Gingi Tours Testimonials

Just wanted to tell how much I enjoyed the tours that I took with you, Jonathan. Snacking on olives, Turkish coffee and fresh pita with hummus on Mount Carmel with you and the Druze is something I’ll always remember! I also really liked the high-end shops that we stopped by, even though I’m not a shopper. Twenty five hundred year-old Phoenician blown glass isn’t something that I get to see daily! Best wishes and good luck always

Jon’s an incredible tour guide. He is such a wealth of knowledge and history, that even know our family has been to the holy city dozens of times, we each found ourselves learning something new. I would recommend him to anyone visiting Israel.

My family spent a week with Jon in Jerusalem, the area around the Dead Sea, the Galilee – it was a wonderful and memorable trip for all of us. The four members of my family have varied interests – history, religion, literature, birds, food – yet Jon was able to address all of our questions. He took care of the details involved in travel and touring – and thus made it possible for each of us to relax and fully soak in the wonder of Israel. I have recommended Jon to a number of friends – and will continue to do so.

“Last summer, my girlfriend and I had hosted family visiting Israel from abroad. With the little time we had to spend together with our family during their stay, we wanted to ensure that their first visit to Israel would include a genuine, tangible, and captivating experience. We were fortunate enough to choose Jon Goldstein of Gingi Tours who ended up taking us through a captivating and engaging walking tour of the Old City of Jaffa. As we walked through the cobblestone paths and winding alleys of the timeless city overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Jon brought its stories to life, answering everyone’s questions in depth and was a true pleasure. I’ve traveled the world and have experience many tour guides. Jon is truly exceptional, is simply one of the best in the business, and has a gift for what he does. Thank you!”

Jon was a fantastic guide for our group of 24 young professionals. He spent time talking with us and planning our trip before our departure and he only exceeded our expectation during our 8 day tour. Jon’s rich knowledge of Israel’s history and cultural helped create a memorable experience for all of our participants.

Before our wedding we wanted to expose our guests to both the obvious and obscure highlights of Israel, since we had a mix of people joining us; some were on their first trip to Israel, and others had been raised there. Jonathan put together an amazing day of artisanal culinary delights sampled in the beautiful Judean Hills that impressed our most discerning foodie friends and allowed everyone to learn about Israel on different levels. Thank you Gingi tours for an amazing experience!
