Guide #34089

Hi! I'm a licensed tour guide and I'm excited to share my love of Israel with you! My passion is using story-telling, education and experiences to connect people to all that Israel has to offer and to give them a wider perspective in order to connect Israel's story to my clients. All parts of Israel, history, nature, religious traditions, modern culture, even food! create a tapestry with themes that are relevant to much of the world and I tap into all those topics through stories and experiences to draw people into their experience as a tourist. I grew up in Minnesota in a story-telling family and chose to make Israel as my home as an adult. I am licensed by the Ministry of Tourism and have a commercial limousine license. I have a BA in Philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh and a MS in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon. I'm a mom to 6 boys and love hiking, games and learning new things. If you have a particular interest, I can help to craft a personal tour for you. I have worked with a wide range of individuals and groups from all walks of life to help them to get the most out of their time in Israel and to connect with their experience. I look forward to seeing you on your next trip to Israel! - Licensed guide - Israel Ministry of Tourism - Licensed driver - commercial - Israel Transportation Ministry - Tour Educator - Machon Taglit, Israel No restrictions.

    First Leigh is a wonderful caring person. As a guide she was prompt, patient, caring and very knowledgeable. Her depth of historical knowledge was amazing, and she was extremely prepared and organized in her presentations. She brought history to life as we visited sites of old.

    I had a great time with you in Tel Aviv linking the history to the modern lived experience. I loved your enthusiasm to try new things in the market and we even sat for some coffee in a quiet corner of the city. Thanks so much for your review!
