Moti was our driver and guide in Tel Aviv and the northern coast for 3 days. He picked us up in Jerusalem on the way, invited us to see his home which was so cool. How often do you get to go in private residences when visiting a country? He had many surprises for us, including driving on the beach and off-roading in Caesarea, showing us an Israeli fashion designer's store, and meeting his Druid friend along the way to try his pita. He shared his extensive knowledge on Israel with us, kept us on time and adjusted our itinerary according to our needs. You cannot go wrong with Moti B!

To be guided by Moti Barness is an experience of a lifetime and not just an ordinary experience. We were privileged to be guided by such a great man. Moti owns a big 4x4 car and is an excellent driver and when you are being guided around Israel and the West Bank he makes you feel 100% safe. His knowledge of the region is excellent and he tells you the history of the region with so much passion - he is a born story teller. He navigates between the Jewish, Christian and Muslim people with so much respect, and he has formed friendships with people of all faiths and beliefs. In summary Moti is a compassionate human who simply loves all people who are kind and and decent. His knowledge of the history of the region is like an encyclopaedia and he understands all the important historical facts of all the many religions in this region. We wanted an objective view of the history of the religions and we feel we got this from Moti. We found Moti to be a generous tour guide who not only took us to his home to demonstrate how Israelis live, but he kindly bought us several gifts which represented some important historical moments.
What was even more interesting than the tour itself was learning about Moti’s life and experiences in the army. I enjoyed the stories of his life growing up and all of his experiences; even more that the tour. This guy is a living legend and I recommend anyone who wishes to feel safe, learn about the region and simply have an experience of a lifetime, to employ Moti as your guide. Thank Moti for an amazing experience. Our tour ended yesterday and we are missing you already!

Had a fascinating tour of the old city Jerusalem, with Moti as our guide. He's a great storyteller and we felt very well taken care of wherever we went. My favorite part was the restaurant on the way to Jerusalem in a town called Abu Ghosh where I had some of the best food I've ever experienced.

On a beautiful day Moti came up with his jeep taking us on an exiting excursion to an important cultural and historical site from the time of the war of independence. We were swept with his energy and humorous way of introducing the Israeli section of "Burma road" .
Backing the current history with deep knowledge and understanding of the historical background and local flora. anticipating my next trip with Moti, with my warmest recommendation

A truly outstanding experience! Moti is so knowledgeable, friendly and took us to amazing places. It is evident that he has built deep relationships with people of all walks of life everywhere we went, and therefore, we’re treated to amazing food and sights that most tourists never get to see. We learned so much and look forward to our next trip with you, Moti! Thank you!

Our experience with Moti was excellent! He customized the perfect one-day tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem for us based upon our interests. He has a deep knowledge of the region that helped give additional context. This customized approach was invaluable for making the most of one day in the area. He made sure to ensure our safety and comfort throughout the day. We would highly recommend Moti for anyone looking for a personal guide to Israel!

Moti went above and beyond for us. He worked with me to customize the sites we wanted to see during his tour ahead of our trip. We were able to arrange a 2 part tour with him and adjust on the fly as needed. He also helped book an additional tour of Bethlehem for us as well as a transfer from the Dead Sea to Tel Aviv. He was an excellent guide, always able to answer all of our questions, very responsive to messages, and made us laugh constantly throughout our time with him. As an added bonus, he takes great photos!

One of the most experienced guides in Israel, our trips with him especially in the northern part of the country - are always the highlight of our yearly vacation.
Morris will custom make your day to your preferences (ours is authentic great food and fresh water hideouts), he knows every rock in this country, and will tell you as much or less as you want to hear.
Most of his stories are from personal experience as his life is embedded with the history of israel.

I hired Moti for a day trip in the Judea desert.
He knows the area like no other - I like photography so Moti knew exactly where to take me in a resolution of the specific stone to stand on in order to get the best shot!
On top of that Moti makes sure that the ride along is as pleasant and enjoyable as possible - intertwined with stories, anecdotes and what not.
Oh and there's nothing like a full Hummus spread in the middle of the desert, courtesy of Moti of course!

I am very moved and interested in what you wrote about Moti. I am going for my first visit to Israel (I am 74 yrs old) next spring. If you do not mind, please answer the following questions:
1) how many days/nights was this wonderfully sounding tour?
2) he lists photography on his bio; did you get any information or experience with his photography, PARTICULARLY of birds or other wildlife?
3) did you get the impression that he is well-versed or a specialist in wildlife, besides birds?
3) do you know - does he mostly do full Israel or MULTI-day tours, or mostly 1-3 day subject specific tours?
I would really appreciate any information you might provide to me. I am thinking of going on a "commercial" 10-15 day Israeli tour, then supplement that with a few days with a private tour guide.

Shalom. I'm not an expert photographer, I'm a tour guide that know my country as the back of my hand.
Israel is famous for its modern + old history, religion, anthropology + archaeology, geography and resent politics and the Israel Arab conflict.
The wildlife in this dense country is not what you can find in Africa or Galapagos or in some other parts of the world.
Proportionally to our size birds is very special due to the fact that Israel is located on a main migrating routes from Europe to Africa.
