I am a licensed tour guide, qualified for tours in English, Italian, French and Hebrew. Born in Haifa, living in Tel Aviv, in love with Jerusalem. My original profession was in the theater, as director and teacher. I founded and directed the Aleph High School of Arts theater department, which I had directed for 29 years. Then, I fell in love with guiding in this remarkable country, and took early retirement to my own, and hopefully, my tourist's pleasure. In addition, I am an amateur cook and love good food and wine. Let me present you with the rainbow of cultures in this country and their long history and let's travel together through the parallel worlds of this land. Come with me to unconventional tours where I can share the wonderful world I had discovered. Please read and get inspired by my special tours, and we will build together a tour to suit your interests and wishes. Licensed tour guide reg. No. 11518 Israel Ministry of Tourism 2014 Specializing course in Christianity 2019. Ministry of Tourism. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle, or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Jerusalem tour

I think I will never tire of taking tourist and pilgrims to this most emotional and profound in this Jerusalem tour in the footsteps of Jesus. On the route of Palm Sunday, as he majestically enters Jerusalem, and the heartbreaking route he took a week later as he carried his cross to be crucified on the Hill of Calvary. Today, this path trails inside the holy city into the church of the Holy Sepulchre. This is right for the Catholics and Orthodox. An alternative route could be arranged for evangelicals, ending up at the Garden tomb. I will take you to various little chapels, tunnels and underground cisterns along the route, also stopping for street food and coffee in the bazaar. Follow me into my secret gems inside the mysterious alleys of the Old City of Jerusalem. It is an intoxicating voyage: the history, the religious fervor of all religions, the fragrance of the spices, fresh-ground coffee beans, incense and cooking will make you fall in love with this city.
