With a guide and a map you’re ready to discover Israel.

 

Shalom. My name is Shmuel Browns and I am a tour guide, licensed by the Israel Ministry of Tourism. When you hire me, you get a knowledgeable and experienced guide who is passionate about Israel. I can show you the whole country, from Dan to Beersheva all the way to Eilat. I am a native English speaker and fluent in Hebrew.

“… a very professional and dedicated guide – Shmuel was super – he went above and beyond what was expected and left us with one of the most beautiful days of memories of our trip – He was patient and kind and incredibly knowledgeable! An exceptional guide who I highly recommend!!!”

“Please put our comment on your web site that the tour was excellent, full of very interesting information, you led it at our pace and we learned so much. You are truly an expert in all things Herod. The personal attention to our needs and the warm friendship made the day so memorable. Oh! and by the way the day was great value for money.” Ray and Beryl Briddon (UK)
“Let me say it this way: in 40 years of being a travel agent and going on tours, I had the best, most informative and coherent tour, ever. Once again, thank you so much.” Harold Silverman (NY)
