Hi!
I am Itamar, a tour guide since 2000. Born and raised in Israel but fluent in English and Spanish.
Since my childhood I was attracted to go and explore my country, by travelling, hiking and reading about it. After my military service in the inteligence forces I started my tour guide course - an amazing experience and one of the best decisions of my life. However, my curiosity didn't stop there, so I continued my studies, graduating my bachelor degree in Biology and environmental studies and my Master in Urban Planning.
After working some years in the department for national infrastructure planning and later on teaching science in school, I decided it's about time to go back to what I allways loved to do - tour guiding.
Today I focus on tours in Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv and natural and archaeological sites across the country. In Jerusalem I guide mostly in the old city, where I like to show the common elements of the 3 monotheisitic religions related to to the city and also the rich flavours of the city. In Tel-Aviv I like to introduce the people with the urban planning and architecture of this young city. In the rest of the countrey I like to show my groups the beauties of the nature of the country and it's diverse ancient cultures.

Highly recommended!
Top guide, we had a private tour for 2 (couple from Italy and Germany). Itamar is not only knowledgeable about Jerusalem: he also has a very good education on history, religions (all), traditions, and understanding of the world and life in its multifaceted ways/aspects.

Unforgettable Journey: Itamar's Expertise and Knowledge Make All the Difference!
Itamar, our tour guide in Israel, provided an unforgettable experience for our group of 35 students. His vast knowledge, storytelling, and charismatic personality made the trip exceptional. From exploring historical landmarks like Jerusalem, Jaffa, and Masada, to discovering hidden gems like the waterfalls in En Gedi, Itamar ensured an engaging and flawlessly organized tour. He even accommodated our group's request for an extra-curricular trip to the Dead Sea on our free days. I highly recommend Itamar for an enriching and thoroughly enjoyable visit to Israel.
