Shalom, I'm Hadara!
Grab your hat. Israel is waiting
Private Israel tours with a licensed guide since 2006, for families, communities, leaders and first-time visitors
From the boardroom to the Bible to the burekas
I'm a storyteller, a mother and an explorer. Pick a hat and I'll show you how we'd spend our days
History, faith and politics. With nuance.
For leaders and groups who want the whole story
I guide senior US government leaders, global executive teams, Federation missions and Ivy League treks. Expect hard questions answered honestly, and time with the people behind the headlines.
A day with me
Scroll along, it's a long day!

Storyteller, mother, explorer
Hi, I'm Hadara. I'll be your guide
I was born in the US, grew up in Jerusalem, and now raise my four kids in Tel Aviv. I became one of the youngest licensed guides of my class, and I've been guiding ever since 2006.
I've guided senior US government leaders and global executive teams, Federation missions and university groups, and families on the trip of their lives. What I love most is the moment Israel stops being a place on the news and becomes yours.
Over 5,000 people follow my days on Facebook.
The whole trip, handled
Hotels, private drivers, special events and the little details in between. Ask, and I'll arrange it, so all you need to do is arrive.
Let's plan something wonderful
