“Our family of six spent 7 days being guided by Oren across the top half of Israel. As well as an extraordinary depth of knowledge, Oren had the rare ability to quickly assess our family’s needs and expectations, and pace our itinerary accordingly. He also took us to wonderful locations off the tourist radar, and was an absolute pleasure to deal with and accompany our family at all times. By the end of our tour, our children looked forward to seeing him each morning. We cannot recommend him highly enough."

“Hi Oren,
Thanks so much for sending the photos!
We are still traveling so will get a chance to look at them when we get home. I’m sure they will be great!
Thanks again for everything. We all had a wonderful trip!
Warm regards.”

“We hired Oren guiding services for one-day trip to Jerusalem for our guest from the US who came to visit our high-tech business.
It was excellent and exactly what needed after a long week of meetings. Oren knew how to do the right combination that many other guides we’ve worked with lacks – on the one hand to take us to places of interest who fascinate all who come to Jerusalem for the first time, and on the other to give us the needed “space” with our guests from abroad so we can use the time to deepen our relationships with our customers and not only deepening their knowledge of history.
All was “flowing” exactly as we asked, while showing flexibility and utmost professionalism.
Thank you!”

“Hi Oren,
Just looking at all the great pictures you and David took and reliving our wonderful trip. Deciding to have a tour guide was the best decision we made and feel very fortunate that it turn out to be you! You made Israel come alive and took us to places we didn’t expect to see. Ww loved the archeological aspects of the tour – just what we wanted to learn about.
We miss you already!!
Fondly,
Joab and David”

“My family and I have been in Israel for several days now and I couldn’t even wait to get home to write this review.
I can’t say enough about how wonderful our tour guide Oren Solell was and how much he truly enriched our trip. Oren put our needs and expectations paramount above all else and did everything he could to make our experience in Israel an amazing one.
He was always on time (if not early). Polite, funny, and tremendously informative and effective in seeking out and giving us all the history and relative contemporary information about our requested sites and destinations. He would take us anywhere we wanted to go and advised us cautiously if he thought it was not on our best interest to go to certain places (only for our safety).
This is my first trip to Israel and I can honestly say this has been the trip of a lifetime and Oren has been one of the main contributing factors to this unforgettable experience.
Thank you Oren and Rent-a-Guide for hiring such an amazing tour guide”.

“I am so glad Oren was my tour guide for my first trip to Israel. He was proactive in learning limitations of the various sites we wanted to visit so that we could plan our day and see everything we wanted to see.
He made everything seem seamless, so we didn’t have to worry about tons of little things. Hos knowledge of history colored with his personal experiences kept us engaged.
Overall, this let to a very enjoyable tour.
Thanks again.”

“Hi Oren,
Marianne and I visited Israel in September 2012. We visited with you Jerusalem, North Israel and Tel Aviv.
We felt soon after meeting you that we have known you for a long time. Marianne and I enjoyed your company and learnt a lot about the past and the present of Israel. You were open minded about what to see and took into account our interest. In addition to the general schedule you had in mind, you changed it to make the visit more interesting and meaningful. Your comments about history, current affairs and politics were fascinating. One cannot compare a private tour to a group and we are so glad that we participated in a private tour and in particular in your tour.
There is a lo to see in Israel and we saw a small part only. Should we return to Israel – and we hope we will – we will contact you and organize a tour with you.
I sent you photos and if you would like any more photos about what we saw in Israel or other places we visited please let me know.
We are happy to provide reference about your tour should someone require it.
In turn we wish you and your family a peaceful, healthy and happy 2013.
Peter and Marianne”.

“Hi,
Thank you so much for being so patient with my family and showing us around in Israel. We were so fortunate to get to know you and hope to see you soon.
Extra thank you for very late and very early ride to airport!

“Dear Oren,
As I adjust to the time difference and get settled back in NY, I reflect on the last two weeks.
The trip was absolutely amazing. This having been my first trip to Israel, it was everything I had anticipated and more.
Your expertise, knowledge and experience was informative, enlightening and made the trip not only enjoyable but fabulous.
Your kind manner made it easy to spend two weeks touring with you. I cannot thank you enough for taking me to the 9/11 memorial (which I had no knowledge of). It was moving and comforting at the same time. To know that Israel has acknowledge an American loss after all that the Israeli’s have lived through is amazing.
This was truly a trip of a lifetime. One that has left me yearning to come back.
If you ever find yourself in NY, please let me know so that I can show you our wonderful city.
Again thanks.”
