Moti is a living legend !
Oct 2022 • Couples
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!

wonderful
Mar 2023
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

Ancient Jerusalem
Aug 2021
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.

Moti B - super guide - Tel Aviv and beyond
Dec 2019
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!

Excellent option for a customized private tour
Dec 2022
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!

Trip of a lifetime (and can’t wait for the next one)!
Jun 2022 • Friends
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!

His combination of knowledge and service is just impeccable. I look forward to my next family trip to Israel and rebooking Moti Barness. I would urge anyone who is coming to see Israel
to hire Moti who will bring your trip to a great level tou will never forget

Your wish is his command
Jan 2023 • Friends
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!

Dec 2022 • Family
We had the most amazing experience with Moti. We have travelled around the world and had many tour guides and Moti is the best. He is very knowledgeable about history and makes the tours very engaging. He was excellent with our kids ( age 13 and 9) and the off roading adventures (with his Land Rover) on the Burma road and Judean desert were amazing and a once in a lifetime experience. He is also an expert on picking great restaurants that are good for both kids and parents. We learned so much from him and he made Israel so much fun. We will use him again when we return to Israel and recommend him to our friends.

This is the fifth time i have had Moti take us around. He is experienced and caring. He does Everything to ensure that each person in the party is well taken care of.
This time we bought our son who immediately fell in love with Moti.
I would not use anyone else
