# Jewish heritage private tours

> Private Jewish heritage tours with Ilya Pevzner, a licensed guide: the Western Wall and Jewish Quarter, Masada, Safed and the tombs of the Tzadikim, Tiberias, and the City of David. Hebrew, English, German, or Russian.

Jewish heritage in Israel runs from the Second Temple stones of the Western Wall tunnels to the Kabbalists’ synagogues of Safed, from Masada’s last stand to the graves of the Tzadikim in the Galilee hills. A private day can hold one thread — Jerusalem’s Jewish Quarter and the City of David — or trace a longer one through the north, where the Rambam, Rabbi Meir, and the sages of Tiberias are buried.

Ilya guides in Hebrew as naturally as in English, German, or Russian, and has lived in Israel for more than 36 years. He is licensed by the Ministry of Tourism. Pickup is from your hotel or any address you name, in a private 8-seat vehicle with Ilya driving.

Ask for kosher lunch stops or Shabbat-aware scheduling when you book; a pace set for grandparents and children in the same van is the ordinary shape of these days.

## Questions guests ask

### Can we visit the Western Wall tunnels?

Yes, with advance booking. Tunnel tour slots fill early in season, so mention it when you confirm the date and Ilya will plan the day around the time you get.

### Do you run tours to the tombs of the Tzadikim?

Yes. A northern day covers Safed, Meron, and Tiberias, with the graves of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the Rambam, and Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes.

### Is Masada a Jewish heritage site?

Yes. Masada is the fortress where the last Jewish rebels held out against Rome in 73 CE. It is usually paired with the Dead Sea for a full day from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.

### What is the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, and a full refund if weather forces a change.
