Wonderful Tour
Lauren W, 04-01-2023
We spent the day touring with David at multiple spots around the Sea of Galilee and it was very enjoyable. He is an excellent guide that was friendly, knowledgeable and informative. His knowledge of the Bible and Israel was very impressive. We recommend David and hope our paths cross with him again.
!Best private tour of Nazareth, Galilee region, Haifa

David is awesome and we highly recommend doing a private tour with him! I was traveling with my parents and he took everyone's preferences into consideration. He was flexible going from site to site and can give you the best story telling and detail, if you are into that, and if your parents want just some of the highlights, he can do that too. He knows Israel extremely well and can help guide you to your interests and can go deep in any area you choose. He brought us to fabulous locations and we really enjoyed our time with him. It's a rare find to have a private guide that is so thoughtful, kind, interesting, and knows all the best restaurants (and mundane details such as bathroom stops). Don't hesitate to book!
Incredible tour of Israel

We were so lucky to book a day with David. What are Shipp had last minute changes to the itineraries, and so our pre-booked excursion was canceled. We were able to see the great reviews David had and worked with him. He got everything arranged and was extremely flexible with our crazy schedule. He was able to cater the trip to what we wanted to see and more. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Would happily do more tours with him in the future when we come back!
A fun day with the baby at the Sea of Galilee!

David was a wonderful tour guide. Very knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with! We had a baby on the tour as well and David made sure to accommodate him as well. Thank you, David!
Highlight of our trip to Israel

We had an amazing private tour with David in the north. It was really the highlight of our trip to Israel. David has a deep knowledge that he shares on his tours, it is not simply repeating information like other tours. If I were in Israel longer, I would book more tours with him. And if I come back to Israel, I will plan another tour with him.
