Shalom, my name is Adiel, an Israeli-Argentinian with a Brazilian and American twist! Having lived and been in several countries and in Jerusalem for many years I am fortunate to be able to combine my multi-cultural exposure and love for history, people, cultures, civilizations, religions and geography working as licensed tour guide in Israel. I guide in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Hebrew. Besides guiding private tours the last past years I also guided many big groups which gave me strong skills to provide even higher quality service to private tourists. My private Jerusalem tours give you flexibility in choosing a full day or a half day tour including all must see sites. You can choose one of my offered tours or opt for a customized tour. Whether you are looking for an exquisite and exclusive tour or wishing a personalized and unique experience with your family, together we will build the perfect itinerary for you! I feel myself as an ambassador of our beautiful country and, by showing it to you, my commitment is to contribute for your experience to be as remarkable so you may always want to come back for a new visit! Wishing you a happy and memorable trip! Adiel ​ Israel Ministry of Tourism Licensed Tour Guide Driver with Public Vehicle License issued by Israel Ministry of Transport

Overview of your Jerusalem tour

We'll explore the origins of Jerusalem and we'll learn why and how King David conquered this place from the Jebusites 3000 years ago and how it became a royal and the capital city. A key site to understand why Jerusalem is so relevant to Jews and Christians. The walking tour could be either through the dry or water channel. On the way we will see the differences between the Canaanite and Hezekiah's tunnel and the remains of King David's palace. Do you know why Hezekiah's tunnel was so important? In this tour I will show you the ruins and the archaeological remains of this wonderful site where Jerusalem began. Great walking tour to start grabbing a good knowledge and experience Jerusalem from the beginning.

Anyone who has read our other reviews of touring with Adiel knows we are fans. This tour only enhanced our respect for his patience and knowledge of the terrain and history. In pouring rain, he expertly guided us through what is briefed to be King David's palace and the historically significant tunnels to Jerusalem's emergency water supply. It was the perfect tour for anyone who likes history and archeology. Adiel made us feel like we had a friend and teacher. Perfect albeit wet day ended with him pointing out a terrific restaurant!

Adiel provided us with a fantastic tour of the city of David! He has a true passion for history and gave us many intriguing insights that enhanced our walking tour of Jerusalem. He was very easy going and accommodating. We had an absolutely wonderful time with Adiel and would certainly recommend his tours.

Adiel W is a wonderful tour guide. He is exceptionally knowledgeable. He was able to give us all the information about the sights and more. Adiel was very accommodating to my issues with climbing due to recent knee surgery. We made it through. I would definitely recommend Adiet and would book him again.

Adiel was very prompt with communication and ver understanding. When part of our group missed the tour due to flight cancellations, he was willing to communicate with someone else in the group and do the tour for a smaller number of people. Those that attended the tour had a fabulous day. Highly recommended.

Adiel is a great guide! He is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and he made a few extra stops for us that weren't in the original itinerary. We are so happy to have Adiel for another tour in a few days!
