My husband and I were privileged to have Jonathan Kohn as our guide through historical and biblical Israel, March 8-19, 2015.

A licensed tour guide, Jonathan has taken classes in Christianity and has an extensive grasp of the archaeological sites, including Masada, Herodium and Capernaum. His explanation of Israel’s politics was the best we’ve ever heard, and we feel he has an unbiased view of his country and the rest of the Middle East. He also has a great sense of humor. 

Jonathan was born in the United States, and his English is excellent. His backpack seemed to have everything in it, including a bird book. He is the best guide we’ve had in 50 years of travel. 

While we were on tour with a group, Jonathan’s daily private rate is $350. Reach him at jonskohn@hotmail.com or on Facebook at “Yonatan’s Tours Israel.”
