It’s not been an easy period for tourism anywhere in the world and particularly in Israel. Since March 2020 non-citizens have not been allowed into the country (except if they meet special conditions). But I did still manage to do some tours and also made some online presentations for people overseas.

So it’s very special to be recognised by the Luxury Travel Guide as the Private Tour Specialist of the Year for Israel.

I understand that this year the awards have taken into account past performance given the drastic reduction in numbers of tourists, together with how travel businesses have adapted to COVID regulations and restrictions.

I’m grateful for the award and look forward to welcoming many tourists on private tours to Israel as soon as the government allows!
