Overview
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. We will be travelling in my 2021 Toyota Landcruiser- a comfortable and safe touring car that can take us anywhere. The 9 day itinerary is an example of the kind of tour I can give. You can customize your tour to any number of days and to any destination in Israel. Entrance fees to national parks can be discounted by purchasing a multisite pass. A private guided tour is the best way to see Israel! I also can accompany and guide you in Petra in Jordan.
