Our Tour Guides
These are the critical qualities you’ll find in Israel Celebration Tours’ guides:
- Our guides are licensed by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism, which means they have been trained by the state of Israel to the highest standards.

They have the equivalent of a Masters in History.
- Our guides have many years of experience.
