Portrait of Robby Berman

The short version

Robby is the only tour guide in Israel who is all three of these at once:

  1. A Harvard graduate
  2. A stand-up comic who has appeared on the Israeli Tonight Show
  3. A native English speaker who also speaks Hebrew and Arabic

A tour that works for the history buff, the first-time visitor and the kids at the same time.

Where you can go

Three ways to spend the day

Jerusalem

All four quarters of the Old City, the Mount of Olives and the Israel Museum, plus corners that most Jerusalemites have never found.

Jaffa & Tel Aviv

Old Jaffa, the American Colony and old Tel Aviv, including a full-day walk from Jaffa up into Tel Aviv.

Anywhere in Israel

Robby guides all over the country. Tell him what you want to see and he'll build the day around it.

Guests who thought they'd seen it all

  • “Robby was hilarious and educational at the same time! The adults and the children loved him!”
    Jeff Goldstein
  • “I have been to Tel Aviv and Jaffa a million times so I could not believe how much I learned from Robby's full-day walking tour from Jaffa to Tel Aviv. I walked by so many things without noticing them.”
    Michael Stern, Australia
  • “We spent a full hour exploring just Jaffa Gate of the Old City of Jerusalem. I have walked through it a thousand times and I never knew of all the history there.”
    Sara Green, London
  • “As an Orthodox Jew I never really had any interest in seeing the Christian and Muslim Quarter. Robby showed me what I was missing.”
    Dina Weiss, LA
