As a tour guide licensed by the Israeli ministry of tourism I get to indulge my enthusiasm and passion for the Land of Israel, and I'd like to share that passion with you. Originally from the United States, I've lived most of my adult life in Israel - this is my home; I'm proud of it and I'd like to show it to you. My previous career - 20 years as a police officer in the investigations branch has given me a unique understanding and insight into Israeli life. Let me help you create a visit which will be truly memorable, something suited to your personal interests, pace and style. See and feel how the Bible is woven into the history, culture, peoples and religions of Israel, both ancient and modern. Walk where the Israelite patriarchs, kings and common folk walked, or gain a singular understanding of Israeli military history. See a stunning desert sunset, travel the Galilee or sample the excitement of Tel-Aviv, have lunch with Jewish family in Jerusalem or a Druze family on the Golan Heights - the possibilities are endless. Of course you are on vacation, so just plain fun won't be neglected. You can get in water sports, camping, food and wine, or spend some time lazing on a Dead Sea beach. So get in touch - a great tour is waiting for you - Israel Ministry of Tourism, guide license no. 10966. BA International Relations, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. 2nd Temple-era Jerusalem, City of David Institute.

A journey to Israel can be a journey to the center of your faith. Walk with Jesus through the Land of Israel for an unforgettable spiritual experience. Stand where He stood for the Sermon on the Mount and see the sites of His ministry in Galilee. See Paul's dwelling at Capernaum, the baptismal site in the Jordan river and an ancient fishing vessel which sailed the sea of Galilee in the time of Jesus. Visit the holy sites of Nazareth and Bethlehem and of course, the crowning jewel - Jerusalem. Walk in the garden of Gethsemane, enter the dungeon of the high priest Caiaphas and stand at the site of the crucifixion and resurrection. Did you know that, as in ancient times, wooden boats still ply the waters of the Sea of Galilee? I'll take you sailing. I feel a special attachment to this tour - having grown and lived closely with various Christian communities here and abroad I believe I can give you a truly unique perspective on Christian life and experience - now and in the past - in Israel today.
Day 1: Jerusalem - Mount of Olives, Garden of Gethsemane, Churh of the Messiah, Church of the Redeemer, the Holy Sepulcher (or the Garden Tomb). - Lunch in the Christian quarter - Dungeon of the hight priest Caiaphas, room of the Last Supper. - Drive north through the Jordan valley, overnight at a Galilee hotel or guest house. Day 2: The Galilee - Overview of the Sea of Galilee from the Arbel Cliffs, site of the Sermon on the Mount, Tabha - site of the miracle of the fish and loaves, Capernaum (the town of Jesus) and the house of St. Paul, site of the Gaderene Swine miracle, Jordan river baptismal site. Drive time: From Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem it's about an hour. The scenic ride to the through the Jordan valley to the Galilee takes about two and a quarter hours. Please note - I can create a customized tour for you if you are more than 4 people or would like for this tour to start in Jerusalem, Haifa or any other location in Israel.
