Ben Lev-Kadesh

I was born in Jerusalem in 1980 and have been walking the city as far back as I can remember. Throughout the years I have learned my way through the narrow alleys, I have found the secret corners, that let you see the city's hiding places and the roofs, from which all of Jerusalem can been seen from above.

I have a BA in history and am a licensed tour guide. This combination gives me a special perspective that helps me understand the unique texture of the make up of this land.
I can promise personal treatment, and am always happy to plan a tour that will fill your special desires, needs and interests, whether you are seeing Jerusalem for the first time, or are a repeat visitor and think you have seen it all.

In addition to being a tour guide, I am also a history teacher, and I have a special connection with children and teenagers.

Long ago I realized that knowing Jerusalem is one thing, but it is something else to be able to present the city, to tell about it, in an interesting way. My tours mix legends and facts, stories and history, past and present.

It is very important to me that after we have spent a day together, you return home, with, not only the memory of the sights, the smell and the tastes of the city (for, after all, for that you don't really need a guide),  but with something extra  -  that, for which people take a guide.

People whom I have guided have told me that they returned home with not only the wonderful memories and information about the history and religions of this city, but also with a better understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the daily life and news. I think that what I have to tell about Jerusalem's past helps understand it's complicated present.
