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 was simply wonderful! She answered all of my endless questions prior to booking, and really catered to to my group of 8, age ranging from 5 - 70+. Helen had also arranged for a private van to pick us up from the cruise terminal, who was also very punctual. The day tour itself was very informative, and Helen clearly knew what she was doing. She tried to keep the kids as engaged as possible while also allowing us to go at our own pace. We truly had such a wonderful time on the tour! Thank you so much!

We are so thankful we found Helen! She's super knowledgable and highly engaging! During our 8-hour tour, she helped unpack Jerusalem's complicated history with insightful and often witty explanations. My entire family appreciated how she fielded all our questions and connected with us on a personal level. Can't wait to tour with her again! Helen is AMAZING!

Our guide, Helen C., provided an excellent tour of Jerusalem's religious communities, she explained the history and differences between each religion and answered our many questions as we went along. Her knowledge of the history was amazing and she was able to explain things clearly and concisely, we would highly recommend Helen C. and would rate her as 5 out of 5.

We rate Helen 5+ Helen has great insight to the history we don't read in books. She made our experience come alive through her wonderful storytelling! Her keen knowledge of back alleyways and key sights of Jerusalem were incredibly impressive! We highly recommend Helen as a tour guide!
