Your Private Tour Guide for Tailor-made tours in Israel

Discover Israel through the eyes of an English-speaking tour guide with more than 35 years of experience. Hi, I’m Motti, and since 1990 I’ve been leading private tours for groups, couples, families, and cruise passengers who want to explore this land with depth, warmth, and flexibility.

Whether you’re looking for a Jerusalem tour through the Old City’s ancient alleys, a Dead Sea & Masada private tour across the Judean Desert, or a scenic Galilee and Nazareth tour, each experience is tailor-made to your pace and interests. My custom made tours are designed for travelers who prefer comfort, personal attention, and meaningful stories.

If you’re arriving by cruise, I also offer private shore excursions from Haifa and Ashdod ports, including day trips to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and the Galilee. Everything is arranged personally by me – transportation, itinerary, and timing – so you can enjoy Israel without stress or crowds.

As a licensed tour guide, I combine deep knowledge of history, geography, and culture with humor and a friendly approach. My clients often say that touring with me feels like visiting Israel with family. From Jewish heritage tours to Christian Holy Land tours, from family-friendly adventures to Bar and Bat Mitzvah private tours, every journey is unique and personal, I’ll make sure you see more in less time – at your own pace.

No deposits, no prepayments – just honesty, flexibility, and full service from start to finish.

Sample Private Tours

Each tour is tailor-made, but here are a few popular ideas to inspire you:

One-Day Tour to Nazareth & the Sea of Galilee – Christian Holy Land Journey

Your Christian day tour begins with a drive to the Galilee region, in northern Israel-an area rich in biblical history and the heart of Jesus’ early life and ministry. Our first stop is Nazareth, the city where Jesus grew up and lived most of His life. Here we visit the magnificent Church of the Annunciation, the site where the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus. This is one of the most important and beloved Christian sites in the Holy Land. Read more...

This is what travelers say about touring with me

Motti provided an ELITE Israel experience that is fun and informative for the whole family (from grandparents down to kids under 12), and most importantly, SAFE! He is an absolute professional, a bottomless well of knowledge, a wealth of experience, and an overall exemplary human being.

Touring Israel with Moti was an exceptional experience, providing both deep insights into the country's treasures and a strong sense of safety throughout. Despite any preconceived notions, I never felt the country was at war; instead, I immersed myself in its rich history and culture without worry, thanks to our guide's attentive care. Moti went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and safety, especially considering I was traveling with a 10-month-old baby.

Motti is a fantastic guide. Certainly, one of the best I've ever experienced. He went beyond informative with clear and detailed history and context for each of the sites. He readily adapted to individual needs of participants during the day. Motti exceeded all my expectations of what exemplifies a PERFECT GUIDE.

With Motti you get a reliable, friendly and experienced guide who has an incredible amount of knowledge. My tour in Jerusalem was the best guided tour i have ever had. There wasn't a question that couldn't be answered and lots of laughter.

Motti is the most amazing tour guide! My in-laws, my husband and I toured with him for a week and we’re so impressed. He is kind, caring and extremely knowledgeable! We learned so much on the trip. He is the best guide I’ve ever had, and I’ve been on several tours. He took into account everything we wanted to do and even our personalities to give us a very unique and personal tour.
