Gary H, June 2023: Leiah was a marvelous guide on our private tour! I was with my 30 and 32 year old kids. We were picked up at our hotel promptly at 8:30 am . We requested a tour of Mount Masada, and a trip to the Dead Sea. We were treated to the wealth of knowledge and experience that Leiah was able to share about everywhere we went. Never rushed, at our out pace. We got back to our hotel at 5:30 pm, We enjoyed spending the whole day with Leah and would definitely recommend her services!

James M, June 2023: In summary, Leiah is an excellent tour guide. This particular tour entails over four hours of driving time, however Leiah made to time go by quickly as she talked about life in Israel. Having moved to Israel from the US over 30 years ago, she has the unique perspective of seeing how the country has evolved and what it’s like to raise a family there. As for the tour itself, floating in the Dead Sea is a fun experience and visiting Masada and learning about its history was very interesting.

Robert B, May 2023: Leiah was absolutely wonderful, friendly, and passionate about her country and its history. Time passed very quickly on our 5 hour walking tour focused primarily on Jaffa. During a short break, we sat in a peaceful garden setting while Leiah shared her knowledge of the West Bank, military service, the education system, and many other interesting facts about Israel. We also enjoyed lunch in a local restaurant not often frequented by tourists.

Sheryl M, April 2023: Leiah was so kind and tries to look for a way that suits our needs. She gave us a lot of information what we didnt know and brought us to places that normal group tours dont go. We are very happy and contented. We will definitely book her again if we come here in Jerusalem. It is more than worth it.

Leanne R, March 2023: Touring with Leiah was indeed the highlight of my time in Tel Aviv! Leiah is an experienced guide, and I thoroughly enjoyed navigating the Neze Tzedek and surrounding neighborhoods of Tel Aviv with her. I learned so much during our time together and wholeheartedly recommend her.

Ofira H, March 2023: We did a tour with Leiah today of Tel Be’er Sheba and Abraham wells. Leiah told us the history and stories of Beersheva in the past, present and future. Leiah is very knowledgeable and was flexible with our schedule and adapting to rainy weather. She is equally knowledgeable on biblical history as well as modern Israel facts. We would highly recommend her as a tour guide

Kevin M, March 2023: Great tour guide. We learned a great deal not just about today’s Israel but the entire history of the area. Fascinating. Also learned about the life of a Jewish immigrant from the United States.

Pamela J, February 2023: Leiah Jaffe designed a tour of Masada and the Dead Sea and was our guide for the day. She is marvelous. Leiah is extremely knowledgeable, and her descriptions are vivid. We came away with a much better understanding of the events at Masada because of the context she developed. She is reliable, has a good sense of humour and is easy to work with. We highly recommend her and would contract her again.

Katherine F, January 2023: Outstanding guide in every way. Turned up early, couldn’t be nicer, deep knowledge in all subjects and delivered in entertaining way. Would recommend to everyone

Miren F, January 2023: Leiah was the most delightful, knowledgeable and proficient guide! She drove EXCELLENTLY and safely, guided us, enlightened us and was generous with her time. We had the best tour/ day in Israel!

Ruth B, January 2023: Leiah designed the perfect tour for us and was very knowledgeable, friendly, pleasant and informative. We were most pleased and recommend her highly.

Richard K, December 2022: Leiah was absolutely superb. Our group of 6 had requested a specialized tour of the Via Dolorosa, and she exceeded our most optimistic hopes. She showed us what we had wanted to see, and along the way, answered a wide range of questions about historical and current issues.

Robert M, October 2022: Only one word is required to describe our experience with Leah. Outstanding

Gary S, October 2022: Leiah was efficient, proactive, informative, helpful in every way possible. She went above and beyond to create and execute a tour with our specific request. Our group of six had a great day, thanks to Leiah and the driver. We highly recommend Leiah because of her extensive personal experience of the history of Israel.

Susanne O, October 2022: Guided tour of Jerusalem by Leiah was fantastic. She knew so much about history and religion, told fun and lively stories, spoke clear and loud in English so we all (Danish family of 10) could understand and showed illustrations of the history. All in all a perfect and very interested 4 hour tour which we all enjoyed. I warmly recommend Leiah.

Jessica O, October 2022: Leiah was a wonderful tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable. She took us to all the places we requested and answered all our questions. We’d love to come back to Israel one day! If we do, we will look forward to having Leiah give us another tour! We highly recommend her!

Michael M, September 2022: We spent a full day with Leah exploring Jaffa (the old city) and Tel Aviv. We found Leiah to be a thoughtful and informed guide, with excellent historical knowledge. She planned out a worthwhile journey that provided an interesting foundation for subsequent tours that we took in Israel. In additional to being personable and warm, she was a good teacher. We would recommend her to others without hesitation.

