Jewish Minsk Tours
The Together Plan empowers communities in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to learn how to help themselves. We help communities to see what can be achieved collectively, and work with community members to develop skills and provide the training necessary to realise their vision.
We help to set up and run projects which community members of all ages can benefit from and participate in. At the same time, we promote responsible and transparent leadership, which is vital to develop the genuine friendship and trust necessary for a community’s survival. Ultimately, our communities will become self-sufficient both financially and in their activities – at which point we will step back, watching the community progress from strength to strength.
Mammadov Elchin
Elchin was born and raised in Azerbaijan, and for almost 10 years I have been working as a guide – your guide to the history and beauty of the “Land of Lights”.
His years of experience in tourism allow me to choose exactly the right routes, style, and pace of excursions individual for each group of tourists, for each guest.
I never burden my guests with dry, banal facts: my excursions are bright, exciting, and memorable stories that you want to live over and over again. I will always tell you an interesting case or a joke, appropriate to the moment, I will show non-standard, not often visited by tourists places, I will recommend the best restaurant, well and certainly I will tell the most interesting stories and stories of our old residents!
My excursions are exclusively author’s. Among them are “Jewish tour” in the city of Baku, “Jewish places” in different parts of our beautiful country, “Tour of the old city”, “Museum Tour” on Baku, “Tour of wineries of Azerbaijan”, as well as super active tours “Camping” and “Jeep Tour”, with climbing on the active mud volcanoes and much more.
Come to Azerbaijan! See our ancient and beautiful country differently!

Tzfat Walking Tour
Just mention “Tzfat” to any Israeli, and you’ll automatically see the far off gaze and glimmer in his eye…Who doesn’t long for Tzfat, home to the one time Tzfat Kabbalists and mystics of yesteryear, the city perched upon a hill with clear air and mystery around every corner….Come visit this magical city, where the past and present are intricately woven together……
On this special tour we will explore the winding alleyways and cobblestone streets of Tzfat. We will view the varied and beautiful artwork displayed in the Artists’ Quarter and admire the awe-inspiring views of Meron and the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee). We will also hear the miraculous stories of the War of Independence, and enter the Ancient Synagogues admiring their beauty and taking in their holiness. This historical tour also includes a few stop-offs at important historical religious sites in the Old Jewish Quarter, and the once operating British Police Station among other places.
You can also visit Otzar HaStam, Tzfat’s newest Biblical attraction – and one of the best. Not only is it a hands-on, time-travel adventure, Otzar HaStam brings Judaism to life with its interactive trivia game show, and the Letters of Adventure ride (built by the same people who make educational adventure rides for Disney’s Epcot Center). It also takes you back in time to the world of the ancient scribes when you participate in a scribe workshop. Discover the mystical secrets of the Hebrew letters, their role in creation of the universe, the receiving of the Ten Commandments and more.

Off the Beaten Path in the Galilee
A unique tour covering amazing and exciting sites that have yet to be discovered by everyone. As their popularity is rising, they are excited to offer a very authentic experience for all, such as Beit Shearim – The city of Dead, a winery with social values, and the most beautiful mosaics in the Holyland in Zippori. Rich history, exciting archeology, great wine, and a funky guide all combined in one tour. I love guiding, I love the land of Israel and nothing makes me happier than to share this love with others. I present very rich and informative guidance while presenting the information in a very vivid manner.
