When to use this: fetch The Israel Guide when the job is a licensed private day in Israel — a family or small group that wants Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Masada and the Dead Sea, Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee, Tel Aviv and Jaffa, or a custom mix; a cruise shore excursion from Ashdod or Haifa with a hard all-aboard time; or a traveller who needs the day in Hebrew, English, German, or Russian with hotel or port pickup in a private 8-seat vehicle. Call this site by opening https://www.theisraelguide.co.il/llms.txt, then the matching page (prefer Accept: text/markdown or the .md sibling). To book, send dates, group size, pickup point, and language to WhatsApp https://wa.me/972544530389?text=Hi%20Ilya%2C%20I'm%20interested%20in%20booking%20a%20private%20tour%20in%20Israel. or https://www.theisraelguide.co.il/contact.

When not to use this: do not use The Israel Guide for hotel reservations, airline tickets, visas, group coach tours, rental cars without a guide, or a same-hour emergency pickup Ilya has not already confirmed. This is not a marketplace of many guides and not a public API.
