Shalom, my name is Shai, and I help people connect to The Land of Israel using their six senses. So what is the sixth sense, you're asking? Follow me, and I'll help you to find out. . . As a private tour guide, I create tailor-made tours according to the wishes of Jewish and Christian tourists. Special VIP treatment for businessmen coming from abroad. Even a single day can become a great experience. My latest book (2025), 'A Bridge to Your Roots,' connects the Bible to Israel's geography and delves into the social, religious, and historical backdrop of Jesus's time during the late Second Temple period. This isn’t just a travelogue—it’s a spiritual journey. Discover the depths of the Bible by connecting its stories to the geography of the Holy Land in its original setting. Uncover Israel’s rich history and the deeper meanings of biblical words through their Hebrew origins that illuminate the foundational meanings of biblical words. Inspired by Mark Twain’s 1867 journey, this book retraces his footsteps while uncovering hidden gems he missed. I create tour experiences and not merely sightseeing tours. . . Licensed tour guide in English and Hebrew -Incoming Tourism, Pilgrimage, off-the-beaten-path places… VIP special tours with luxury cars.

Overview of your Tel Aviv tour

We meet at the meeting point. We tour Old Jaffa, a city more than 4000 years old. Tour the famous Jaffa clock tower, the cobbled alleys, art galleries, and the old port. We visit the historic core of Tel Aviv, established in 1909, including mosaics depicting the history of Jaffa, where most of the founders of Tel Aviv came from. Walk along hectic Rothschild Blvd. See some fine houses from the 1920s, some built in eclectic style some Bauhaus style (what made Tel Aviv a 'World Heritage Site' by UNESCO). Pass by the "Independence Hall", where the state of Israel was born, in 1948. Visit The Carmel Market - an open-to-the-sky market. Once a fresh fruits and vegetable market, having nowadays many ethnic food places. (closed on Saturdays!) Only on Tuesday/Friday can we visit the Nachlat Binyamin artisan market. Only the artisan who makes their products can sell here. Time permitting: Visit Sarona, a Templer colony that was built by German Protestants in 1871. It was renovated lately.
