Jeff Katz Email & Phone Number

I am a licensed tour guide with the Ministry of Tourism. I was born in Toronto, Canada. I moved to Israel when I was 19, over 50 years ago. After my army service as an officer in the IDF’s Artillery Corps, I attended the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, where I received a BSc in Civil Engineering. I also worked in hi-tech industries and created one of the Israel’s top inns from ruins in the mystical city of Safed (Tzfat), the Artists’ Colony Inn. As a tour guide, I will share my love and knowledge of Israel with you. I will make the landscape come alive with stories and tales. I have guided astronauts, diplomats, university deans, a king, news reporters, CEOs and various missions.​My tours include many interesting places and cities. These include visits, for example, to hi-tech industries, agricultural settlements, award winning wineries, an olive oil soap factory, archeological sites, historical towns, nature reserves, a shady boulevard with Bauhaus architecture, Druze and Circassian villages and observation points, which will help explain the complex military and security situations in the region. And being a father and grandfather myself, I appreciate the importance of creating a wonderful and bonding touring experience for the whole family. My tours include many fun filled activities that will enrich the Israel experience for everyone.
