WE ARRIVED AT HAIFA ON A CRUISE SHIP TO FIND THE GUIDE ,WHO WE HAD BOOKED WITH, AND LIASED WITH, WAS SICK!! ELI TOOK OVER, SORTED OUT A BETTER ITINARY THAN WE HAD ACTUALLY PLANNED AND WE HAD THE BEST DAY EVER. READ THIS..........Hello Eli, This is just an e-mail of thank-you for all you did for us, rescuing us when our guide let us down!! If you remember, you took over when we arrived at Haifa on a cruise ship to find our private guide ill !! Perhaps it was fate, because with you we had an amazing day touring the sights of Christian Galilee, fitting in all the sights such as "the Jesus boat" the Yardenit and the Tabgha (site of the feeding of the multitudes) that we so wanted to see!! To say you only put our intended itinerary together an hour before we met was unbelievable......nearly as amazing as the restaurant you picked out for us to sample "St Peter's fish" by the lake of Galilee!! We intend to visit The Holy Land again, and if we do I really hope you can be our guide again. Next time we will book with you in the first place!! Best Wishes. "The Simpson Family"...........boy did you get some laughs from that!! (October 2013)

WE USED ELI AS A GUIDE TO GO TO BETHLEHEM AND PARTS OF JERUSALEM. WE HAD A FANTATSTIC DAY , FAR MORE MEANINGFUL AND MEMORABLE THAN GOING ON A GROUP TOUR BY BUS.THIS THE EMAIL WE SENT HIM..........Dear Eli. or perhaps we should say, as you taught us - Shalom? We just wanted to say that we have just arrived back from Israel, and wanted to thank-you so much for the lovely day we spent with you in Bethlehem. It is a place we have always dreamed of visiting, but as we told you when we first contacted you, we didn't realise that not all guides can go there with tourists. You were so knowledgable, even telling us 'English' about the origins of the story of St George and the Dragon, which we did not realise came from Bethlehem!! We are hoping to come again to Israel, so that we can spend time in Galilee. So hopefully you as our new found friend will be able to guide and tell us all about the wonderful Christian heritage in the area. We will contact you nearer the time!! Hope you like the picture??
