Nice to meet you!
My name is Tali Guigui (the creator behind See Your Land Tours), and I'll be your guide in Israel. Whether we're discovering ancient gems in Jerusalem, exploring the streets of Tel Aviv, or hiking in the footsteps of our ancestors in the Judean Desert, my goal is to leave you feeling more connected to our story, our people, and our land. I offer a selection of single-day tours as well as the ability to customize a multi-day tour. Get in touch to start planning your dream trip!
My Story
Growing up in NY, I had no idea I would one day become a tour guide in Israel. I had dreams to become a doctor, an interior designer, and so many other professions I entertained. Having grown up in a modern orthodox community, I naturally attended a gap-year program in Jerusalem following high school. Soon after landing, I knew I was home and had begun the process of Aliyah--the greatest decision I've ever made (don't tell my husband or kids I said that).
Before I knew it, I was serving as a squad commander in the Israeli Air Force, speaking in our ancestral language, and living my best (and most meaningful) life. Following my service, the question lingered: what would I study? What would I "become"? I knew I loved learning about the story of the Jewish people and that I loved teaching and, somewhere along the way, I realized that being a tour guide was the perfect combination of both those passions.
Fast forward a few years (during which I received a BA in Jewish history from Tel Aviv University and a tour-guide license from the Ministry of Tourism), I currently live in heart of Jerusalem with my husband and our two girls doing what I love most: showing people like you around our beautiful land. As a tour guide, my greatest hope is that, by the end of our time together, you feel an immense sense of pride towards and connection to our story, our people, and our land.