Sandra K, September 2022: Leiah was extraordinary. She was professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, personable, timely and a great companion as I started my exploration of Tel Aviv. Her love of Tel Aviv was infectious. Her pictures and other tools added to the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hours together and I learned alot!

  1. Leiah Jaffe just ran a wonderful tour for our extended family to Megiddo, and the Jezriel Valley. We had a group of young and old …from ages 6 to age 69. ALL loved the guided tour. Leiah was extremely knowledgeable, patient and creative. We are truly grateful to Leiah for creating a tour that was a terrific way for our family to learn history, have fun, and get some exercise all in the Land of Israel!

  2. Leiah is wonderful! She recently led my extended family – from young to old – and had us all engaged and excited. I’ve been on other group tours with her, and they’re always interesting. It’s clear she loves what she does. From making ancient (or more recent) history come alive through her descriptions and stories, to having us taste the small wild plants that are found along the way, Leiah is vastly knowledgeable and a terrific guide!

  3. Leiah is a fantastic tour guide who makes visiting Israel fun and interesting. Her tours are full of interesting tidbits – she is knowledgeable and makes the tours fun. We have toured with her twice, and both times she prepared extra activities to keep the kids entertained and make the sites they were seeing relevant. She created a scavenger hunt, a debate and even a play for our group. Highly recommended!

  4. We had the opportunity to explore and travel over 3 days during the festival of Hanukkah.  Leiah has a wonderful way of explaining each of the sites of the area including the geographical, historical, and political significance of each. I had a very clear understanding as her storytelling is a technique she uses while you don’t even realize you’re learning something all the while having an enjoyable time. I totally enjoyed my time in Israel and  Leiah made it even better.

  5. When out on a tour with Leiah, you can feel her passion and love of the land of Israel and all of its nooks and crannies. She can make ancient cities ‘awaken’, the Dead Sea come ‘alive’ and add so many facts and fun tidbits of information as you ‘cruise’ along on a Leah Land Cruise adventure. I have had the opportunity to visit so many sites in Israel with Leiah that I would have just ‘driven by’. Touring with Leiah is a ‘fantasyland’ of interesting stories, history, and fun. For such a small country, going on a tour with Leiah makes you realize how much there truly is to see and learn. Leiah offers you the best tour ever. Highly recommended!

  6. We’ve been fortunate to have just returned from yet another fantastic (I think this is number 12, but who’s counting 🙂 ) Leiah adventure. Always educational, interesting and off the beaten path, touring with Leiah always provides us with a new perspective and connection to our land. Highly recommended!!

  7. Leiah made our tour fun for everyone, from the toddlers to the grandparents. I love how she explains things in ways that everyone can relate to. Her stories are fascinating and informative. Her obvious love for Israel and its history helps me feel more connected to the land of Israel. I always enjoy touring with her and look forward to doing it again soon.

  8. Leiah is an amazing tour guide!! Our family had such a fantastic time!! She was somehow able to engage my inlaws, us and my kids all at the same time! She combines her vast knowledge of tanach and the country with her absolutely pleasant and fun personality to give a trip with memories to last a lifetime! We highly recommend Leiah, especially for groups with multi generational members!

  9. My work colleagues and I were lucky to have Leiah lead us on a tour of Park Beit Shean for our company Fun Day. Leiah is professional, knowledgeable, fun and informative and not only made the antiquities site interesting but also the 2 hour drive to get there, filling us in on what we were passing on the way. Leiah obviously loves what she does because it shows! Highly recommend her as a guide!

  10. My husband and I were recommended to partner with Leiah for our first trip and belated honeymoon to Israel. Together we identified the locations we wanted to visit and learn about and with Leiah’s expertise a three-day touring trip came to fruition. We were so blessed to have Leiah show us everything and more during our time together. I cannot imagine what the trip would have been like without her. Leiah is essentially a historian of Jewish culture and the state. We learned so much that will stick with us for our lifetimes. I recommend Leiah very highly to anyone who needs an outstanding guide and teacher. Thank you so much Leiah we love you!!

  11. The only letters that can be used to describe our experience with Leiah is O.M.G! To be honest, I was leery of having a tour guide at first thinking ‘Is it going to be worth the price?’, ‘Is it going to be worth our time?’ I can honestly say that the knowledge that was passed along to us, whether it be Jewish Culture and religion or Christianity; Leigh was overly versed in all. Her visual add-ons as well as her written out role-plays that she had us do was without a doubt an extra help to comprehend. Leiah was patient when we wanted to stop and shop, sit for a moment or get a drink of water. She is absolutely am amazing tour guide, a complete historian and a joy to be with. We are looking forward to booking her again in 2 years.

    Thank you so much Leiah for everything! We love you!
