About
My name is Shimon Mizrahi. I am a Jerusalem native and a Certified Tour Guide. I offer unique tours to first time visitors and to tourists who regularly visit Israel. I specialize in private day tours of Israel, which I can customize to your interests. For example, I can offer tours emphasizing history, archeology, or religion (Jewish, Catholic or Protestant) or a general overview. My areas of expertise are Jerusalem, Masada and the Dead Sea and the Galilee. My tours vary to accommodate individuals, couples, families, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and small groups looking for an exclusive, boutique experience, especially where repeat visitors to Israel want to see new places they may not have seen before. Looking forward hearing from you...

We had an excellent day with Shimon doing a walking tour of the old city. He was very informative of all the sights, the history, the current politics and situation but also was fun and entertaining along the way. He obviously had suggestions on how we should spend the day but was also very open to us expressing how we wanted to spend the time and making sure to fit in what we'd like.
In a day we covered most all of the Old City - the Tower of David, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, walking the Jewish, Armenian and Muslim quarters, the Western Wall, the City of David, etc... as well as stopping for excellent food stops along the way.
We were recommended Shimon from a friend who had toured with him and we would surely recommend him to others traveling to Jerusalem.

Shimon is a professional from the start of our email conversation since January 2019. When we finally met in December of 2019, he proved to be the superb guide and I made the right choice of having him as our guide in Jerusalem.
We are a family of 6 traveling for the first time to Israel. We spent two days with Shimon. He is funny and knowledgeable of the historical info of the old city. Be ready for the walk 😁it was a day filled with fun and gaining invaluable experience as we venture through the old city. He gave us great dinning tips for New Year’s Eve celebrations which is a quite one in Jerusalem.
The second day we toured Mahane Yehuda Market which I feel it was the highlight of the food tour. Shimon took us to a great local restaurant and afterwards tasty local bakery.
If you ever decide to visit Israel, contact Shimon. He has recommendations for every city in Israel! He will ensure you having the best itinerary based on your interests.

We loved the city as well as the stories, the food and Shimon's company, he was able to give us a true locals bird's eye view of the history of the Holy Land. Don't hesitate booking this tour!

This was such a great day, thanks a million, next time you'll be around we can tour together the Dead Sea area, or the Sea of Galillee, or just focus the tour in Jerusalem on the less known sights in the Old City.
Stay safe...

This is an excellent tour with a great guide in Jerusalem. Shimon is a real local and have a great deal of historical information that is combined with native prospective, which I believe is what makes this tour so much better than others. Even though we saw everything we wanted in the old city of Jerusalem in less than 6 hours as we're fast walkers, we had a full day eight hours walking tour, and Shimon took us to the orthodox area (short walk from the Damascus gate). Shimon is flexible, knowledgeable and very friendly.

Thank you so much for the review, it was my pleasure to show you around Jerusalem - old city and new city. I hope to see you again in the future, we can tour less known sites in the Christian, Muslime and Arminien quarters, the Dead Sea, Galilee and more...
I'm also offering food tour in the Machane Yehuda market :-)))
Until next time all the best from Jerusalem.

If Shimon is available book a tour NOW! My wife and I originally hired Shimon for a 1 day personalized tour of Jerusalem including highlights in the old city, Jerusalem neighborhoods, places to eat, and shopping areas. BEST DAY EVER. Shimon was extremely knowledgeable, personable, professional, and passionate about his job. He went above and beyond our expectations in answering questions about middle east culture, he showed us how to use public transportation, suggested sites to visit on our own, and made us feel welcome in a foreign land. We ended up booking 5 more days with Shimon which allowed us to see the entire country from the Golan Heights to the Red Sea and everything in between (the Jordan River, the Galilee, the Dead Sea, Nazareth, Bethlehem, the Elah Valley, Masada, 3 kibbutz,Cesarea, etc, etc, etc…) at our own pace without having to suffer through a big bus tour. My wife and I have traveled all over the world and this was by far the best experience with the best tour guide we have ever met. Shimon will always have a place in our hearts for bringing the holy land to life for us. Thank you, Shimon.

