The cliff top fortress of Masada has important religious and historical significance, and a visit here is essential to understanding Judaism and its place in modern-day Israel. Take a private Masada tour and unlock the fascinating stories preserved at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Perched on a rocky plateau, Masada is best known as the stronghold where Jewish rebels and their families held off a Roman siege for months before committing suicide rather than surrendering. Walk the fortress walls for spectacular views of the Dead Sea, tour the well-preserved royal palace, the thermal baths and the museum. Don't forget to view the storerooms and water collection systems.

Photographers should visit in the morning or evening for softer light. The physically fit - and adventurous - can arrange a tour that starts hiking before dawn…the reward is a spectacular sunrise. For those unable to hike, a gondola is available. So wear a hat, drink lots of water, and enjoy your private Masada tour!

Private Tour of the Churches around the Sea of Galilee

Would you like to walk in the footsteps of Jesus and trace where he lived and saved for the three years of his ministry? If so this is the perfect tour for you!

I will introduce you to the life of Jesus, and we will travel back in time to see where he performed some of his miracles.

We will see the spot where he fed the 5000, where he lived, where he gave the sermon on the mountain, where he met the disciples and where he met them again after the resurrection.

If you ever wondered why he chose this area to live and preach after he left Nazareth then I will be glad to guide you through this important place. As well as being a tour guide I also hold a degree in Theology.

A Local's Culinary Day Tour of the Galilee

I believe that in order to eat properly in the Galilee, to encounter the authentic, real-life atmosphere of Israel's green North, it has to be done with and by locals. The Galilee is my home and I want to give you an authentic taste of Galilean food and cooking in the Galilee.

I will take you to places in the Galilee that only a local would know. I can show you an organic winery that pipes classical music through the barrel room 24 hours a day.

Five km away, we can visit a flourmill that has been grinding, roasting and chopping local produce the same way for over a hundred years!

This culinary day tour includes wineries, both big and small, goat and sheep cheese dairies, specialty chocolates, a micro-brewery and more.

Nazareth by foot with a Nazarene

I would like to give you an opportunity to meet Israeli Arabs in their homes and learn about their food and culture, about Galilean cooking, how they've lived for hundreds of years and how they live today.

I'll show you a slice of Israel that is authentic, interesting and different to what most tourists see. This tour gives an in-depth view of the real Israel.

We have Druze, Moslem and Christian hosts, who exemplify the custom of 'hachnasat orchim'; warmly welcoming guests into their homes. After tea and coffee we'll have about 3 hours of hands-on preparation of traditional dishes. The menu changes seasonally. Once we have finished preparing the delicacies, we sit and enjoy our feast!

The Galilee is often described as Israel's Tuscany. The Galilee is rural, green and has top quality, locally grown produce. Olives and olive oil, fruit and vegetables have been staples since biblical days, which make Galilean cooking special and unique.

In short, the Galilee is Israel's food basket. Come and taste it!
