A great tour! Very informative. Beyond what I expected. The tour guide was excellent and this history was amazing.

Harley is a very knowledgeable guide. I was able to customize my tour in advance (for an extra fee) to see the underground tunnels by the Western Wall, the City of David, and the tomb of King David, all of which had not been covered during my previous tour of Jerusalem. From what I understand, tickets for the underground Western Wall tunnels need to be secured days in advance by the company.

We did 3 tours with Genesis Boutique Travel. All three were so well organized and fascinating. Our main tour guide was a gentleman named Michel. Taking a tour with Michel was like having your own private college professor on Everything Israel! He knows the layers of this land’s history like he knows the back of his own hand. He starts each topic with the historical context, gives everyone’s perspective along the way, and then weaves in his own family history. He answered hundreds of questions by my family and then threw in a few jokes on the side. What impressed my family the most was the humanity and honesty that he brought to our discussions. We would recommend having Michel as anyone’s tour guide! One of the tours was to the Magal Kibbutz, and there, also, we learned so much about the history of that unique institution. And we learned the secret to the “blooming of the desert,” namely “drip irrigation.” We spent about 3 hours on the kibbutz so we also got to observe how it works today. Our kibbutz guide, Michael, was a great guide and inspirational person.

My brother and I were shown around Jerusalem by Shraga Ben Yosef. He is an absolute icon and had so much knowledge. We loved how he tailored the tour to our interest but still provided an unbiased and well rounded tour of Jerusalem. 3 hours was the perfect amount of time to get a background of the city and then do more exploring in the afternoon. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned so much.

My family of 5 and I, from Canada, had arranged 3 tours with Sharona and Genesis Boutique Travel while we were in Israel over the Christmas season. Our first tour was from Haifa to Nazareth and The Sea of Galilee and surrounding area (Capernaum, Tabgha, Jordan River). Our guide Liran was very knowledgeable, and informative of the historical biblical past, and the present situation in the area and the sites we visited. We highly recommend him. Our second tour was from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea. We visited the Dead Sea (to float), Qumran, Ein Gedi, Masada. Our guide Hillel was also a wealth of information and very knowledgeable about the Dead Sea, the scrolls found there, the archeology of the area and also the historical significance of what occurred there 2000 years ago. It was amazing. At 78 Hillel is amazing. Our third tour was from Eilat to Petra. Visiting this wonder of the ancient world was awesome, our guide Naser was very engaging, as humorous as the previous guides and very knowledgeable about Petra and the history and current situation in Jordan and especially of the archeology and historical significance of Petra. The carved monuments in Petra are a site to behold. All of these tours were very well planned, with very capable, informative, engaging, and friendly guides with reliable transportation. We can’t thank Sharona enough for that experience and her management and expertise in arranging our tours. In addition she helped us out by providing transport from Haifa to Jerusalem on a day that the trains and buses weren’t running (shabbat).