Shimon Mizrahi is a top class tour guide to Jerusalem old city and the area, we did 2 days together, Dead Sea (Masada area) and a walking tour of Jerusalem, both was amazing. Shimon's enthusiasm is obvious, very knowledgeable and friendly (you can tell he's good from the first email). He made our trip memorable and we will recommend him to anyone visiting Israel.

This being Corona times, we decided to do some domestic tourism. We've all been to Jerusalem multiple times so the "usual" tour was out of the question. We asked Shimon to do something special, for locals. Shimon delivered above our expectations. We went places we've never seen before in the old city and heard stories and facts that were both interesting and new for us. Shimon was able to vividly answer multiple questions and provide insights on religious, cultural and domestic issues. Both teenagers and adults were impressed. Highly recommended!

Thanks a million for this wonderful review, and sorry for the late response, I enjoyed touring with you and your family, the 2 half days we had gave me the opportunity to get 'deeper' inside the city and show you less known sites and take my time answering all the (knowledgeable) questions.
Hope to see you next time...

We had an amazing 2 days as an American family (1 daughter 11 yo) visiting old city Jerusalem as well as a 2nd day of Masada, En Gedi, and Dead Sea
Shimon has a style that is fun, funny, educational, and easy to get along with. We asked many questions- including ones that were probably ignorant by us- and he had always answers that were thoughtful.
He kept our days on a pace where we saw and learned a lot, but we had enough breaks that our daughter wasn’t complaining!

Shimon is absolutely amazing! He is a native Yerushalami and it shows in his love for his city as well as knowing the best spots to try out delicious food. He is also extremely knowledgeable about Israel's history and it's diverse background. Shimon absolutely impressed us with his incredible memory of the events in ancient and recent history as well as his great sense of humor! Our family including our 17 and 20 year olds all agreed that Shimon's tour of Jerusalem was one of the best highlights of our trip to Israel. We highly recommend Shimon to everyone who wants not only learn about Jerusalem, but get an incredible insider's story and taste of this beautiful city!

We are a group of friends that came from New York to Jerusalem. We were looking for a guide and came across Shimon. His site is called Best Jerusalem Guide and he truly is. We always hoped it would be an amazing experience, and he made it so much more. He is relatable, fun and entertaining. Within minutes we felt like he was a friend and he enlightened us with his vivid storytelling and endless knowledge. Through his descriptions he gave us the feeling of being emotionally connected to the city around us. If you have a chance to spend a few hours listening to Shimon, you are very lucky. We truly cannot imagine having experienced Jerusalem without him. The rest is history.

Hello, I'm going to Israel on December 12 and I'm interested to buy your tour, however I heard that the Sea of Galilee, Capernaum and the Jordan river may be closed in some dates of December. Do you know something about that? Or can I go on and book your tour? Thank you,

היי ,
שני חברים לעבודה מגיעים לביקור ראשון בארץ ורוצים לטייל בירושלים וגם לבצע גיחה קצרה לים המלח,
יש לי כמה שאלות בנושא:
1. האם ניתן לשכור שירותים ליום שבת ?
2. מה העלות למדריך (המון המלצות על שמעון מזרחי) וכמה זמן מראש צריך להזמין אם שוב אפשרי בשבת ?
3. כמה זמן הסיור המודרך בירושלים, והאם ניתן להתחיל בצהריים עד שעות הערב (כדי לצפות בסיור בעיר דוד) ?
Written October 17, 2019
היי שלום, תודה רבה על הפנייה, לגבי שאלותיך:
1. כן אפשר לשכור את שירותיי ביום שבת
2. המחיר תלוי בתאריך, אורך הסיור, והאם הסיור כולל רכב או לא, בין $400 ל $900. מומלץ להזמין את הסיור כמה שיותר מוקדם שכן אני מדריך עסוק וימי שבת בדר"כ מבוקשים יותר.
3. אני מציע חצי יום סיור 3.5 עד 4 שעות, ויום סיור בין 6 ל 8 שעות. ניתן להתחיל בצהרים אבל בשבת גן לאומי עיר דוד סגור.
תודה רבה,
שמעון מזרחי
