ABOUT MYSELF
Shalom and welcome to Israel!
My name is Yaron (Jaron) Hovav, 33 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!

MoreWe just returned from a wonderful trip to Israel, made especially memorable by Yaron. Our group of 10 toured with him and his driver Saeed for about a week. He provided a nice, comfortable Mercedes van. Yaron is very personable and fun, and very fluent in English and Hebrew. His knowledge of his country is extensive. He discussed history, geography, religion, architecture, politics, and culture. We now have a much better understanding of the region, not filtered by our local news media. We toured many areas of the country from north to south, and felt very safe in all areas. We feel very strongly that having a local guide is essential to maximizing the value of a trip. They will provide information not found in any guide book. I would highly recommend contacting Yaron if you are planning a trip to Israel.

MoreI honestly feel my trip to Israel would not have been the same with another guide. Yaron made it special with his knowledge and love of his country. He also broadened my understanding of the history of Israel as well as the religious history regardless of your denomination. Yaron’s recommendations of restaurants was awesome as most of us are foodies and love good food. Yaron was fun, personable and patient with our group of 10. I highly recommend you plan your trip to Israel with Yaron. at: myIsraelguide.com Debbie H
