Aaron Shaffier
I’m a licensed tour guide who guides groups, families and individuals to all parts of this amazing land called Israel. I specialize in tours designed to bring the Tanach (Bible) and Jewish history to life. I will work with you or your organization to tailor an itinerary to your needs. A tour guide can make or break your experience when visiting Israel. If you are planning a group tour through a tour provider, ask for me by name! You will know that you are getting a guide who is passionate about this land and will go the extra mile to make every member of your group happy.
Groups:
I work with you and your tour provider to build the ideal itinerary to meet your needs. When speaking to your tour provider, ask for me by name, that way I can be involved in the planning stages of your itinerary. Often tour providers want to impress you with how many sites they can squeeze into a short trip. I will work with you and your provider to create a realistic itinerary that will allow your group to truly enjoy their visit to the Holy Land.
Families and Individuals:
I will work with you to create an itinerary that will make your whole family happy. I will help you find the best options for lodging whether it be a hotel or bed and breakfast (Tzimmer) and I will help you find restaurants that cater to your price level and any special needs like Kashrut.
When you take me as a guide for your family, you will rent and drive your own vehicle and I will guide you. This saves you a lot of money. Guides who drive their own vehicle charge significantly more because they are doing two jobs at the same time, tour guide and taxi driver.

Sipur
Taking tour during a trip to Israel can enhance your travel experience by learning about the area from someone who lives there!
If you have never traveled to Israel before, but do not want to do an arranged package tour where you travel with the same group for the whole trip, consider doing an independent trip, but “supplementing” by arranging several day tours. If it is your first time in Jerusalem and you are there for four nights, you could arrange two half day tours and spend the rest of the time exploring yourself. If you are having a week in the Tel Aviv, spend one day with a me to see some of the wineries, historic sites or places you may not find on your own.
See my list of tours offered around the country including the beautiful Galilee, Nazareth, Zichron Yaakov, Safed, Acre, Tiberias, Haifa, as well as the Negev and Eilat region!
Ishai
Ishai has over six years of experience leading tours for travelers of all ages and physical ability levels. Ishai received his university degree in history and is a government certified tour guide. Ishai is also an avid explorer and outdoorsman, having completed the Israel National Trail, a hike that spans the entire country of Israel and the Pacific Crest Trail, which spans the length of the United States from Mexico to Canada.
Experience the magic of the ancient port town of Jaffa (Yafo) with a local on Ishai’s day tour. Ishai, a Jaffa resident who speaks both Hebrew and Arabic, weaves a rich tapestry of the past and present. Ishai uses the power of story-telling and his expertise in ancient and biblical history to take travelers back in time, as well as his extensive knowledge and local connections to show them the vibrant multicultural energy of today that makes Jaffa a city unlike any other in Israel.
Jaffa, which dates back to roughly 7500 BCE, is the oldest part of Tel Aviv and is famous for its many references in the Bible and Greek mythology. This tour walks through Jaffa’s history, from Clocktower Square, to Jaffa’s Port, through its ancient sandstone alleys, stopping for hummus and other local treats. This tour not only tells the story of Jaffa, but of Israel as a whole.
Slava Bazarsky
My name is Slava, I’m a Private Tour Guide in Israel.I was born in Ukraine and moved to Israel with my family on the 1988 “Aliya.” We were on our way to the United States, but God had other plans for us, so we ended up in Israel. I served in the Israeli military in one of the top intelligence units, which was unquestionably one of the best experiences of my life in terms of maturing and acquiring various “tools” for the future.
I’m married with two beautiful daughters. I graduated from the University of Tel Aviv with a BA in International Relations, and my next step was the Israel Ministry of Tourism academy, where I gained 2.5 years of valuable experience and a depth of knowledge about my beloved home, Israel. I adore my incredible country, and after completing my military service, I work as a licensed private tour guide in Israel, specializing in cultures, religions, gastronomy, architecture, and archeology. I crossed Israel back and forth and flipped every stone to tell you everything there is to know about my country.
I have been working as a private tour guide in Israel since 2006, and I am currently ranked in the top 10 best Israeli tour companies and among the best Israeli tour guides. I was also nominated by TripAdvisor as one of the best private tour guides in Israel in 2019 and won second place! I am fluent in five languages (English, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, and Ukrainian), and my services have been used by some of the world’s largest corporations and their guests.
Traveling is my passion, and meeting new people is the best part of my job; I can honestly say that I have never worked a day in my life because I enjoy meeting different people from various countries and opening up a new dimension for them; I have many interests, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with others; “working” as a private Israeli tour guide Is the best thing that ever happened to me because it appears to be a very complicated job for many people, but for me, it is the easiest and most enjoyable job in the world.
