My family of 6 and I went on a private tour with Levi for two separate tours on two separate days: Jerusalem and the Dead Sea, and the Annunciation Church + Capernaum + Jordan tour. I can honestly say that he is one of the best guides I’ve ever had spanning our travels to over thirty different countries with many different guides. And he is also one of the most interesting people you will ever meet with a fascinating backstory. All that aside, Levi ensured everything was smooth each day. He picked us up at the front of our AirBnb each morning so all we had to do was show up. The man has an encyclopedic knowledge of Israeli and biblical history. Even though we spent several hours in the car with him the time flew by as he either was pointing out various landmarks and sights as we passed them. Or just tell us stories from his fascinating life. He was very patient with our questions and also patient when our kids were fooling around. If you want the best private guide in Israel, Levi is your man. One thing I also want to mention. At the time of this review, end of Feb, the sites were virtually empty. After viewing some YouTube videos I was expecting hordes of people but quite the opposite. At no time did I feel unsafe or in danger. All this to say, now is a great time to visit Israel.

Levi is the most knowledgeable and hard working tour guide we have ever had, and so respectful and honest in sharing his perspectives. He came highly recommended by a good friends and I will in turn recommend him to others.
5 stars isn’t enough … Levi was an amazing guide! We joked he was the King of Israel as he knew everyone! Great knowledge and history on all things. Highly recommend if you only have so little time and want to maximize sight seeing.
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful day with Levi. He is so friendly and knowledgeable and has all the connections to make your tour experience perfect. I would highly recommend and will absolutely be booking again on our next trip to Israel.
Levi was an incredible tour guide who made us feel very welcome. He was tremendously knowledgeable and helped us create an itinerary to fill our needs and memories to last a lifetime! Would highly recommend.
I definitely recommend this tour. You will get the best experience and will enjoy what you paid for.
Expensive for what you get. Also, when asked, the Palestinian guide stated he did not get any of the money from the tour company so we tipped him a lot extra. Not sure if that is true but if it is that is not right. Also going to Bethlehem on Christmas Eve morning was a terrible idea given the enormous crowds and traffic. I feel the tour company should have known that and advised accordingly. On the upside the Palestinian driver and guide worked very hard. Also main driver/guide was very accommodating in terms of timing an altering trip due to time constraints and our wishes.
Wassim was great! He was very knowledgeable and kind. He went above and beyond for me and my family. I would definitely recommend this tour!
We had a fantastic day, Levi knew so much about the country it was fascinating. We never felt rushed but managed to fit so much in. He always managed to find the quietareas so we really had the best experience.
Overall was a great tour, we had a great overview of Jerusalem and Bethlehem in 1 day. Our guide was very knowledgeable. He had an answer to all of our questions. He was flexible we the tour itinerary, as we wanted to add an extra stop to the Western Wall, for an extra payment. Levi was very friendly and courteous. Some improvements to the tour will be: - To drive a little bit slower or ask the passengers if they are comfortable with the speed, as we are a little bit nervous with high speeds. - Lunch should be included in the price or it should be flexible, as we wanted to have free time instead of having lunch.
Levi was very knowledge and very personable. We were able to see everything we wanted to see and didn’t feel like we missed out on anything. Would highly recommend.
A fascinating trip to Betlehem Jerusalem and the dead sea. Levi was so knowledgeable and passionate about the country. A really enjoyable day out and well worth having a private tour.
We had an amazing day with Levy. He is a published author on the region and his insights and connections made our journey to the Holy Land a magical one. He knew how to get us into special locations that others could not access and answered my endless questions about history, the current politics and so much more. Highly recommend!
All day long I enjoyed a perfect organization of this tour and a lot of interesting information was provided for all locations we visited. Levi did really a great job to show me this amazing country ! And the best: we had so much fun and good talks. I really appreciate his flexibility for a personalized trip. Levi, you can be sure you created unforgettable and true memories - toda raba !
Levi was quite professional, patient, informative and witty during our experience. It was a delight to see him engage in "hello's" with so many people in our path. As for the tour, the Dead Sea is, just that, a big salty mud swamp. Be sure and take towels and something to wash off with. The highlights of where Jesus lived and died was amazing if a bit touristy. My advice: read the gospel accounts of Jesus' end of life then take the tour. It will hit you directly in the heart. Scripture in full color!
From the moment we were collected from our hotel Levi was courteous, fun and extremely knowledgeable about both the tour destinations & everything about the region in general. His great sense of humour and ability to hold an intelligent conversation, meant the day passed by all too quickly. This is a man who has clearly learnt & retained a huge amount of subject matter expertise which he communicates in a natural way throughout the day. Our tour was a little rushed but this was more from our ignorance of the magnitude of history, vast distances between sights and the underestimate of the crowds. Our recommendation would be to communicate with Levi well in advance of any tour and take his advice on what is possible to accomplish given your expectations of your time. Being non religious (opposite to my husband) Levi patiently explained everything we experienced and was kind enough to tell me he was impressed with my ability to absorb all the new information from the day. We joked about me taking tours myself now I’m an expert. We would not hesitate to recommend Levi as a tour guide and will certainly seek to secure his services for any return visit.
Levi had done a wonderful job in being our guide. He is always punctual and was able to accommodate to changes to our itinerary to fit our pace. Besides being an excellent guide, Levi is very knowledgeable on all the locations that we visited and was able to give in-depth descriptions of the areas which piqued our interests and curiousities. He is able to communicate very well and generally have a good humour. On the last day, his associate Wissam guided us. He is very passionate about his work and we also had a wonderful and fun tour with him touring Old Jaffa. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will recommend Levi to anyone who wishes to engage him. - Raymond and Grace
