I'm knowledgeable, experienced and passionate about Israel and would be delighted to show you the country. I was born in Israel but grew up in Ottawa, Canada, so I am a native English speaker. I have lived in Jerusalem with my family for more than 25 years and have been a licensed guide for more than 15 years. Click on "Read Reviews" below to hear what other clients have said about touring with me. Covid-19: I have had 2 vaccine shots plus a 3rd & 4th booster as recommended by the Israel Ministry of Health. Israel is a deeply fascinating and varied country, as your guide I'll make sure you get the most out of your trip. I have created a set of special tours for ToursByLocals combining Archaeology, Art and Architecture; Religion, History and Culture. Here is a list of tours that I specialize in (if you can't find them on the TbL site please message me for more information). Jerusalem - 4 quarters & 3 religions Mount of Olives Jerusalem's Haram el-Sharif/Temple Mount, Religion & Politics City of David/ancient Jerusalem & Hezekiah's tunnel Jerusalem's Israel museum Herodium Masada En Gedi & Dead Sea Beit She'an - Roman Decapolis city Sussita/Hippos Around Sea of Galilee where Jesus lived & taught Caesarea, King Herod's port city Akko/Acre Mount Gerizim Crusader sites like Appolonia, Belvoir, Castelet, . . . Jericho Susiya Makhtesh (craters in Negev) Nabatean Spice Route I also take people "off the beaten track" into unique nature sites in Israel, walking and hiking , like Nahal Og, Wadi Qelt, Nahal Peratzim. I am also a photographer so if you are interested in seeing the country through a camera lens I can take you to unique and special places where you will be able to get great photos. I'm flexible and orient each tour to your interests. When you hire me as your guide it's your tour and it is at your pace. I am happy and able to explain Jewish, Christian and Muslim customs and traditions whatever your religious beliefs. Licensed tour guide, Israel Ministry of Tourism Licensed chauffeur
