Had the pleasure of having Yaron show my gf and I around the Old City in Jerusalem. Fantastic knowledge of the history and the sites. Definitely recommend.

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!

MoreIf you are in Israel and need a tour guide Yaron is the guy! We were a family of 8 with a six month old and didn’t know what to expect. Yaron was amazing! He provided us a tour full of knowledge and information throughout Old Town Jerusalem. He answered all our questions and knew exactly what we wanted out of the tour. Yaron was also very patient with my family as I had three kids touring through the old town in the heat. I can’t thank him enough for all his help and for also being so accommodating. When I go back I will be sure to book him again!
