Всем привет! После 25 лет работы в израильских силах безопасности я решил начать новую карьеру. Я профессиональный гид с дипломом от Министерства туризма. Имею несколько лет опыта вождения групп в горах в Советском Союзе и по Израилю. Я специализируюсь на истории Иерусалима всех религий и эпох, вожу группы любителей пешеходного туризма по пустыне, лесам и горам Израля. Hi there! After 25 years of working at the Israeli security forces I've decided to start a new career. I'm a licensed guide from the ministry of tourism. I have a few years of experience as an extreme tourist guide in mountain climbing in the Soviet Union and regular tours in Israel. I specialize in the topic of Jerusalem history and all the religions with all the related periods and ages.

My name is Jacob and I really love Jerusalem. I was born in America and grew up in New York. Come along for a tour of the New City of Jerusalem. We will explore the city’s history from the past to present, see the different cultures, and visit the Machane Yehuda Market. Join me to discover Jerusalem together!

Walkative was established in 2007 by a group of young enthusiasts who also happened to be licensed tour guides. Today, we operate in 20 cities in countries across all of Europe and beyond, including France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Ukraine and Israel. We have already guided more than 3 million tourists, with more than 350 000 in 2023 only! Despite this growth, we stay true to our values: be local and present the history of our cities in a professional, yet entertaining way, accessible for everybody, regardless their budget. We provide service not only in big, well established places like Berlin, Paris or Krakow, but also smaller, less known, yet no less fascinating locations, like Nice, Toruń or Lublin. We cooperate with highly trained, professional guides providing both engaging tip-based and regular fixed-price tours. And most importantly - we know our cities by heart! Join us and stay Walkative!
