Samuel Green - Licensed Tour Guide in Israel Shalom! My name is Samuel, and I’m a licensed tour guide and educator in Israel.
(18)

I moved here in 2010 and have fallen in love with this small country. It is filled with sites of immense historical interest and importance, stunning natural scenery and a culinary scene which is as delicious as it is diverse. Whether you want to laze on a beach, immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of Jerusalem, float in saline waters at the lowest point on Earth, hike through the desert or

party the night away in Tel Aviv’s bars and clubs, there is something here for everyone. I specialise in tailoring a visit to Israel to meet your specific interests and needs and promise to take you on a journey which is as entertaining as much as it is informative. Don't just take my word for it - I have been awarded a Certificate of Excellence thanks to my great reviews on TripAdvisor and I welcome you to read the testimonials at www.myisraeliguide.com/testimonials

For the past 10 days I've been running around England talking to whoever will listen about the history of the Gaza Strip and also sharing my personal experiences of the current war between Israel and Hamas.

I got quite a lot of messages asking to do an online session as well and so here we are!

The webinar is free of charge but I will be asking participants to donate to a charity to an amazing grassroots network of volunteers.

Please share with anyone you think might be interested and I'll see you Sunday afternoon (if you're in the Americas), Sunday night (if you're in Europe) or early Monday morning for my Japanese friends.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to show around . We packed a lot into a tight schedule before they rocked a sellout crowd just outside of .

It’s the biggest I ever saw, let alone held in my hands. Made of crystallised minerals, diamonds can be found in the mud along the sea shore. They may not be as valuable as “real” diamonds, but they are remarkably beautiful.

Wishing everyone celebrating a healthy, happy and successful new year!

At the end of a wonderful tour with three wonderful people. Amber Heard, Eve & Eden, thanks for trusting me with your experience in Israel!

Back from a few days with four families in northern . The best thing about being in the Golan this time of year is the chance to catch the harvest. Israel doesn’t import much fruit (and doesn’t import any cherries, as far as I can tell), so we only get to enjoy them for a few months in the summer. Eating cherries freshly picked off the tree is a real delight. Might have to go back next week!

I’ve been trying to get to Sussita, also known as Hippos, for years. Every time I planned a visit something got in the way. But I made it this week and it was well worth the wait.

Hippos was part of the decapolis - ten major ancient cities that are now located between , Jordan and Syria and include modern Damascus and Amman. The says that taught in the decapolis cities, so when we’re walking on these original stones from the decumanus road, we’re retracing his steps.

The ruins are fascinating (ancient markets, homes, wine presses and churches and a theatre, among other things) and there are stunning views over the Sea of Galilee.

The site is officially not really open to the public but unofficially we were able to wander in. They’re currently developing it into a national park which will have an entry fee, so go now before everyone discovers how amazing this place is and it gets packed.

It's not been an easy period for tourism anywhere in the world and particularly in Israel. Since March 2020 non-citizens have not been allowed into the country (except if they meet special conditions). But I did still manage to do some tours and also made some online presentations for people overseas. So it's very special to be recognised by the…...

Check out my latest post about adventures in northern Israel.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to take a couple of days to explore some more of northern Israel. One of the amazing things about this country is that despite the fact that it’s very small and despite the fact that I’ve travelled around it so much, there’s always something more to discover. It...

Sending you all my best wishes for a sweet, happy and, most importantly, healthy new year.

I've been guiding the annual trip since 2015. It's always a great experience - a wonderful mix of people from multiple countries and different backgrounds who come to engage with some of the key policy issues in - and have a great time in the process. I was going to guide the trip for the 6th year in a row in March 2020 - when suddenly Israel shut its borders and the trip was cancelled at a few days' notice.
So, it was really special to welcome them here in a brief window when tour groups were allowed back into the country. The group was smaller and less international than usual, but we were still able to have the same deep discussions and enjoy exploring Israel.
Hopefully next time Fletcher comes we'll be back to normal.... 🤞🤞
With thanks to for the organisation and planning and for the lovely photo.

If I guided you in Jerusalem, and particularly in the City of David, much of what I told you was thanks to the work of Eilat Mazar. She was a remarkable person; may her memory be a blessing.

Hebrew University scholar who unearthed 'King David's palace' leaves a lasting contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of ancient Israel and Jerusalem

It’s been a very hard time in Israel but honestly I’m more worried right now about my Jewish friends and family around the world. Stay safe.
Thanks for vocalising this

Had a fab time in the Habonim Beach Nature Reserve. Located on ’s northern coast, there’s a lovely trail leading you between a selection of sheltered coves and hidden caves. At the end you can reward yourself with a dip at one of the beaches where swimming is permitted. Go now to enjoy it in all its springtime greenery!

The sun has set on another beautiful day in #TelAviv. Wish you were here? #Israel is opening up to independent travel soon…

Helicopter Flight over the Old City of Jerusalem

It’s not for everyone, but a helicopter trip can be a real highlight of a trip to #Israel. As well as offering spectacular views and access to out of the way places, it gives you real perspective on quite how small our country is when you can easily see from one side to the other! Video here of today’s flight over the Old City of #Jerusalem. Can you spote the Dome of the Rock, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Western Wall?

In my opinion the @carltontelaviv has by far the best #breakfast in #TelAviv #Israel I’m stuffed!

Is this what they mean by a #breakfast fit for a king? This video represents about 25% of the sumptuous buffet at the historic @kingdavidhotel in #Jerusalem, #Israel

Descending towards the Sea of Galilee from the Golan Heights in #Israel with @passagesisrael

When you have some famous #gospel singers in your tour group, where better for them to perform than at the two thousand year old theatre in #Caesarea , #Israel? A fantastic way to start the morning with many thanks to @shelby5fam - all part of @passagesisrael

I love the view from the look out at the Tower of David in the Old City of #Jerusalem in #Israel. It's a great overview of all four Old City quarters.

Hidden away in the centre of the Old City of #Jerusalem #Israel is a cavernous cistern built by Helena in the 4th century. The story behind it is interesting but the special thing about the cistern is its incredible acoustics. I like to encourage people to sing and today I was treated to a very good voice. Not much to see in the video (to protect the privacy of the singer) but you can enjoy the singing! #singing

Choices choices! No one does #breakfast like in #Israel and at the Cramim hotel they take it to an even higher level! Good morning with @whartonschool !

In the Golan Heights in the north of #Israel, you can take an ATV into the demilitarised zone along the border with Syria. This month I went there with @uarizonalaw and @fletcher_ig_unofficial - in the middle of the ride we stopped for a look out over the border and had a briefing from a former intelligence officer about the current situation in Syria.
