I'm especially passionate about Jerusalem, and and I've been told that my energy is infectious (consider yourselves warned). :) Although I live and guide primarily in Jerusalem, I also offer private tours of the Judean Desert, Galilee, Coastal Plain and the Golan Heights. Please feel free to be in touch for a customized tour to suit your travel needs and curiosities! *Tour Guide License (Israel Ministry of Tourism) *Masters in Jewish Education *Bachelors in History & Religious Studies I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Jerusalem tour
We will begin our journey at the Jaffa Gate and take a taxi to the overlook on the Mt. of Olives. From our beautiful vantage point, we will walk down to the serene Garden of Gethsemane and from there continue towards the Old City via the Lions' Gate. Our tour will follow the traditional footsteps of Jesus on the Via Dolorosa until we arrive at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. After exploring the Christian Quarter, we will join the throngs in the Arab Souq (market), and end back at the Jaffa Gate.

Yonit was excellent, her descriptions and knowledge is huge, very very friendly and with a lot of energy. You can't go wrong with her, if you want to have a great time. I will book her again without any doubt.

Thank you Yonit for giving us such a great insight into this amazing city! We had a super last minute request and she took us in and even gave us a personalized version packed with information and fun facts. The tour went for 4 hours but felt like half an hour because we were just so immersed. Great energy and enthusiasm, if we ever return we will reach out to her for sure.

Yonit was a fantastic tour guide. We would book with her again in a heartbeat. She was knowledgeable and flexible-- catering to our needs, especially given we were traveling with our infant daughter in a 100 degree weather day!
