Ziv Cohen made our trip to Israel a rich and memorable experience. The trip was well planned based on our preferences. Every stop featured a full explanation of the history and cultural significance of what we were seeing and experiencing. Every detail was thought through and made our travels easy and fun! Ziv is very knowlegable about history, politics, archeology, religion and culture. I challenge you to ask a question he can't answer! (sometimes he says "You are not asking the right question!"). Most of all, our trip was safe, comfortable and fun! And the food? Fantastic - Ziv knows many spots where the locals eat and you won't be disappointed.

There are no words that are sufficient to describe the tour by Ziv. Excellence!!
He was knowledgeable, passionate and flexible. He gave us the more than can be expected. Everyone knew him wherever we went.
He was prompt, communicated with us at all times. For a 2 day cruise stop in Jerusalem Ziv made us experience everything. Even a camel ride!
Nothing was too much for him.
We did. Jericho, Camel ride,River Jordan, Masada, all of sites in Jerusalem except the Shrine of the book(scrolls were not on display) and Holocaust Museum (it would have been disrespectful to try to rush through such an important place)
He also educated us on the history and culture of Israel.

A trip to Israel is incomplete without taking Ziv's amazing tours. He is increibly knowledgble about Israel's history across all of its geographies and knows how to deliver truly one-of-a-kind experineces. He is phenomenal for larger groups as well, and offers an incredibly comfortable (great Mercedes van) and organized service. He is hands down the best tour guide that I have ever taken and cannot recommend him enough.

We had 21 in our group and spent 9 days touring Israel with Ziv! We started at Joffa and spent the first night at the city of Netanya. From there we traveled north to Tiberias on the sea of Galilee. It was a beautiful setting and was one of the most memorable parts of the tour for me! We then toured south and spent one night on the Dead Sea, a night at Beersheva, and concluded with 3 days at Jerusalem! Ziv is knowledgeable, organized, punctual, kind, and fun! I emphasis "organized and punctual" because it's important to have a guide that stays on schedule without making you feel rushed. I have a 1" workbook full of notes and 1200 pictures. My wife and I had an incredibly wonderful time that exceeded our expectations. WHEN we go back to Israel we will book it with Ziv!!!

We're a family a four with 2 teens. Noam gave us an amazing tour of Jerusalem, from the top of the Mount of Olives through the maze of quarters in the Old City. His energy, knowledge and storytelling made the trip educational and fun. Could not recommend him more. We'll definitely book him again when in Israel. Sending all of our friends his way!!!

We saw and learned so much that was far more than I ever expected. Ziv truly loves what he does. He is a walking wealth of knowledge. His energy level is amazing and so is his attitude! He has a great one! He pretty much knew the answer to any question that we had. We are already planning to go back and will definitely aim to have Ziv as our personal tour guide. He was great and very resourceful!!!

Ziv has done an amazing job showing us around Israel in 6 days. His deep knowledge of history, his love of his profession and country clearly come though having made this trip to Israel an unforgettable one for us and making it one of our best trips.
Israel is an amazing Country and having the right guide is essential. Ziv went out of his way to make our stay amazing and not least, his Restaurant recommendations could not have been better
Thank you Ziv

We hired Ziv Cohen to be our guide for 4 days. We met in Tel Aviv and toured Caesarea, Haifa, Safed, Jerusalem and a few other places. Ziv is warm, personable, extremely knowledgeable and fun. Additionally, he knows so many people and they all seem fond of him. Ziv really knows history and conveys his knowledge in a very personable and understandable manner. Ziv really goes out of his way to ensure his clients have a great experience. Additionally, he continually seeks feedback from his clients as to what their itinerary is and whether they want to change it. He is extremely flexible. Every day we would ask Ziv to recommend a restaurant for that evening and his recommendations were always spot on. Lastly, it is very challenging to drive and park in Israel. Ziv is a very careful driver and an amazing parker.
I couldn't recommend him more highly. He is absolutely a 5 star guide.

What a remarkable experience, Ziv is incredible.
I don’t think we could have asked for a better tour guide. Ziv was with us from our arrival at the airport in Tel Aviv until he saw us off on the day of our departure. He was very intentional on making sure we experienced as much as possible and that our experience was comfortable and enjoyable as well.
Ziv is full of knowledge regarding the religious, historical and cultural aspects of Israel and he guided us through it all as if we were a group of friends out sightseeing. He is personable, genuine and above all he has a great sense of humor.
Definitely 5 stars.

What a blessing! Ziv led us for 10 days last week as our licensed Israel tour guide for a church group of 32. As a group leader, I have had experience with other guides, and by far, he exceeded my high expectations! Ziv connects individually with each member, providing that extra personal touch, and you leave knowing you've made a friend for life!
He is thoroughly knowledgeable about the many people groups and faiths we experienced and provides a wide perspective of cultural and historical references that added to our appreciation of the Holy Land. He knew volumes about our Christian faith and related personally to our desire to walk in the steps of Jesus.
His service begins with greeting you at the airport and handling all aspects of arrangements including getting you through customs at the end of the tour. He is a master at finding the least crowded and best lunch spots, negotiating through travel issues that may arise (weather, etc.) to provide better opportunities to meet your trip goals, and his connections with quality vendors and trip partners is extensive.
Others have mentioned his great leading of smaller groups, but with our size group he shined, and we unanimously had a most enjoyable trip with him. Our next trip in 18 months will be with him! Look no further for a humorous, experienced guide that makes the lands of the Bible come alive! For those not wishing a religious tour, Ziv is a master at relating culture and history, as well. You can rely on him!

Does Ziv do private tours to Eilat & Petra? I’m planning a pre trip excursion with a flight fromTel Aviv to Eilat, 2 nights at hotel in Eilat, 1 day tour of Petra with lunch & all the necessary visas etc pick up at Jordanian border, return to hotel in Eilat, & next day to airport to return to Tel Aviv. What would something like that cost for 2 people in early Oct 2018? And what would it cost if Ziv arranged the entire trip ? Thanks for any info you can provide.
