Shalom! I am thrilled that you've made the decision to come visit the best place in the entire world. My name is Yonit and I've been living the dream, working as a licensed guide in Israel for 6 years. I consider it a privilege to be able to explore the vast beauty of the land of Israel while educating tourists about this country's deep historical roots, geopolitical complexities as well as religious and cultural ties. It's no secret that I'm especially passionate about Jerusalem, and and I've been told that my energy is infectious (consider yourselves warned). :) Although I live and guide primarily in Jerusalem, I also offer private tours of the Judean Desert, Galilee, Coastal Plain and the Golan Heights. Please feel free to be in touch for a customized tour to suit your travel needs and curiosities! *Tour Guide License (Israel Ministry of Tourism) *Masters in Jewish Education *Bachelors in History & Religious Studies 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

We will meet at the Jaffa Gate and then begin to climb the ramparts of the Old City walls. As we navigate the narrow corridors above the four quarters, our tour will head to the ancient City of David, where Hezekiah's water tunnel awaits us. Following our adventures in the 3000-year-old city, our group will ascend to the Southern Wall Excavations, where we will explore unique archaeological findings at the base of the Temple Mount and make our way to the Western Wall. Following lunch, we will have the opportunity to explore the charming alleyways of the Jewish Quarter, and to gaze upon the Old City from a magnificent vantage point. On our way back to the Jaffa Gate, our tour will walk through the Arab Souq (market) to pick up any last minute souvenirs. ;)

Our family of four—grandmother (me), son, and his two daughters, spent an incredible day with the amazing Yonit. Her knowledge of Jewish history, Israel and Jerusalem is astounding, but more importantly, Yonit ties it all together in a way that is compelling and personal. Yonit's spirituality and warmth added so much to our experience. . We will surely recommend her to any of our friends and family who are lucky enough to spend time in Israel. For us, Yonit's tour was the highlight of our trip!

We recently did a tour of the Old City with Yonit with my wife and kids (13yo and 11yo) and our parents. Yonit is enthusiastic and did a great job of keeping the kids engaged. She also did a great job of pacing the tour to accommodate the old folks. She has a deep knowledge of history and the country and was able to answer all of our questions. We also enjoyed chatting with her generally about life in Israel and her background. We all agreed that Yonit was the best guide we've ever had! Highly recommend!

This is the second tour we made with Yonit, really an amazing experience, we learned a huge amount of things, she makes the tour enjoyable and time flies. A great decision to hired her the second time. She really enjoys her job and makes it easy for us.

Outstanding. Full of energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge. Also safety conscious. We toured the City of David with Yonit. If you want to get the most from her knowledge study up in advance. There is no doubt that Yonit will be excellent wherever you go with her. Our only hesitation in recommending her is that she will get so busy that she will not be available on our next vist.
