I have lived, laughed, loved and lamented in Jerusalem for over 20 years. I feel at home in her alleyways and markets and I know all of her stories and most of her secrets. Originally from sunny London, England, I came to Israel after graduation, in order to follow my childhood sweetheart. I can find my way around the country using the bible or a map. I can show you the castles of knights and the palaces of kings, the battle grounds of yesterday's wars and the context of today's debates. I can tell you how a man votes (or in some cases doesn't), by looking at the hat he wears (or in some cases doesn't). I have brought up my own children to know and love Israel and enjoy taking other children on the same journey of enrichment and discovery… and sometimes just plain fun. I am also one of only a small group of tour guides to receive accreditation from the Ministry of Tourism as a specialist in wine tours around the country. So if you are interested in learning some more about this subject and visiting some of the vineyards and wineries, do let me know.

Helen had great knowledge of wines and the wineries we visited. All were good and at two we met founder/winemakers. The drive was well planned and locations friendly and attractive. This is a great chance to see and learn about an up and coming wine region!

Helen was a very enjoyable guide. She was prompt picking us up and took us to 3 wineries, all of which we enjoyed. She chose the perfect place for lunch. She is an excellent driver. We would love to tour with her again in the future.

We had an excellent Wine and Gastronomy tour with Helen. She did a wonderful job of selecting the wineries & informing them of our preferences. She also picked a fantastic spot for lunch. We definitely recommend this tour.

This was truly a wonderful experience and tour - Helen was a fantastic tour guide, very warm and friendly- she knew a lot about the area and the wineries and microbreweries we visited. This was a special experience for us - we enjoyed the wines but really enjoyed meeting the brewers and winemakers as well as their staff and family. I would highly recommend this tour!
