My way:
How is my way different from other tour guides with numerous years of experience? Many wise people have tried to answer this question yet very few have succeeded. The main difference is attitude. I don’t try to teach my guests, and don’t test their ability to absorb information. I just ensure that their visit to Israel is a memorable experience. That’s the difference! An experience instead of a history or archeology lesson… Of course, when and where it is relevant and pertinent, we’ll discuss history, archeological findings, as well as events. But my way – as part of the experience, not as a study tour. Why? Because it is boring. And if you and I are bored – we don’t enjoy the experience. A visit to Israel should be an experience with unique memories that inspires guests to return to Israel, and not a study tour. We will visit interesting sites, but will embellish and season it with stops at an interesting winery where we can taste cheese and wine, or we’ll rise to see the sunrise in Masada at 4:00 with a hot cup of coffee in our hands, and we’ll even make a special detour to an out-of-the-way alleyway in Abu Gosh to taste the wonderful, original Abu Shukri humus.
My approach is informal - I recommend comfortable clothes, don’t adhere to a fixed route (although I recommend a basic plan), am happy when asked questions, and am very flexible and open to changes. Yet I expect my guests to blend in with the spirit of the various sites, for instance wearing suitable clothes in religious sites, proper dress in restaurants, and the like… and most of all – respect for others, respect for the environment and preserving the cleanliness of the vehicle and all the sites we visit.
