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.

This is my second tour with Itamar (the first was around 2018), he is the most amazing tour guide, he designed the tour in a different way this time so as to visit places we did not have time to visit in the first time and with all his amazing knowledge & humor he made the tour an unforgettable experience once more. I love his humor and his all-inclusive approach to the different cultures & traditions. In the end he proposed us the best (Syrian I think) restaurant, it was the best way to close our amazing day. Thank you itamar!

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.

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.

Itamar was incredible!! This was my third time to Israel and I learned more from him in a day then the first two times combined! He was fun, knowledgeable, and flexible with our kids. My kids loved hearing the stories just as much as us. Hire him!!
