About me
Hello, I'm Maayan, a licensed Israeli tour guide with over a decade of experience leading travelers throughout Israel.
I hold a B.A. in Israel Studies from the University of Haifa and am certified by Israel's Ministry of Tourism. Over the years, I have guided a wide range of groups, including families, educational groups, corporate teams, and visitors from around the world.
My passion for Israel stems from a love of its landscapes, rich history, and remarkable human diversity. I enjoy bringing these layers together through storytelling, helping travelers connect not only with the places they visit, but also with the people, ideas, and experiences that shape the country.
In addition to guiding, I spent five years working for a boutique travel company, designing tailor-made itineraries and experiences for international visitors, including individuals, families, groups, and missions. This experience sharpened my ability to create thoughtful, personalized days that combine history, culture, food, nature, and meaningful encounters – each one carefully adapted to the interests and goals of the group.
In recent years, I have expanded my work to include nature-based workshops and experiences. These programs invite participants to slow down, reconnect with themselves and one another, and experience the restorative power of nature through engaging and meaningful activities.
Whether you're visiting Israel for the first time or returning to explore it more deeply, I would be delighted to create and personally guide an experience tailored to your interests, combining discovery, connection, and enjoyment in a way that will stay with you long after your visit.
I look forward to exploring Israel with you.
Maayan
