To start with a rating from 1—10 whereas 10 is excellent I would rate my trip with Itamar as 11.
This was my second time I did a desert tour and second time with Itamar, but this time I was on my own. To those women they like to do their own thing, I can highly recommend Itamar. He is trustful, highly respectful, it is a lot of fun, you learn a lot and he just prepares the best hikes customized for you. You are safe at all times. And due to a thousand thanks to his wife you will have the best food on your trip as well. Just make sure you can really eat everything as it will be a lot. I promise you will not starve at all on your trip.
Coming back on the sceneries of the desert, I love the beauty of the landscape, the colors and the amazing silent. Itamar always chooses the right path for you, not the tourist one, but very special and unforgettable. He can organize small and easy ones or a 10h daily hike going up the hills, Machteschs the whole time :)
I will definitely come back and explore more.
See you next time.
Best regards

We were on a sunrise trip to Masada and the Dead Sea with students from abroad and Itamar guided them in English. The guidance at Masada was very good and interesting. He was able to quickly identify subjects of interest of the group and went with the flow on various subjects. Itamar managed to add several anecdotes about the surroundings. Itamar is very pleasant and the guidance took place in a good and fun atmosphere. I recommend!

Family trip
We booked Itamar for a trip with a few families with children in the second grade. Before the trip we received from him various options for trips that suited the number of participants and the children’s age. We went with the guides recommendation and chose an amazing trail with gorgeous views. During the trip Itamar caught the children’s interest with riddles and made the trip interesting, challenging and pleasant.
Highly recommended!
We went on a trip to the Dead Sea region with the most adult scouts (10th to 12th grade) in order to prepare them for an upcoming trip with their younger fellow scouts. The information about the region that Itamar selected to share with us was excellent. He informed us about the regional flora and fauna, and integrated some historical background that was very much of interest for the group. He also shared riddles and and games with us along the route which we like a lot.
Recommended! Excellent guide
Trip with scoutmasters
Dear Itamar
We enjoyed ourselves very much. The 8th grade from the Harduf School had fun with your very informative hike in the Zin Valley. You managed well to connect with the teens, offered us a suitable guidance with interesting content and with an experiential taste.
We enjoyed every moment of the tour.
Rise and succeed!

Excellent guide! Itamar is an intelligent, humorous and sensitive person!
We traveled with Itamar for two days along Nahal Tavor. We were a large group of highschool-aged scoutmasters. Itamar was attentive to our requests, helped us find an alternative finishing point and offered us effective alternatives. He is very pleasant and accessible and the scoutmasters felt comfortable approaching him with requests and questions. Warmly recommended :)
