MoreShelley was great. She was very helpful even before the trip figuring out what sites would be best for us, and had lots of patience. Her explanations were very insightful and interesting, woven in with her personal experience with the surrounding communities. Adumim is beautiful and even though I have lived in Israel for a number of years, I had never toured the region. Thank you!
