The most personal way to see Israel. I pick you up from your hotel, drive and guide the whole day, and we set the pace together — linger where you love it, skip what you don't.
The icons — told like a local
Jerusalem's Old City, Masada at sunrise, floating in the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee and old Jaffa. The places everyone should see once, with the stories most visitors never hear.

UnforgettableA night under a sky full of stars
Swap the hotel for the open desert. We set up camp together, cook dinner over the fire, share stories around the bonfire and wake up to sunrise over the cliffs.

Masada Sunrise, Ein Gedi & Dead Sea
We climbed Masada in the dark and watched the sun come up over Jordan — then breakfast with a view. He knew every story and every shortcut. Honestly the highlight of our whole trip.

“Travelling with three kids is not easy, but he made Jerusalem fun for all of us. The kids still talk about the tunnels under the Western Wall. Patient, warm and incredibly knowledgeable.”

“Cooking dinner together on the fire, the bonfire, and more stars than I have ever seen. Everything was provided — we just showed up. A truly down-to-earth experience!”

“From the Sea of Galilee to the Banias waterfall and a winery at the end of the day. The route was perfect and the pace relaxed. It felt like touring with a friend who happens to know everything.”

Camping tours
Our camping tours are the most down-to-earth thing we do — literally. You bring a sense of adventure; we bring the tents, the firewood and everything for dinner and breakfast.
Afternoon
We drive deep into the desert and pitch camp together. All the equipment is on me.
Sunset
Fresh ingredients provided — everyone gets a job (or a glass of wine and a front-row seat).
Evening
Coffee on the coals, desert tales, music and plenty of laughs.
Night
No city lights — just the Milky Way stretched across the sky.
Morning
Wake up to the cliffs glowing orange, then a hearty breakfast cooked together.
Meet your guide
I started Down to Earth because I believe the best way to discover Israel is the simple way: a small group, a good car, an open road and someone who genuinely loves this land showing you around.
I'm your driver, your guide and — by the end of the day — usually your friend. No rushing between buses, no rehearsed scripts. Just real stories, great food and the places that made me fall in love with this country.
Small groups, first names and genuine conversations — never a microphone and a flag.
The icons, plus the viewpoints, kitchens and trails only locals know.
Days built around you, with time to stop, taste, swim and simply be there.
Clear, warm and funny guiding — history without the lecture.
On the road
Sunrises, swims, bonfires and a few curious ibex. A peek at what a day with us actually looks like.
