Hello there! I’m Avi, and for the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of guiding people through the enchanting streets of Jerusalem. Although I was born in America, my heart and roots are deeply embedded in Israel, where I grew up in an ultra-orthodox family. My greatest joy comes from sharing the vibrant tapestry of this extraordinary city with travellers from every corner of the globe. My hobbies are History, religion and nature and I look forward to sharing my experiences and knowledge in a fun easy-going tour😄
