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.

Overview of your Tel Aviv tour

Northern Israel - Feel the connection to ancient Israel. Visit settlements from the dawn of modern Zionism, Golan Heights battlefields, a kibbutz, or simply take in the color and variety of Israel's rich ethnic patchwork, including Druze, Circassian and Arab villages. And lets not forget the wine; the unique climate and rich soil of the Galilee and the Golan make it almost inevitable that the area is famous for an internationally acclaimed wine industry. Take advantage of the some of the regional attractions, such as swimming or kayaking in the Jordan, Israel's longest cable car ride up Manara mountain for a spectacular view of Northern Israel, or perhaps just a lazy sun-filled afternoon on a Sea of Galilee beach with drink in hand. A glass of wine, anyone?

Your Tel Aviv tour itinerary

Day 1: Drive north to the Sea of Galilee, visit some of the outstanding sites in the vicinity such as the ancient town of Capernaum and the stunning cliff-side vista of Arbel. Next comes the famous Kaballa city of Tsfat (Safed), followed by a visit to one of the two Circassian villages in Israel. Wind up the day with an electric golf-cart or bicycle ride around the Hula valley nature reserve or take a cable car up Manara ridge for a view of Northern Israel and Southern Lebanon. Overnight at a Galilee hotel or guest house. Day 2: Sites visited will include the amazing Nimrod castle on the slopes of mt Hermon, the Banias nature reserve, Valley of Tears battlefield memorial, Koffee Anan overlooking the Syrian border, the ancient Um Kanatir synagogue and finally a wine tasting session at one of the local quality Golan wineries.
