Rachel Wells
Hello! I’m Rachel. I originally hail from sunny Southern California. After I finished my honors degree in History at the University of Washington and worked for a bit in Seattle, I decided to leave Mexican food and the Standard system behind and packed my bags for Berlin. My love for the city started in my third year of university when I studied Berlin’s history for a semester at the Humboldt University Berlin.
Having lived in Berlin since 2013, I feel I can give a well-rounded and interesting historical perspective to the city’s visitors. I was also raised in a Jewish home and really enjoy helping Jewish visitors to Berlin explore their heritage here. Having specialised in Prussian and Cold War history specifically, trips to Potsdam are always a fun and exciting way to understand another side of German history for me.
I am also proudly a member of the Bündnis Berliner Stadtführer, the association of professional tour guides in Berlin.

I am fluent in English, Russian, and Czech and offer tours in all these languages. I specialize in leading tours of the historical Jewish sights of Eastern and Central Europe. These sights include the Jewish Quarter of Prague, Theresienstadt, Kolin, and the old Ghetto towns of the Czech Republic (to name just a few). I also provide tours of the non-Jewish sections of Prague. My education and prior work experience have provided me with the skills and knowledge necessary to give informative and interesting tours.

My name is *Shai Shvalb*, and I am a professional private tour guide and the owner of *Know the Land*. As a storyteller, I love to lead and guide my guests using my private car in the Land of Israel. I am especially enthusiastic about guiding those interested in history and archaeology, interfaith dialogue and comparison, the Bible, Israeli society, and, of course, Israeli food and markets. I guide in a deep and meaningful way, seasoned with a sense of humor.
In 2019 I published a one-of-a-kind Hebrew English dictionary about the Land of Israel – *Know the Holy Land*. I recently (2022) finished writing the manuscript for my second book in English – *A Bridge to your Roots*. Using my knowledge of the Bible and Hebrew, my book connects Evangelical Christian believers to the Land of Israel, where all the roots of their faith began at the time of Jesus. So stay tuned
I offer you my services as a one-stop shop for all your needs in Israel: guidance, transportation, booking hotels, VIP handling at the airport, and anything else you might need.
