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.

David was a great guide, helpful with ideas, both for the tour and also for our wider travels in TLV/Israel. The tour around Jerusalem was excellent. David has encyclopaedic knowledge of the history of the city which ignited many memories of past ltexts we had read. David took a lot of trouble to understand what we wanted to get from our tour, tailoring the walk to cover the stories and the sites to fit. Finally huge thanks for his patience and going above and beyond when my wife had walking difficulty

David is a fantastic tourguide. He is friendly, caring, always punctual and has an intimate knowledge of the history of Jerusalem. He shared with us Jerusalem's religions and its cultures, but most important its people and their stories. He went out of his way to accommodate our requests and introduced us to some of the best culinary experiences in the Old City. David is full of energy and made every aspect of the tour enjoyable. Because of David we learnt so much about Israel. We can recommend him.

David was very informative, accommodating and pleasure to be with. The tour was with my wife and I and David,…. just the three of us. Because of our age, we requested a less strenuous tour of Jerusalem and David delivered. David accommodated us in every way he could, held our attention and gave us a great tour that fit our age. We have five more tours booked with tours by locals on our eastern med cruise. Great job !

We truly enjoyed our tour with David. We were looking for an experience to help us understand Jerusalem and its many wonders and issues. He definitely delivered. He also showed us some hidden gems of the city and picked out wonderful food to eat along the way. We highly recommend.

David is a great guide. He took us to places - hidden gems - in Jerusalem we never would have seen or known about without him. He is very knowledgeable, a boon companion, and a veritable gift from above. He's charming and warm and wonderful. We would not hesitate to hire him again. He gave us one of our best travel days ever. God bless you David!
