Outstanding tour guide of Tzfat

Amichai gave us such a memorable and informative tour of the Old City of Tzfat that we felt as if we were walking through history!. He is passionate about communicating the spirituality of Tzfat and taught us about many of its outstanding rabbis who shaped the city and left a great impact on the Jewish world. He is also very kind, accommodating, and upbeat and is a pleasure to be with!

Mystical Safed - not to be missed!

Rabbi Amichai was super flexible on timing which we appreciated since we were coming up just for the day from Jerusalem. His tour grounded us in time and place, and he kept us engaged the whole way through.

Fabulous tour of the Old City in Tzefat

Rabbi Amichai Cohen guided our group with tremendous enthusiasm and expertise. We ranged in age from 5 years to 74 years and we stayed interested and engaged despite touring on an overcast cold and windy afternoon. His depth of knowledge and his ability to mix historical, religious and traditional information showed a great capacity for balance and a passion for his subject matter. I loved this tour and hope to return to Tzefat and to see Rabbi Amichai. So grateful for this opportunity.
