Eli is the most knowledgeable guide I have ever used.  He is very passionate about his country and eager to share what he knows and what life is like for the Israeli people.  He is incredibly friendly and knows the right people everywhere we go!  This enabled us to avoid the crowds and lines.  It reached the point where he would order our meals for us,  and we were thrilled!  He has  a great sense of humor which was important to us.  We greatly enjoyed our time with him and would recommend him to anyone!  

Traveling to Israel for the first time, my wife and I had heard that maybe we would need a guide, but maybe we could do it on our own. After spending six days with Eli touring Israel, I can say with certainty that one should not give it a second thought. Eli's knowledge of the country, the history of the people - of all religions, the politics, the landscape, the fauna, the food, the places to go, the people to connect with ... I can go on and on. THIS is Israel. Our time in Israel was not a mere vacation - it was an experience and one that my wife and I will remember forever . We want to share these memories with everyone we see, and Eli is the reason why. Israel has a lot of places to visit, and you can locate these places on a map and read about them in a book. But the experience and enthusiasm with which Eli brought these places to life, with small side trips and story lines made for a once-in-a-lifetime tour. We would not have known what we had missed, had it not been for Eli. Thank you so very much!!! We cannot wait to return some day soon. Bruce and Lori

THIS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE USED ELI AS A GUIDE. After our first trip to Israel we went home to research my family to uncover my Jewish origin through my Father and Grandfather. My husband and I have since converted, but there was a problem with the final hurdle which Eli with his contacts and determination sorted out!! This was the email we sent him. It says it all.......... Shalom Eli This is just to send you a heartfelt thank you for all you did for us during our trip to Israel in May. The reason for our visit was very special, and for that we also needed a very special guide to work with us ......and we found it in you! Bri'el ,my husband, is confined to a wheelchair with limited mobility which was enough to put other guides off dealing with us. Yet you managed to take us both up to the top of Masada and all around Jerusalem, which was no easy task! Also, the trip was to complete our conversion to Judaism, which needed a Mikveh (ritual immersion in flowing water) to be performed. The problem was that in the UK there is no Mikveh available for someone like Bri'el. You, with your contacts and knowledge, managed to help The Movement For Reform Judaism, to facilitate this special moment by co-ordinating with the Yardenit for us to do this in the Jordan. This is the first time that a Christian site has been used to co-ordinate a Jewish Mikveh Tevilah and was a little piece of history in the making! We also through your contacts, had the joy of planting an olive tree with you, at Neot Kedomim to celebrate our conversion and becoming part of the Jewish people.It was an emotional and wonderful moment which you also (along with the Mikveh Tevilah) managed to capture on camera for us, so we had the beautiful memories to take home. It was ten amazing, very Jewish, days to begin our journey into life as Ger Tzedek, and the days we spent with you were very much the highlight. You have so much patience with a couple whose needs are so special, and we now have the visual proof that you are able as a guide, to achieve the impossible when given a challenge!! For that we are so grateful and so is our Shul of Menorah in North Cheshire. We will meet again in Israel I am sure. Until then dear friend this is just SHALOM not goodbye!!
