Guiding at Herodium, one of my favorite sites

Shalom. Welcome to my website, a great resource about Israel. My name is Shmuel Browns and I am a tour guide, licensed by the Israel Ministry of Tourism. I’m knowledgeable, experienced and passionate about Israel and would be delighted to show you the country, from Dan to Beersheva. I am a native English speaker and fluent in Hebrew.

“… a very professional and dedicated guide – Shmuel was super – he went above and beyond what was expected and left us with one of the most beautiful days of memories of our trip – He was patient and kind and incredibly knowledgeable! An exceptional guide who I highly recommend!!!:
“Please put our comment on your web site that the tour was excellent, full of very interesting information, you led it at our pace (we are both pensioners) and we learned so much. You are truly an expert in all things Herod. The personal attention to our needs and the warm friendship made the day so memorable. Oh! and by the way the day was great value for money.

Left things to the last minute? — contact me right away, phone numbers and email are on my business card. The image is from a sumi 墨絵, Japanese brush painting that I did of Jerusalem’s Old City.

Israel is a deeply fascinating and varied country. Archaeology, Art and Architecture; Religion, History and Culture; Nature, Hiking and Photography; Food and Shopping. I help individuals, families and groups create personalized itineraries that balance their interests, time, and budget.
