Client Testimonials

"I'd highly recommend Emmanuel to anyone who wants a customized tour of the Old City. Everything was new to me, but he also managed to find things that my cousin, the repeat visitor, had never known before."


Jason
"Boutique tour indeed! Jun 2023 • Solo I feel like I just made a lifelong friend in Emmanuel. Eight hours walking the streets of Jerusalem, not only stopping at all of the expected sites, but the hidden corners that will create unique life long memories. He’ll introduce you to specific shopkeepers in his inner circle that are more interested in getting to know you than to try to sell you some trinket. I can’t wait to return with my family to meet him and learn about the city through his eyes."


Todd M
"Our family of five (two adults, three kids 18,12 and 7) did a two day walking tour of the Old City and surrounding area with Emmanuel. The whole experience was outstanding."



Sarah
"Emmanuel is the best! May 2023 • Friends Such a fun tour. We started at the Mount of Olives and Emmanuel showed us so many diverse sites, be it political, Christian, Muslim, Jewish. Around every corner was something interesting. He knows ALOT and is really good at explaining things to people of all backgrounds whether they have no familiarity with the subject or have a PhD in it. Thank you so much!"



Alan T
"Emmanuel was knowledgeable, entertaining and kept the interest of such a diverse group. Jerusalem is a city with so much history and so many secrets and the right guide can be the difference between boredom and enlightenment."
