I am a 5th generation descendant of one of the families that founded Neve Tzedek, the first Jewish neighborhood outside of Jaffa.

The stories of the first days of Tel Aviv have been told and re-told in my family for the past 105 years.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in The History and Geography of Israel as well as Business Administration.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge and making sure that my visitors get to see the highlights of each place; this ensures that we will get to enjoy our time together everywhere we go. I have been guiding in Israel and entertaining visitors from all over the world, touring the sites and discovering the history of the land of Israel - the Holy Land.

I was born in Tel Aviv of 1957, into a family with routs that reach deep into the heart of Israeli history. I am a certificated tour guide, including a license for "Eshkol" – drive for hire. I guide in Israel in English and Hebrew.

Before I became a tour guide, I held different positions in Israeli companies dealing with management, import and purchase.

I now work as a guide in Israel because of my love to the country and its heritage. I have been exploring this country from Dan, far up north to Eilat in the south since my childhood, and so my hobby and love became my profession. I love working with visitors of all ages and groups of all sizes, and can adapt any tour to the specific needs or interests of my guests.

Naturally, the most-requested tours are those of Jaffa, Jerusalem, The Dead Sea and Galilee but I can offer my clients much deeper encounters with the past, present and maybe even the future of Israel.

I am open to discuss all options in order to help you carry out your dream.
I guide Delegations, Privet tours, outdoor activities, 4x4 tours and wine tours. Often in Israel it's all about culture and society: Jews, Muslims and Christians on the one hand, and understanding other minorities on the other hand.
I guide and help with family events like weddings and bar mitzvahs. I guide in the Negev and Eilat, and even Jordan is an option. This ensures that you'll get to maximize your time and enjoy it to the fullest everywhere we go.

There are many different ways to travel: One can walk, fly or drive and even travel by boat. Most of us do it daily without paying any attention to the view on the way: people, nature, culture and other things.

With me you will not just go from one place to the other, we will look at Israel from inside, trying constantly to ask questions, trying to learn and understand: Why have so many countries been involved here? How are trees for Africa growing here? Why are there so many minorities in Israel?

History, Geography. Architecture, Nature, Culture, Economics and Arts are just a partial list of the fields that I will share with you.

My private tour option includes a high class car to accommodate your needs and it, of course, fully insured. I can offer a variety of cars in any standards and size up to 15 passengers – just ask me for a special quotation for "Eshkol" services.
