Gershon was a fantastic tour guide - very knowledgeable and very friendly.
He knew where, when and what to see, a truly experienced tour guide.
His enthusiasm and positive attitude made our tour of the South truly memorable and unbeatable.

Thank you very much!
Looking foward to touring more of Israel with you in the near future, when we "return home" again.

Thanks,

Gershon,
I just wanted to write you a short thank you note to let you know that we really appreciated your taking us to the North Country last Sunday.

We had a great time and accomplished all we expected to do. We enjoyed your narration and company.

Have a K’siva V’Chasima Tova and much Hatzlacha and Nachas from your entire family.

Our day spent with Gershon was the highlight of our visit to Israel.

From the first point of contact, Gershon went out of his way to provide an itinerary that would suit our needs and budget, including organising a baby seat for our 1 year old daughter.

The tour itself was outstanding, laden with biblical verses, stunning views, and local organic delicacies. Gershon is an authentic character, warm and personable, whose wisdom and experience contribute greatly to him being a professional tour guide.

I would recommend anyone who wants a genuine Shomron experience to give Gershon a call...

Thank you for a superb experience,
Your fascinating knowledge of the Bible and history made our tour come to life
Whether it’s the battles of Maccabees or Joshua’s crossing into Eretz Israel, we felt that we were walking in their footsteps and absorbing the holiness of the land.

Our guide enabled us to accomplish in one day what many tours take weeks,

and everything was done in a highly professional and safe manner, every lover of Israel should have the opportunity to experience a tour with Gershon
