Exceptional Guide!
Uri guided a tour of Jerusalem’s Old City for a group of researchers and museum educators from Germany, Rwanda, France, and Israel, as part of an international seminar we held at the Ghetto Fighters’ House.
I honestly cannot say enough about how impressed we were. Uri’s knowledge is extraordinary, but what really stood out was the way he shared it - with passion, elegance, sensitivity, and a real understanding of the very diverse group he was guiding. Jerusalem is not an easy place to navigate, historically or emotionally, and he managed to bring its complexity to life, keeping the group engaged, curious and perplexed (in a very good way).
It was a fascinating and deeply meaningful day, and Uri was a huge part of that. I recommend him wholeheartedly and will absolutely continue working with him in the future.
Operator response
Thank you Lorenn so much for this wonderful review. I truly enjoyed spending time with you and your group. I’m glad I could contribute a small part to the important work you do.

Can’t imagine any better
Uri has such a depth of knowledge and he painstakingly shares all the details. Not only does he have tons of information but he also gets an A plus for his efforts to share it with us. He was with our group for over a week and he wowed us every day. Excellent is the word that comes to mind for describing his service.

Unreserved recommendation
Possessed of an encyclopaedic knowledge of modern and ancient history and with his own personal experiences to access, Uri is perfectly placed to lead knowledgeable and information hungry groups through the Holy Land. Equally important, he has the personal skills to understand how much information is required and when so that you don’t receive information when what you really want is a moment of quiet. All combined, it made our ten day trip very special. I can unreservedly recommend him to any group.

Israel with Uri
We were with Uri for a week and his guidance was absolutely exceptional. He is not only friendly and funny, he gave us an education that changed our views entirely of the Middle East. We highly recommend him.

Pilgrimage trip to the Holy Land
My church just got back from 2 week pilgrimage trip to Israel. Our tour guide’s name was Uri Goldflam. He was so informative of the holy land and gave wealth of information from the moment we got on the bus in the mornings to the moment we step off the bus in the evening. His knowledge of the Israel enhanced our experience!! I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.
