I'm Helen C., your private tour guide in Jerusalem
Guide #23509
I have lived, laughed, loved and lamented in Jerusalem for over 20 years. I feel at home in her alleyways and markets and I know all of her stories and most of her secrets. Originally from sunny London, England, I came to Israel after graduation, in order to follow my childhood sweetheart. I can find my way around the country using the bible or a map. I can show you the castles of knights and the palaces of kings, the battle grounds of yesterday's wars and the context of today's debates. I can tell you how a man votes (or in some cases doesn't), by looking at the hat he wears (or in some cases doesn't). I have brought up my own children to know and love Israel and enjoy taking other children on the same journey of enrichment and discovery… and sometimes just plain fun. I am also one of only a small group of tour guides to receive accreditation from the Ministry of Tourism as a specialist in wine tours around the country. So if you are interested in learning some more about this subject and visiting some of the vineyards and wineries, do let me know.

It was a pleasure to spend 2 days touring Jerusalem with Helen. She was a wealth of information and insider-secrets, and went to extraordinary effort to customize our two days around our very interests and needs, even introducing us to some religious scholars who had expertise in specific areas of interest that we had communicated before the tour. You would be well served...

Helen was simply wonderful! She answered all of my endless questions prior to booking, and really catered to to my group of 8, age ranging from 5 - 70+. Helen had also arranged for a private van to pick us up from the cruise terminal, who was also very punctual. The day tour itself was very informative, and Helen clearly knew what she was doing. She tried to keep the kids...

I am so glad you enjoyed your visit to Jerusalem. The day was not without its challenges and the important thing is that everybody had a good experience. I hope you will make it back again one day to see some more of the city.
