As a licensed, local private tour guide based in Jerusalem Israel I try to create private Jerusalem tours and Israel tours that include all the must see sites but leaves time to go off the beaten track to match your interests and travel pace. Australian born , I have made my home in Jerusalem for the past 30 years and enjoy sharing travel experiences with visitors to this complex and interesting place. I love developing custom designed itineraries with enough flexibility for you to feel that you are in charge of your own trip. I highly recommend early morning tours of Jerusalem with the light of dawn and the quiet streets and Holy places as the day starts in the City. ***CUSTOMIZED TOURS can also be developed combining specific tours developed by the guides in the Israel Toursbylocals community that you may be interested in and my role is to help create an overall itinerary that makes the most sense in maximizing your Israel experience. Each day is an opportunity to create your own experience . I work with individuals, couples, families with kids, sometimes 3 generation families touring together. I've toured with 7 & 9 year olds as well as 96 & 94 year olds and I love to make every day of touring a little different - a change of pace, a change in the order of the sites visited , a day following a theme that grows from a question someone asked the day before. Let's face it you have come for a holiday so want to enjoy but it's not hard to see that there is a lot of layers to this place. Mark Twain described it as being a place you have to read a hundred pages of history for every mile or so you walk. Have a look at the tours I offer and be in touch . Please also note that these tour description can be combined in a myriad of ways and I am always happy to develop a customized itinerary & quote for you. It has always been my opinion that private tours of family , friends and self formed groups of traveling companions can be a great way to travel and explore Israel and such groups can make for an enjoyable as well as cost efficient travel experience. Please remember the ToursbyLocals approach: ***Every tour is private. As your guide I will spend time only with you and the people you're traveling with. ***Go at your own pace. You can see as much as you can or slow things down to a saunter. With me as your private guide, your day is flexible. ***Benefit from a local's knowledge. You can access more intimate, out of the way spots that have never seen a bus tour. ***Every tour is customizable. See the sights YOU want, try the food YOU crave, learn about what interests YOU . ***CUSTOMIZED TOURS can also be developed combining specific tours developed by the guides in the Israel Toursbylocals community that you may be interested in and my role is to help create an overall itinerary that makes the most sense in maximizing your Israel experience. Feel free to be in contact and I will be delighted to assist you develop a personal tour for your Israel travels.

    Zel was a wonderful tour guide. He took us to interesting places in the Old City, and always had his IPAD ready to show us interesting tid bits about the location. He was great!

    We were fortunate enough to have met Zel, who introduced us to the most relevant landmarks and history of Jerusalem. We only had a few hours in this magnificent city to appreciate it, and he was more than accommodating, and showing us many of the landmarks that we would have missed, had we've been on our own. I thoroughly recommend him, his easy-going style and knowledge...

    My family thoroughly enjoyed Zel's super informative 'Walking Tour of Jerusalem' which we did a week ago. Zel is a charismatic and warm person, and his knowledge of Jerusalem's history was extremely impressive. From the moment we met with him, we were all utterly fascinated by the knowledge he shared with us and things really started to make sense, especially given that...
