Old Jerusalem & Sea of Galilee tour - Thank you Yoav!

The day tour was memorable. Our tour guide Yoav Malachi was very organised and made sure to explain the landmarks before we began our day. He was very clear, knowledgeable and passionate about Jerusalem. It's rare to have a tour guide that keeps you interested from start to finish but Yoav did just that. It's hard also not to be friends with someone like Yoav. Ask for him when you book your day tour and you are sure to have a pleasant day. Yoav if you are reading this, thank you for the chillies.

YOAV MALACHI

Yoav was a wonderful tour guide. His knowledge of his beloved city is fantastic. His reverence for all of the different religious sites was greatly appreciated. If I came back to the Holy Land I would want Yoav to be my tour guide. Respectfully John Doran
