Shalom, Salaam, Bonjour, Hallo, I am happy to present myself as a professional, Humorous and passionate licensed tour guide. I made Aliyah (emigrated) from Belgium in 92' to the land of Milk & Honey, Integrated in the society as a Kibbutz member, served in the IDF marines corps and directed for many years at the Foreign Ministry professional training programs for developing countries in cooperation with UNESCO. Particularly touching and fruitful were the dialogue workshops between Israelis and Palestinians. If you decide to book me you will have to fasten you're seat-belt! Your visit to Israel will reach heights and stay inscribed in your memories as a unique experience. MY CHALLENGE: As licensed tour guide, historian and lecturer on Bible History I QUESTION and share the complexity of the past and present of this tiny piece of land who was conquered, destroyed and rebuild so many times. Proud to be familiar with (almost) every side-street, anecdote, local par-fum and melody. IF MOSES WOULD HAVE HIRED MY SERVICES, THE HEBREWS WOULDN'T CIRCLED AROUND FOR 40 YEARS before getting into the land of Canaan! MY OBJECTIVE: Let you live through an unforgettable sensation, called Israel. Looking forward to see you! MA Israel Studies, Haifa university.

Michel was a fabulous guide - personable, extremely knowledgeable, flexible and an entertaining guide. My friend and I were lucky enough to have Michel as our private guide - 1 day Jaffa/Tel Aviv and 2 days Jerusalem. Although definitely not enough time, Michel ensured we saw, did and ate sufficiently to obtain a comprehensive overview of such a diverse country. We met Michel as a guide and 3 days left as friends. Highly recommend Michel as THE Guide to have for Israel.
Michel was a great guide very knowledgeable and informative . We first went to a point which gave great views across the desert to Jordan and the West Bank . He then gave an overview of the history and geography of Jerusalem at Mount Carmel .We then went to Bethlehem with another tour guide Issa who was again very informative about the church of the nativity . Back to Jerusalem with Michel who explained the different areas of the city before moving on to the western wall and place of Christ's crucifixion
I would not have rated him a 5 star...if there would have been more stars above the 5. Michel arranged for a truly magnificent day in Jerusalem. Not only was he very knowledgeable, he used his great sense of humor to bring stories to life. Since Michel was not allowed to travel into Palestinian Bethlehem, he arranged for a Palestinian guide, George, to tour us there. George too was amazing....perhaps the most efficient guide we have ever had as we arrived late in the day...but got to see everything
My wife and I spent four days with Michel. He was on time every morning, spent as much time at each location as we needed, never rushed us to get to another site. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the locations we visited. I am something of a history buff and had many questions concerning the sites we visited and the many events that have occurred in Israel. He was always patient and answered all of the questions I asked. I would highly recommend Michel to anyone vising Israel.
I can't say enough good things about our experience with Michel. We covered so much ground in two days and never felt rushed. His passion and love for Israel were evident in his sharing of the history and the present day life there. He made sure all of our needs and desires were met including corned beef on rye which obviously is not a thing in Israel! We all 4 felt he went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent experience.
