It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Shai Shvalb’s tour guide services. As someone who does not typically choose to discover places with a professional guide I was pleasantly surprised by Shai’s ability to draw and keep my attention throughout the trip with his knowledge, humour and passion.
As an intimate group of three we discovered the old city of Jerusalem – from the City of King David, the Western Wall and through the markets – history became alive. What I appreciated about the trip was that we began our journey for the day looking above the city from Mt. Of Olives to understand the geography of place and how it influenced all that we were to discover later that day.
To complete the trip we rested for a wonderful cup of coffee at the Austrian Hospice garden café and rooftop, followed by a quick walk over to an old family owned and operated tahini factory. Shopping for gifts was also a treat and with Shai’s knowledge of both Hebrew and Arabic - I was able to get fantastic finds for family and friends.
I would recommend Shai’s services to small and large groups alike. Those interested in history of place or simply enjoy the beauty that so many places in Israel have to offer.
Sincerely,
