We had a wonderful tour experience!
Medad is amazing! Very knowledgeable in all the history of tzfas from all the wars to the culture
has a great sense of humor and will explain anything you ask
would highly recommend I only took a 2 hour tour but could've done a whole day! (Joseph Kohn. April 4th 2022 ).
Medad was an amazing tour guide!
He kept the kids enthralled while teaching everyone about the holy city of Sfat.
He took us to places only a local would know, and shared his knowledge of the holy sites.
He was dynamic, singing and dancing with us all, well prepared and lots of fun.
We especially loved the 500 yr old underground houses, and other places only a local would know.
Would highly recommend. especially to families with kids (Mali Wolofson, N.Y)
I hired Medad on Feb 3 2020 to give me a half day private tour of Tsfat.
I have had many professional guides throughout Israel and elsewhere and can say that Medad is one of the best.
He is knowledgeable (historically, archeologically and religiously), engaging, witty, kind and energetic and his English is very good.
He gladly answered dozens of questions on many topics and was flexible to adjust the tour to meet my interests.
I give him my highest recommendation!
Thanks again BTW - to was really a very special day, thanks to you!
God bless you and your family MICA PRYOR, J.D. REALTOR®

Medad took our family round Zefat.
We have children age 16,14 and 8 - he kept them interested the whole time (which is no mean feat!)
We got taken to fascinating places and learnt about the ancient and modern history of the city -
thoroughly recommended. (Stephen Goldman. April. 21st 2022)
