Udi’s academic background (BA in History – working towards MA, studies at the Faculty of Agriculture in Rehovot) combined with his love of the bible give him a profound understanding of the country. He completed his tour guide license in 1994 and has been guiding tours throughout Israel, since.
Udi’s earnest passion for sharing his knowledge with others in a way that is both humorous and serious results in many letters and return customers.
