I can't even being to thank Itamar and how much he did for me over a 10 day period. All the things I learned, from the stories and history to laughing till it hurts and exploring till my legs were too tired to move... For showing me all the beauty of his homeland and treating me like family. The adventure never had a dull moment! He went far and beyond a tour guide, forever grateful that we met and that I cannot only call him the best guide but a friend for life! If you ever plan or want to go to Israel for an experience you won't regret, Itamar is the guy you want by your side!

If you are coming to Isreal, you need a tour guide, and Itamar is your man! I have traveled all over the world and had tour guides in many places, but Itamar was one of the best. He is extremely knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor, and moves at a pace that is right for you. We wanted a half day tour of the Old City, and his was easy to schedule and the right price. Look no further, you've found your guide!

Itamar was a fabulous tour guide, very highly recommend him. We did two days in Jerusalem and two days in the surrounding area. He is extremely knowledgeable and does a particularly great job with putting all the locations and history into context so you understand why things are important and special. In addition we were travelling with 6 kids ages 5-12 and he did a phenomenal job keeping them interested and involved, even bringing costumes and props and having the kids act out different events and activities.

We had the best time touring with Itamar! He is such a knowledgeable guide and made our tours so fun. He is well-connected in the city which meant he knew of great excursions that were not known to many and which we got to experience - that was very special. As Christians, we were looking for an Israeli guide who was local but who knew the Bible - Itamar knew more than we did about both the Old & New Testaments. He was able to compare and contrast Judaism with Christianity in a way that made our learning experience so enhanced. We hope to return and tour with Itamar again soon! Ps. - if you are looking for a taste of Itamar’s tours, search ‘Itamar Ben David’ on Youtube and you will find many great videos of his.

Best tour I ever had in Israel! I've done multiple tours in Jerusalem and Itamar is an amazing guide. His crazy knowledge about the city and history is mind blowing, and he conveys it in an informative and entertaining way.
Me and my guests from the US learned so much in this trip, and I would recommend any person coming to Jersualem to go with Itamar.
