Andrew our guide provided us with a in depth and personal guide experience, he was an enthusiastic storyteller and painted a vivid picture of what life was like in Akko throughout the history of this amazing place, we were very happy with our experience!

Excellent, engaging local Akko guide

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!

Andrew (tour guide) was unbelievable. His deep knowledge of Akko history and local population made this excursion truly memorable

Great Experience with Andrew

Sandra_C, Oct 2022
Akko is a hidden gem. Andrew is much more than a tour guide - he is a local, an archeologist and incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his hometown of Akko. I highly recommend spending a half day with Andrew visiting this historically important town and visiting the hidden corners of Akko with Andrew.
