Andrew is a dynamo! With him you don’t just get a tour, you get an immersive experience into life in Acre, and an unbelievable sense of history and place that comes from his deep knowledge, lifelong connections, and clear passion for the work he does. I was a solo traveler and felt like I had a friend taking me around their hometown, but in Andrew’s case a friend who has significant archeological knowledge experience and passion as well as an ability to make information accessible and memorable. I wish him the very best in his important work to promote the history and archeology of the city, and hope everyone who visits can also see the city through his eyes like I did. Thank you.
A unique highly recommended tour in Acre

The tour with Andrew was unique! We have been to Acre in the past, yet Andrew took us to hidden niches, was super informative and had interesting stories to tell that made even the places we know seem new. He seems to know everybody in Acre and spiced the tour with personal stories. All along he was very attentive Excellent tour!

We had an unforgettable tour of Old Acre (Akko) with Andrew .we were looking for a meaningful and enjoyable experience — and we got so much more than we expected! Andrew was knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly passionate about the history and culture of the city. He brought the ancient walls, hidden alleyways, and bustling markets to life with fascinating stories, local insights, and a great sense of humor. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Akko. Thank you for an amazing day that we will remember for a long time!

Andrew took us on a tour through Akko with our 6,8, and 10 year old children- I was worried it would be too much for them but Andrew was so knowledgeable and engaging we all had a great time! If you're in the area I highly recommend this tour and guide!
Phenomenal, very in depth, and extremely educational!

My husband booked this tour for my second trip to Isreal for us to learn about the city of Akko and Andrew did not disappoint! His knowledge and excitement for the old city is contagious and had us hinged on every word he shared. Very thorough, patient and kind (I was battling a terrible head cold and wasn’t feeling to great at times), and extremely personable. We were very blessed to have Andrew guide us the first Saturday of February and highly recommend his tour!
Definitely worth the visit!

He kept the whole tour moving through the city, providing very informative commentary about the history and modern life in the city. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city

Andrew was the most engaging, kind, knowledgeable guide we had during our 2 week trip. He was wonderful with our 3 children (9, 12, and 14) and gave us an insiders view into Akkos past and present. So grateful that we found Andrew to make our day in Akko memorable!
