Overview

Holy Jerusalem is a complex city, thousands of years old, a place of yearning and identification for Jews, Christians, and Moslems. Join me on a walking tour during which we will meet and talk with people from the wide variety of cultures and religions who live in the Old City. We will visit holy places of the three religions: the Dome of the Rock, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and more. As we wend our way through charming narrow streets, we will enjoy hidden courtyards, view the city from concealed roofs, be intoxicated by myriad scents in the colorful markets, taste authentic foods, and hear stories of the past and present that provide food for thought.

An out of this world experience of this world

Published on May, 2025

family and I had a special experience in Jerusalem with Israeli and Palestinian peace emissaries Elad and Mustafa. Elad is an exceptional guide and Mustafa, his driver, who was born in this ancient city, was an unbelievable addition to the authenticity and magnificence of the experience. Elad has depth of knowledge of the history, geological development and geopolitical processes of Jerusalem that is un matched. He uses simple and smart visual aids that clarify complex processes in such easy and memorable ways. For example he uses a 5 meter tape measure that signifies 5000 years of athnic control. Mustafa add an unbelievable authenticity and magnificence to the experience. Being raised in this complex political conditions that didn’t favor his not favor his people he never the less radiated wisdoms and equanimity that one wishes was more prevalent in humanity in general and in this country in particular. The relationship between this two beautiful men was compelling. I highly highly recommend the pair for your tour. You will not be disappointed. Erelah

Fantastic guide

Published on May, 2025

The tour with Elad was phenomenal! He has a vast knowledge of history, geology, and geopolitical influences. He was very considerate of an elderly family member and his needs. He combined his personal history and story with that of the region in a compelling way. Once in a lifetime experience. Sigal

Exceptional and Insightful Tour with Elad Vazana

Published on Jul, 2024

It's hard to put into words the uniqueness of Elad. His extensive background knowledge is immediately apparent; every answer he provides is layered with nuances, hinting at more, inviting further inquiry, and responding with depth. Elad is committed to conveying the stories of the place without taking sides, presenting the conflicts of the area in a way that stimulates thought and discussion. Elad is very mindful throughout the day, weaving the group's interests into the storytelling. He speaks thoughtfully and allows time for reflection when necessary, giving everyone the opportunity to process the information and let the experience sink in. His presence made our tour a resounding success. We felt like we embarked on a journey through various layers, both personally and narratively. The experience left us energized and profoundly grateful for the day. Highly, highly, highly recommended.

Jerusalem and Jaffa: a Historical Experience

Published on Sep, 2023

Elad is an excellent guide. He took me and my mother to see Old Jaffa and the Old City in Jerusalem. His knowledge about the long histories of these places, combined with a strong understanding for the complexities of the inter-cultural relations is impressive to say the least. I found the tours exceedingly informative, and would recommend him to anyone.

Wonderful 2 days

Published on Aug, 2023

Elad was a wonderful guide—he met us in Tel Aviv and took us to old Jaffa, and also met us in Jerusalem and gave us a tour of the old city, highlighting the history both cultural and religious. We enjoyed hearing about how multiple cultures have connections to the very same historical spots. There were two of us, with slightly different interests and areas of knowledge, and Elad “read the room,” and geared his information toward both of us. He also helped us to stay comfortable over the 6 hour tours! He’s very kind and open.
