I
spent
months
researching
travel
in
Israel
and
creating
an
itinerary
for
my
family
to
visit
this
extraordinary
and
historical
part
of
the
world
for
more
than
two
weeks.
I
soon
realized
that
because
the
entire
country
is
so
steeped
in
political,
biblical,
religious,
and
world
history,
it
would
be
impossible
to
see
and
understand
it
in
a
meaningful
way
without
input
from
an
expert
local
guideāand
I
set
out
to
search
the
internet,
travel
guides,
and
travel
magazines
for
the
best
private
tour
guide
in
Israel.
After
many
hours
of
research,
I
decided
to
contact
Arik
from
Arik
Private
Tours
in
Israel.
Hiring
Arik
to
drive
us
all
over
the
countryāfrom
north
to
south
and
east
to
westāand
show
and
tell
us
about
the
extraordinary
geography
and
history
of
Israelāturned
out
to
be
a
great
decision.
Arik
picked
us
up
every
morning
and
was
in
a
good
mood
as
we
set
out
to
explore
another
part
of
Israel.
Arik
is
exceptionally
knowledgeable
about
religious
history
and
the
history
of
Israel
and
the
middle
east.
But
what
makes
Arik
a
great
tour
guide
is
that
he
is
also
very
personable,
fun,
authentic,
and
wittyāand
he
embodies
the
local
Israeli
culture.
Through
our
interactions
with
Arik
over
the
course
of
almost
two
weeksāand
watching
Arik
interact
with
local
Jewish
and
Muslim
peopleāwe
gained
real
insight
into
the
local
culture
and
gained
a
special
understanding
of
life
in
Israel.
Now,
long
after
our
time
with
Arik
in
Israel,
we
still
fondly
remember
him
and
quote
some
of
his
one-liners.
If
you
are
looking
for
a
private
tour
guide
in
Israel
who
will
do
more
than
drive
you
from
site
to
site
and
recite
some
of
the
historical
significance
of
each
location,
you
should
stop
looking
and
contact
Arik.
You'll
be
glad
you
did
and
the
memories
you
make
with
Arik
will
last
a
lifetime.
