We did a three day tour of Jerusalem old city with Benayah. He is extremely knowledgeable of the landmarks and history and can discuss issues from different perspectives. He is personable and has a good sense of humor. We had a great experience and learned a lot. Even our 6 year old daughter was impressed with Benayah.

My husband & I just completed an 8 day tour of Israel of which Benayah escorted us for 3 of those. Benayah is certainly a very passionate and knowledgeable guide. He went to a lot of trouble to ensure that we were comfortable and catered for. We had lots of discussion and he was happy to chat on any subject.
We would definitely recommend Benayah as a guide for Israel. Thanks Benayah.

We had one week with Benayah and visited most places in Israel. Benayah made this trip an unbelievable experience!
His knowledge about history is remarkable and he can answer every question. In addition to that he is a lovely person, cares for people and still is funny. At the end Benayah gives an inisght to current Israel with its challenges and great developments.
I can absolutely recommend getting to know ancient and recent Israel with Benayah!

We enjoyed an interesting and informative (if hot!) day in Jerusalem with Benayah during our recent trip to Israel. He was extremely flexible, patient, and helpful both before and during the tour, helping us to craft a day that incorporated aspects of a few of his tours and adjusting as needed throughout the day based on our interests and questions. He was particularly knowledgeable about the religious history of Jerusalem, from the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian perspective. Overall, our time with Benayah allowed us to make the most of the one full day that we had to explore Jerusalem, covering a lot of ground and providing insights that we wouldn't have had if we had tackled the day on our own.

One of the best holidays we’ve ever had. Learned so much and felt save with him in Israel and Palestine. It was our first guided tour but a necessity for a country with so much to see.
Benayah ist authentic, funny and well informed about history, religions, politics and anything going on nowadays.

We made together with Benaya a complete tour visiting main stations (Jerusalem, Nazaret, see Genezareth, several ports to Tel Aviv) of Israel. We can not imagine a better guide. With full patience he explained to all questions we made to history. Such a kowledge he has is amazing and was to our full profit of learning.

We did an Israel trip over Winter Break for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah and were fortunate enough to have Benayah as our guide for our 8 days in Israel.
Benayah was so knowledgeable and very considerate to the unique needs of everyone in our group (9 of us). He taught us so much, and always kept us entertained with his stories and his humor!
For an meaningful and unforgettable Israel experience, book Benayah Blum!!

I am lying down on my bed back home contemplating a great trip my family and I just enjoyed in the Middle East (Israel and Jordan). Just returned last night. We were a small group travelling but diverse in ages, education, and religiosity. I must say that perhaps more than any single great attraction—from the Wall where my son had his Bar Mitzvah to Petra—it was Benaya that was the outstanding highlight of our trip. Three reasons he was a superb tour guide. First, he is an extremely intelligent person that is able to relate his very interesting knowledge of various attractions throughout all of Israel not just from his years of experience as a tour guide but also due to an extraordinary life lived. Second, he was always on time. Last, he had a good sense of humour and was a lot of fun.
My advice to anyone able to contract with him to be your tour guide is to learn quickly to trust him. He always had our best interests at heart and is skilled and experienced enough to determine what you like and want to do. A good example, in Safed, he took us around to a couple of galleries when we first arrived. The next day we had time to shop through the entire artist colony on our own but each one of us found ourselves returning to the places he recommended in the end to make our purchases.

Benayah Blum ensured that we had the most fabulous experience of Jerusalem, Ein Gedi and Masada over 4 days. Benayah is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and capable - combining both cultural knowledge and impressive expertise in the National Parks. We travelled with two teenagers and an 8 year old and Benayah took our interests on board and kept us all engaged and entertained. Whether we were exploring the underground waterways of Jerusalem to cool down in the mid-Summer heat, contemplating Yad Vashem and Mt Herzel or navigating the hikes of Ein Gedi, Benayah was superb. We feel so lucky that we were able to experience Israel under his guidance. Benayah is so generous with his time and his commitment to guaranteeing his clients a truly meaningful experience. We cannot recommend him highly enough and would hire him again in a heartbeat.
