Leiah listened to what we wanted, is knowledgeable and catered to our needs and wants. We wanted to go to the Mount of Olives cemetery and find the grave of my husband’s Great Grandfather. We knew only his name and approximate year of death. It was our worry that his would be one of the many graves that had been destroyed over the years. Leiah took the time to travel to Jerusalem in advance of our visit (a 2 1/2 hr trip), research the site and then bring us directly to it when we met. It was perfect.

Testimonials
Leiah provided a wonderful tour of the Dead Sea area and Masada. She is sunny, entertaining, and considerate of old folks with limited mobility. She has deep knowledge of the history and context of the places we visited, also of modern life in Israel.
Leiah was an excellent guide & provided a unique tour experience in Jerusalem. She was prompt & professional in her communication & guiding. (providing clothing suggestions & a weather report) We visited places we had not seen before (Tower of David) & learned a lot of information walking around all 4 Quarters of the Old City…and her promise of strudel at the Austrian Hospice stop was what hooked me… it did not disappoint! Highly recommend Leiah and this tour.
