Tour guide in Tel Aviv Zohar S.
I'm Zohar S., your private tour guide in Tel Aviv
Guide #58945
Welcome! I am Zohar, a fully licensed tour guide with a deep passion for sharing the layers of history, culture, and the unique culinary flavors of Israel. After a successful career in Israel’s high-tech sector as a software engineer, I decided to turn my analytical mind toward my true passion: uncovering the fascinating stories of my home. I bring the same precision and depth of research from my tech days to every tour I lead. Whether we are walking through the ancient stone alleys of Jaffa or exploring the modernist Bauhaus architecture of Tel Aviv, my goal is to make history feel alive. Travelers often tell me they appreciate my storytelling style—I don't just give you dates and facts; I share the human stories behind the landmarks. From the Byzantine era to the modern creation of Israel, I love tailoring each journey to your interests, whether you are a history buff, a foodie, or an avid photographer looking for the perfect shot. Let’s create an unforgettable experience together! I was born in Israel (Tzabar) and can enhance the tour with my unique experiences and adventures from my service in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). As a major in Paratroops units for over thirty years, I participated in five wars, beginning with the battles at the Suez Canal in 1970 and culminating in the First Lebanon War and the Intifada. My moto is- tour, experience and enjoy with a smile. MSc Industrial Engineering Technion Israeli institute of Technology (1981) Licensed Tour Guide - Ministry of Tourism

Zohar was good and flexible. Was quick to accommodate the touring to a plan B due to weather restrictions and took the family to the Davidson center instead of touring the old city due to rain. The Davidson center was a very good choice.

January 2026Thank you, Rivka for sharing the family's feedback. I am genuinely sorry that their experience did not meet their expectations. Due to the heavy rain, to ensure the family's comfort and safety, I had to adapt the tour and move to indoor sites, including the Davidson Center, where I visited a newly opened section that I was still becoming familiar with.

I enjoyed the tour of Old Jaffa very much and learned a great deal. Zohar is an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable and imparts historical and other facts in an engaging way. He is pleasant company and waited patiently while I took innumerable photos. I highly recommend this tour.
