10/10 Tour, 11/10 Storytelling, 12/10 Fun

Published on May, 2025

Let me preface this by saying that Gary is a 10/10 tour guide! We had so much fun with him on our little tour of the Old City in Jerusalem. We arrived a little late due to some issue with the rail in Jerusalem on that day, and though he could have easily walked away, he was waiting for us with a huge smile! He then took us around the Old City, showed us some great sights, and gave us some great pointers on where to get amazing food. Gary has got a knack for telling stories. Jerusalem, and especially the Old City, is riddled with history, and the way he tells the stories makes it all feel so alive and exciting. It’s interesting, and you just want to know more. The tour was top-notch; it was insightful, funny, and relaxed—and most importantly, it showed a deep love and respect for the city and its history. I would 100% do it again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Israel

Best Experience in the Holy Land

Published on Mar, 2025

I decided to take a Solo trip to the Holy Land just out of sheer curiosity. I came with 0 expectations and boy am I extremely grateful Gary was my guide. Firstly, there will be a crash course of history and you better be ready because it is absolutely important in understanding the holy city. Gary gave me the best highlighted facts with a thorough timeline. He provided stories of all the cultural diversity, and the most important aspect is that he was UNBIASED when explaining the diverse religions. I also had some questions of my own and he answered always without judgement and provided an informative answer. You can tell he's knowledgeable of the city and I was inspired by his passion to inform. He also gave me the best spot for Hummus which I believe was the best I've ever had. I really hope that everyone who visits Jerusalem is as lucky to have Gary as a guide. 10000000% recommend. PS: Gary is a Chicago Bears fan who is Israeli American Fun fact.

Fun, emotional, unique!

Published on Feb, 2025

Me and my friend absolutely loved this tour (both argentinians 24 yrs old). We laughed, got emotional, and felt we were locals in the old city, thanks to Gary’s unique charm, knowledge and experience with every stone and alleyway!

Unforgettable Tour with Gary the Guide – A Journey Through History and Spirit!

Published on Jan, 2025

Our tour with Gary the Guide was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, Gary provided a rich and engaging experience that brought the history and beauty of Jerusalem to life. We began with a fascinating walking tour in Old Jerusalem, exploring iconic landmarks like the Tower of David, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and even a remarkable tattoo parlor that has been creating art for 27 generations! Gary’s deep knowledge and passion for these sites made every moment both educational and inspiring. After Old Jerusalem, Gary guided us to the Mount of Olives, where the views were nothing short of breathtaking. We visited the Chapel of the Ascension, the serene Church of the Pater Noster, and the stunning Church of All Nations. Each site carried its own unique history and significance, which Gary explained with incredible clarity and enthusiasm. To wrap up the tour, we enjoyed a scenic drive and took in panoramic views of the city – a perfect way to reflect on the day’s journey. Gary’s expertise, warmth, and storytelling ability made this tour an unforgettable experience. He tailored the itinerary to our interests and ensured that we felt connected to the places we visited. If you’re considering a tour in Jerusalem, Gary is the guide you need. His knowledge, passion, and personal touch will leave you with memories to treasure for a lifetime. Thank you, Gary, for an extraordinary day!

Gary the Great and our amazing day...

Published on Jan, 2025

Our tour of Jerusalem with Gary exceeded all my expectations. His knowledge of the city, politics, religion, history, and archeology was woven together into unforgettable stories. He answered all our questions and took exceptional care of us. His love of Jerusalem and all its complexities was evident and contagious. Do not skip this tour if understanding Jerusalem is on your list.
