Jonathan Franks - Israel Tours

As a tour guide I’ve seen a lot of “ best” views of Jerusalem but I think this one tops them all! Yesterday I went to an introduction to the new Tower of David museum for guides and we were allowed to climb up the 500 year old, recently restored, ottoman minaret! Both the view and new museum are amazing! The minaret is not open to the general public but special access can be arranged via a guide ( like me!)

When you hire a guide, you don’t just get someone with historical knowledge of a site, guides ALSO know really important details like at a junction, do we go left? Or right? Where to eat..Where the bathrooms are etc etc

I was lucky enough to have the BEST partner today for my “Recon trip!’”
