What my travelers say

Amy Rosenfeld, Chicago, Illinois

This was our first journey to Israel, and it exceeded all our expectations. Ofer was amazing from the start, helping us plan a tour that matched exactly what we wanted. He put together an itinerary that covered everything on our list and then some more.
The highlight of the trip was... definitely the bike ride from the Golan Heights down to the Sea of Galilee. It was such a cool experience! Ofer made the whole family feel super comfortable, especially our two teenagers, who connected with him right away.
We learned so much about Israel’s history and culture, and Ofer made it fun and interesting the whole way.

Ben and Debbie Katz, Atlanta, Georgia

We just got back from our 12-day Israel Tour and we’re all ready to go back. Ofer Zemach is the best guide- his attention to details and knowledge of both Jewish and Christian history is brilliant, and most importantly, ...you knew he really enjoyed his job. We brought back memories for a lifetime and can’t recommend Ofer enough.

Exploring Israel’s northern coastline with Ofer was an absolute joy! From the ancient ruins of Caesarea to the stunning grottoes of Rosh Hanikra, he made every stop fascinating and unforgettable for our whole family. Ofer is also an excellent driver, and his comfortable touring van made the journey even more enjoyable.

My husband and I are architects, and during our short visit to Tel Aviv, we wanted an architecture-focused tour. Ofer Zemach came highly recommended, and he absolutely delivered! As stylish and iconic as Tel Aviv’s Bauhaus buildings, Ofer kept us captivated with fascinating architectural insights and took us through streets filled with buildings that truly tell the city’s story. This tour was both inspiring and unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and are so glad we chose Ofer for this amazing experience!
