Shalom! Born and raised in Vancouver, Canada, I chose to make Israel my home in 1993 and have raised my family here. At every opportunity, I have explored the length, width, and depth of this facinating country. I would love to share my passion for Israel with you! I am a licensed Israeli tour guide & facilitator with an academic background in history and education. Prior to becoming a guide, I worked in Israeli hi-tech, communications, and environmental education. I'm curious, creative and love the outdoors. As a versatile guide, I offer a variety of tours and can be flexible with customization. My guiding approach? Fun, relevant, and interactive! Israel is a country with many layers - geographical, historical, cultural, religious. I approach each tour as an opportunity to peel back layers and expose what's below the surface. The Israeli landscape is a canvas for bringing the Bible, history and archaeology to life. I also love highlighting the diversity in Israeli society, addressing geopolitics, exploring challenges facing the modern state of Israel, tapping into local innovation, and savouring Israel's rich culinary culture. I offer a range of both popular tours and off-the-beaten-track excursions that are always customized to meet your pace, passions, and style. You choose what speaks to you and I'll refine the tour. Tours include Jerusalem and Tel Aviv walking tours, shore excursions for cruise ship passengers, single or multi-day drive & guide tours, desert escapes, Galilee vistas, pilgrimage routes, hikes, bike & wine adventures, and more. Want something a bit different? Together we will create the tour that best suits you. What you should know: * All my tours are private - you decide who are the participants. * All my tours can be customized to meet your particular interests, pace, and mobility needs * We can combine tours with other ToursbyLocals guides in Israel Most importantly, I want your experience to be fun, stimulating, and meaningful. Take a look at my tours and feel free to contact me. A great Israel experience is waiting for you!

I invite you to join me in exploring the major sites holy to the 3-monothestic religions in Jerusalem's Old City! Jerusalem, sacred to Jews, Christians and Moslems, is a place of incredible history, unusual beauty, religious diversity, and cultural energy. From the alleys, rooftops, and holy spaces we will explore the major sites and stories that have drawn people to Jerusalem for thousands of years. This is a private, 60 minute live virtual tour delivered personally by me using live video conferencing software & digital resources (Google Earth, maps, custom live video, photos, texts, and more). Our session includes time for questions and dialogue. Already visited Jerusalem? If you'd like to discover something new, contact me to create a customized virtual tour.
Our tour begins outside the walls of the Old City, to feel the contours of the land and the vibe of the modern city. We will then enter the 500 year old gates and begin exploring the following major highlights: - Jewish quarter and Western Wall - Christian quarter, Via Dolorosa (Way of the Cross pilgrims route) and Church of the Holy Sepulcher - Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque on the Haram al-Sharif/ Temple Mount - The markets, local flavours, and panoramic views A good internet connection is required to experience this tour.
