ABOUT US
The Guide
Meet David
I am a licensed Israeli tour guide with a lifelong passion for the Land of Israel and its tremendous history, incredible natural and cultural diversity, breathtaking beauty, Abrahamic faiths born from its soil, and world-leading technological innovations.
My background as a former Australian Judge - with specialist experience in land disputes, town planning cases, and appeals against government decisions - has given me a distinctive ability to explain complex issues, weigh competing perspectives, and communicate clearly with people from all walks of life.
With me, you won’t just see Israel. You’ll understand it.
Why Choose TourWise Israel?
ABOUT
Rare Insight
Deep Knowledge
Tailored Journeys
Most guides tell you what you’re looking at.
I help you understand why it matters.
Drawing on deep analytical skills to bring clarity to complexity, I bring the true significance of each place to life.
This comes from a lifetime of study, curiosity and connection to this land - its history, geography, geopolitics and religions - combined with formal qualifications as a licensed tour guide, delivered in an engaging, accessible and enjoyable way.
No two people are the same.
Every tour is shaped around you - your interests, your pace, your questions - ensuring the experience is as personally meaningful as it is memorable.
Happy Clients
Our tour with David was magnificent.
His knowledge is broad and impressive and it is wonderful to have a tour guide who is as enthusiastic as any participant. David took us to locations that we would not otherwise have discovered and illuminated the significance of each one.
Highly recommended!
R’ Michael and Judith
We were hugely looking forward to our two day trip up north with David as our tour guide and he absolutely did not disappoint us.
Everything was meticulously planned, he chose interesting locations to visit and he combined factual information with visual guides and clear explanations. He was patient and answered all our questions. David was calm, friendly and humorous … we are waiting to book our next trip (and we just got home!)
Sharon and Daniel
My Tours
Every tour begins the same way: I ask, and I listen. Understanding who you are and what draws you to the Holy Land is how I craft an experience that is genuinely yours.
Whether you’re visiting Israel for the first time or you think you’ve already seen it all, I will show you places, perspectives and connections that will astonish, move and stay with you.
