Classic Jerusalem

  ASSAF IS THE GUIDE YOU WANT FOR YOUR TRIP TO ISRAEL - I cannot say enough great things about how good Assaf was as our guide. Better than 5 stars in my opinion. For 10 days, Assaf took us around Israel... read more from Tel Aviv, to Haifa, all the way up north, then down to Jerusalem, with many stops in between. This is the second time my family has used Assaf as our guide, and he was specifically requested for this trip. Assaf knows all in the in's and out's to make your trip memorable. He is very puntucal each morning, and hits all the spots on your trip as scheudled. He is very very professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and a true pleasure to be with each day. He knows a lot and will teach you a lot. He provides a very personal experience that is top rate. It felt like my relative taking me on a tour of Israel. While we did go to all the big ticket "touristy" spots, he also took us on really fun activities and hit other spots that were uniquely differenet and new. He shows you and lets you experience the local vibe and cuisine of each city you visit. Assaf knows all the local great local food spots as well. Assaf takes the time to make sure you are getting the most out of your trip. He goes abnove and beyond what you would expect. There was a very specific hanukkiah I was in search of during my trip. Although I never found it during my trip, I gave Assaf a picture of it and he said he would use his resources to find it. Well wouldn't youi know it, 2 weeks after I returned home he contacted me to let me know he found. Never thought it would happen. Amazing. Not just any guide would do that after the fact. That's what makes him great. I will definitely be using and recommending Assaf in the future.

  Truly THE Guide if you want to discover Jerusalem!

Thanks!

  You came into our lives for a very brief amount of time but gave us memories that are eternal. Best ever. ️

  Assaf was excellent for our family trip. He wove stories and information about Israeli history and culture into the tour and was able to pivot between talking to someone who... read more had been to Israel multiple times (me) and people who had not been there at all (my parents).

I highly recommend Assaf!

  Best guide I could have asked for!! - Assaf was the most perfect tour guide for my trip! He was so knowledgeable about the areas we went to and the history, and was always open for a good... read more conversation or to answer any questions we had! He went above and beyond to serve us and make things as easy and enjoyable as possible! I 100% recommend him for your next trip to Israel 🙂

  Our first time visit to Israel greatly exceeded our expectations, and much of the credit for this is due to the experience, knowledge, and care provided by our guide Assaf.... read more He crafted each day’s pace, selection of sites, and discussion to our small group of four’s needs and wishes.

Assaf has a deep knowledge of the historic and religious significance of all the sites we visited as we traveled through Jaffa, Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, the historic sites around the Dead Sea, etc. We also enjoyed his thoughtful discussion, when prompted, about current Middle East situations and culture.

Assaf introduced us to fascinating and delicious local cuisine, where we were treated as favored guests. At shops and bazaars his advice was welcome, and his negotiation skills were always exceptional.

Assaf’s always-friendly demeanor and broad smile brightened every day. We will strongly recommend him to anyone we know traveling to Israel, and hope to have a chance to explore more of Israel with him in the future.

  We had a great day. Assaf was awesome! He not only answered all of our questions, but did so like a seasoned storyteller. He was friendly and warm. It... read more was truly a memorable experience.

  What an exceptional surprize! My first time to Israel and Assaf was more than just a tour guide, he turned out to be a historian, someone who could explain the... read more reason for the political history as well as make it all understandable to an outsider to Israel. We covered a lot ground in just one day but I never felt rushed since Assif took care of every little detail from start to finish. We saw not only the key sites but found some of the best food in the most "off the beaten path" places which made me realize that his expertise also included where the average tourist would not go... overall an amazing experiece, one which I hope to repeat again.

  Assaf guided us through a 3 trip up the north coast of Israel and then the Golan Heights.

Within minutes you feel like he is an old friend, his... read more enthusiasm is infectious and he's great fun to be with. Clearly very knowledgeable about history & religion, but pitches it just right for his audience. Gave us a very interesting insight into the Kibbutz system.

Good news - he also knows the best places to eat!

  Assaf Aizen is a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We recently toured with him for 4
days. This was not our first trip to Israel but the one... read more we enjoyed the most. At
this point in time we are in our mid 70s and we both have certain limitations. He was always
sensitive to our needs and flexible and realistic enough to adjust the itinerary daily
as needed. At times we decided to do something different than scheduled. These
changes were always enjoyable. Assaf went above and beyond to make our
daily excursions pleasurable and instructive. He enjoys what he is doing and
therefore you do as well. Assaf is a real mensch. Our next trip back will definitely
be with him. There are only positives with Assaf. We highly recommend him to
all, young and old.
