I had researched multiple providers for personal tour guiding and settled with Gideon – mainly due to his responsiveness and flexibility. The trip was a great success for us and Gideon’s service was fundamental to that. From the […]

Back in Chicago and once again I want to thank you for showing us Israel its past, presence and future. There is an old saying " if you want to plan for one year of growth plant seeds but if you want to plan for 100 years of growth plant relationships". I know our family has planted a rich relationship with Israel because of you and your efforts the last two weeks. Have a happy and health 2011. All our best the Krawetz family.
Dear Gideon,
I hope you and your family are well. I wanted to thank you again for the
wonderful experiences and insight you provided Kathy and I and the kids
during the trip. I still think about the days we traveled together as if it
was yesterday. While we were traveling one day I used the word
"perpetuity".You indicated you were interested in the meaning. Perpetuity or
perpetual means something will be forever. Hopefully, we will get back to
Israel in the next few years .

Just a quick word of THANKS for being a wonderful, educational, and
entertaining guide for Anne and me (and Brent, sometimes) while we
were in
Israel this past week or so.
We truly had a terrific time and learned a lot, thanks to you.
I particularly appreciated your patience with my slowness in getting

Again, thanks!

P.S. How are the girls in Israel this week?
Gideon:
We are back into our routines in New York City but missing the beauty of the
Sea of Galilee and another day of touring with you. I cannot ever thank you
enough for what was the best vacation we ever had. To experience Israel as
a family with you to guide our eyes, our emotions and our thoughts was truly
unforgettable. Your stories touched all of us and we returned home with a
much greater understanding of the beauty, the history and the struggle of
Israel. And on top of everything else- you took such good care of us-
feeding us delicious food, adjusting schedules and hotels, keeping an eye on
Jessie, and letting us sleep or waking us up with your "hello" to make sure
we saw the sights.

Thank you for sharing so much with us. We hope we can treat you
to some of the same when you come to New York City this fall.

Take care Gideon-

Dear Gidon,
In planning this trip for ourselves, we had hoped this would be a long awaited experience of our lifetime.
However, we never imagined it would exceed far more than our expectation.
Because of you, this trip has transformed and enriched our lives in ways we never could have known until being here with your guidance and direction.
We hope you know how very much we appreciate all you did for us these past days we have spent together.
Until our next visit,
love,

Alot of catching up to do do here & we both started back to work on Monday. Both Stuart & I are still on such "a high' from our experience in Israel, we cannot stop talking & reminiscing about how wonderful everything was & how you helped make so fantastic for us.
Stuart has passed your name onto 2 groups of friends who have said they want to get to Israel in the next year..
What has happened with your new car? Did you get the color and dent situation straightened out to your satisfaction?
I know you'll be getting a note from Stuart very soon
Stuart & I wish you & your family a very meaningful & enjoyable Passover.

Dear Gideon,

I know by now you have probably forgotten about the Kline / Rubinstein family already but we have not forgotten about you. As a matter of fact, this last week we were all together in Las Vegas talking about how wonderful our time in Israel was and you were a very big part of the reason. Really, I can not thank you enough. Between all of the stories you told us about the history and all of the places you showed us truly had such an impact on us. I can not wait to return. Of course it will be some time until I will be able to visit the Holy-Land again but when I do you better expect a phone call from me.

Well, I hope to hear that you and your family is well and happy.

The truth is, that I just wanted to keep in touch with you, I hope you don't mind, and thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

Warm regards and a Happy and Healthy New Year!
I wanted to write you a note to thank you again for the wonderful and life changing experience you were part of in my first visit to Israel!

It was truly a pleasure and have remarkable memories and photos.

Have a good day!

My family of four went to Israel from December 21-January 3 of this past year. We employed a personal tour guide for 9 days to drive us through the country, taking us to the highlights and explaining the significance of all that we saw.
We were assigned Gideon Hermon.
We met Gideon on our first morning, and we knew this would be a wonderful experience. His van was clean and comfortable. He showed us his stock of candy (perfect for our daughters, ages 19 and 15) and told us the itinerary for the entire trip. We added some additional stops and altered the itinerary slightly to suit our needs based on Gideon’s recommendations.
Gideon Hermon is a storehouse of history both past and present. He has the ability to make history come alive and peak the curiosity of an onlooker, irregardless of their age. Using his ample supply of maps, diagrams, and photos, we left each site with knowledge and understanding.
Being a history fan, I would study in advance, on the places we were scheduled to visit each day. I would ask Gideon a lot of questions, some were a little trivial, and some were a little repetitious. He never lost his patience or made me feel insignificant for my inquisitive nature.
Along the way, we ate the best food. Gideon knows the best falafel and hummus restaurants throughout Israel. He took us to his favorite candy store in Tiberias, and we stocked up on sweets much to the delight of our daughters!
We ventured off the beaten path. Gideon took us to out of the way places where tours do not usually go. When he saw that one of our daughters loved shoes, he took us to the Naot factory. When my husband told him that his mother lived on Kibbutz Alonim, he took us to that kibbutz. He was totally accommodating, always with a smile, and always with a fantastic sense of humor.
At the end of our 9 days with Gideon, we felt like he was a family member. He saw us laugh and fight. He got to know each of us, and we will always smile when we think of Gideon and our memories of Israel.
We give Gideon Hermon the highest of praise. I would recommend him to anyone needing a tour guide in Israel. He is knowledgeable, professional, kind, courteous, respectful, and thoroughly entertaining!
Most sincerely,
The Hauser family
