As a tour guide licensed by the Israeli ministry of tourism I get to indulge my enthusiasm and passion for the Land of Israel, and I'd like to share that passion with you. Originally from the United States, I've lived most of my adult life in Israel - this is my home; I'm proud of it and I'd like to show it to you. My previous career - 20 years as a police officer in the investigations branch has given me a unique understanding and insight into Israeli life. Let me help you create a visit which will be truly memorable, something suited to your personal interests, pace and style. See and feel how the Bible is woven into the history, culture, peoples and religions of Israel, both ancient and modern. Walk where the Israelite patriarchs, kings and common folk walked, or gain a singular understanding of Israeli military history. See a stunning desert sunset, travel the Galilee or sample the excitement of Tel-Aviv, have lunch with Jewish family in Jerusalem or a Druze family on the Golan Heights - the possibilities are endless. Of course you are on vacation, so just plain fun won't be neglected. You can get in water sports, camping, food and wine, or spend some time lazing on a Dead Sea beach. So get in touch - a great tour is waiting for you - Israel Ministry of Tourism, guide license no. 10966. BA International Relations, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. 2nd Temple-era Jerusalem, City of David Institute.

    Gary was exceptionally knowledgeable of Masada and Dead Sea but most importantly he is knowledgeable of the world and how Israel interacts with others. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and highly recommend not only for this tour but all of the other tours he offers. Gary is a great guide and person that knows how to make your visit interesting and special.

    Gary is terrific guide. He is easy to talk with and has a good sense of humor. More importantly, Gary has terrific knowledge of the old city of Jerusalem in general, as well the historical aspects of what was happening during the time of Christ. Not surprisingly, there are hordes of tourists in the old city, but Gary was able to lead us to all the significant historical...

    Thanks very much for your kind words Nancy. It was a pleasure meeting you and I enjoyed the day as well. There seems to be a glitch in the web site and I can't get into your last message so I'll probably have to hold off until tomorrow to send you the pics.
