Shalom, my name is Shai, and I help people connect to The Land of Israel using their six senses. So what is the sixth sense, you're asking? Follow me, and I'll help you to find out. . . As a private tour guide, I create tailor-made tours according to the wishes of Jewish and Christian tourists. Special VIP treatment for businessmen coming from abroad. Even a single day can become a great experience. My latest book (2025), 'A Bridge to Your Roots,' connects the Bible to Israel's geography and delves into the social, religious, and historical backdrop of Jesus's time during the late Second Temple period. This isn’t just a travelogue—it’s a spiritual journey. Discover the depths of the Bible by connecting its stories to the geography of the Holy Land in its original setting. Uncover Israel’s rich history and the deeper meanings of biblical words through their Hebrew origins that illuminate the foundational meanings of biblical words. Inspired by Mark Twain’s 1867 journey, this book retraces his footsteps while uncovering hidden gems he missed. I create tour experiences and not merely sightseeing tours. . . Licensed tour guide in English and Hebrew -Incoming Tourism, Pilgrimage, off-the-beaten-path places… VIP special tours with luxury cars.

Shai was both a fascinating guide and friend throughout the long day. He made me feel like we knew each other for 20 years, yet we just met. If you are looking for insight and history told from the various sides of Israeli history, Shai is your man. I only wish I had a longer day to tour. Thank you Shai
I arraigned the Jerusalem tour for my Mom and Sister(both seniors) through TBL and Mr. Shai accepted the Job. All I have to say from what my Mom and Sister told me about the trip was wonderful. Mr. Shai showed a lot of patience as my Sister and my Mom walked very slowly through the tour and he went out of his way to accommodate and make sure that they can visit as many places as possible. He is very kind and professional. I would definitely recommend him if any body he looking to do a tour in Israel. Pash
Fabulous. Knowledgeable. Made every effort to make us happy. Super nice person!
We had a wonderful 3 days with Shai! Through his comprehensive questionnaire and communication, he crafted the perfect personalized itinerary. Clean vehicle, water and snacks! Shai is super educated and thorough, and we dove deep into the ancient & modern history and differences between the major cultures & religions. He's openminded, flexible, personable, funny, thoughtful and warm. We left with a deep understanding and respect for the challenges of this fascinating area, and a new friend! Thx Shai! <3
