ABOUT MYSELF
Shalom and welcome to Israel!
My name is Yaron (Jaron) Hovav, 36 years old, born, raised and based today in Jerusalem. I’m married and I have two beautiful daughters. I have a BA in communications and a Licensed Tour Guide certificate from the Israeli Ministry of Tourism.
I have always been a ‘freak’ of history and geography and in the last 10 years I have turned it into my profession. I would be delighted to take you through the streets of Jerusalem, Masada & Dead Sea, Tel Aviv & Old Jaffa, Sea of Galilee & Golan Heights – and talk with you about history, archeology, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, geopolitics, wars and what not.
The fact that I am a former Concierge at the Waldorf Astoria becomes very handy when it comes to Hi-End tourism, not only in terms of luxuries guided tours but also in terms of consulting about activities around Israel, recommending the best restaurants, car services and the most important thing – design an exclusive itinerary just for you.
contact me and l will take it from there!

MoreI’ve had the pleasure of joining Yaron’s Jerusalem tour in 2017 and had such an amazing time that I reached out for another tour this year again. Yaron’s extensive knowledge, personable nature, and passion for history made our tours an unforgettable experience. It was clear that Yaron was extremely familiar with Jerusalem and was able to customize the tour to our interests and also adapt it on the fly to give us a local’s experience. We had to an amazing time touring the Christian sites of Jerusalem with Yaron and learning so much from him - we are already planning our next visit to Jerusalem and of course our next tour with Yaron. I cannot recommend him enough, I don’t think I’ll ever use another tour guide in Israel.
