Rabbi Eitan is a very knowledgeable and attentive tour guide. He was very patient with our kids ages 3 to 12. We really appreciated that his stories were age-appropriate and were the highlight for the trip for the kids. Yasher koach!

“A Truly Memorable Day”
Rabbi Eitan took our family, including four kids ( teen to adult) my sister and brother-in-law and my 72-year-old uncle on a wonderful day trip to Masada, Ein Gedi and the Dead Sea. He provided us with a comfortable van, which he drove, pointing out interesting sites along the way. His pleasant, easy-going personality was perfect for our diverse group. He was a wealth of fascinating information which he had right at his fingertips. I was thrilled to not have to worry about the arrangements and scheduling. Once he picked us up at my uncle’s hotel, we were able to leave everything in his capable hands and just enjoy a memorable day spent together as a family.

“Well-planned, well-executed tour of the old city.”
Rabbi Eitan Day Tours took the time in advance of our meeting to learn more about our areas of interest, preferred pace, and background knowledge. Our guide met us prepared with scriptural passages providing biblical and/or historical context that enhanced our walk-throughs, helping them come to life. Clearly well-educated, he managed to present a non-partisan survey of the modern political climate that sits at the top layer of thousands of years of history, and this help draw the whole day together very nicely. Highly recommended.
