Itinerary is flexible
I can guide small groups, up to 6, with my comfortable Toyota Land Cruiser, anywhere in Israel. I have a specialization in Christianity and I am very familiar with the Negev Desert. I can also accompany you to Petra in Jordan. If your group is larger than 6 I can arrange transportation for that size of the group.
Since I moved from the United States to Israel 40 years ago, I have spent a great deal of my time hiking and touring this beautiful country that is unparalleled in the richness of its history. I want to share this passion with you and show you the natural and cultural wonders of Israel. I promise you excellent service and an unforgettable experience that will be custom planned according to your particular interests and needs. A private guided tour is the best way to see Israel!
