Exclusive Private Tour in The Israel Diamond Exchange

Educational, enlightened. Guide was friendly kind and a 100% pleasure. Will do it again. One of my best things to do in Israel.

Thanks to Michael to our coordinator it was a great experience. As we were only with our family we were able to ask as many questions as possible and really learned a lot thanks to our guide Hanan. The admission fee is fair for what you see and the length of visit at the center. Amazing were the production site and the diamond exchange area. Not to forget about the feeling holding a diamond of 4 Carat in my hands!

We had the most fascinating afternoon touring the Israel Diamond Center. The intense security, city like expanse, cutting,polishing and trading areas that incorporate high tech and old world skill, we're fascinating, educational and sparkling! Hanan and Segal were amazing hosts and communication with Michael was excellent. Highly recommended!

A taxi was arranged from our hotel. Communication with Michael was excellent. My husband and I were looking for something interesting to do in Tel Aviv, we have no specific interest in jewelry. The tour was just for the two of us. Michael greeted us on the street and guided us through security. He connected us with an English speaking member of the Exchange. For the next 60 minutes we had a personal tour that was fascinating. We learned about the business aspects and got to hold diamonds and see working “cutters” as we walked through the process. The tour ended with coffee or tea in the jeweler’s shop. There was no pressure to buy. I am surprised this tour is open to the general public. I felt like we had a personal connection to see something so unique.

It was informative and we loved seeing the diamonds! Michael was also a great guide and stayed in touch with us before the experience. He even met us at the train station

I spent three unforgettable hours touring the Diamond District in Tel Aviv, and it was truly an extraordinary experience. Michael arranged a wonderful visit and coordinated meetings with Hanna and Sagil both of whom were incredibly knowledgeable and deeply involved in the industry. Their expertise and generosity with their time made the day exceptional. From the moment I entered, the level of security was striking — understandably strict, but also a reminder of the value and seriousness of the work happening inside. Once inside, they showed me the entire process up close. I learned how diamonds are cut and shaped, and how stones can be refined or even completely recut to enhance their beauty and value. Watching the precision, patience, and technical skill involved was absolutely mesmerizing. I also saw where diamonds are auctioned and traded—an entire world of its own, bustling with movement, negotiations, and expert evaluations. The complex is enormous and operates almost like a small, highly coordinated city dedicated entirely to diamonds. I truly appreciated the time that Hanna and Sagil spent with me, and the care they took to explain every step. It was an eye-opening and deeply memorable tour, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in gemstones, craftsmanship, or exploring one of Israel’s most remarkable industries.

This tour gives a unique insight into the central role of the Israel Diamond Exchange, viewing key areas, seeing the whole process from cutting to trading with expert informative guides.

Thank you Michael for organising this outstanding tour. We learnt a great deal and loved every minute learning abput Israel’s major role in the diamond industry. We recommend it as one of the best tours we have done.

I had the pleasure this afternoon of spending a few hours with my wife, Hanan and Sigal. Their warmth, hospitality, knowledge, and dedication to their trade, was simply off the charts. While we did not expect a truly behind the scenes look at the diamond industry – that’s exactly what we got. We received a first hand viewing of the manufacturing process from raw stone - to some of the most stunning pieces I’ve had the pleasure of seeing firsthand. If you are into jewelry, this is a no-brainer. And if you happen not to be into jewelry, but your significant other is lol I could not recommend this more if I tried. What a terrific way to spend some time in Tel Aviv.

This was a first rate experience. It started off when I was picked up at my hotel by a cab and driven to the exchange. The exchange is heavily secured and it’s important to know that you need to bring your passport to be let in. My hosts were incredibly knowledgeable and I learned so much about the history of the exchange, the inner workings of the exchange, how internal disputes on the exchange floor are handled by an arbitration panel, what it takes to become a licensed trader on the floor, how AI is now being used to help cut diamonds and so much more. There is an opportunity to buy diamonds and gorgeous jewelry at the end, but I was not even slightly pressured to buy. This is one of the best most interesting tours I have ever taken and I can’t recommend it enough!!
