What We Offer
Lauren Baumann2023-07-26Amir was an incredible guide. We had a memorable visit to the Old City, which entered into our family book of special memories. Over the course of the day he provided us with multiple perspectives on Jerusalem, including historical events, architecture and current social and political issues. Amir has a true talent connecting with people. He has plenty of positive energy!
Caroline Namrow2023-06-14Great guide! Very responsive , knows his stuff , recommending whole heartedly .
Toni Prat2023-01-02We had a trip to Jerusalem with Amir, he was fantastic. He sow the city and made a great explanation of the historical spots. He was flexible and knowledgeable and we had a lot of fun, totally worth it!
Martin Freeman2022-09-10Amir (Katz) was fantastic. He tailor made a 2 day itinerary for me and a friend from our hotel in Haifa to the Galilee and Golan. Yet Amir was flexible with last minute requests for changes in the itinerary. Amir is knowledgeable and personable - there were no periods of lapsed conversation. Amir made sure we hydrated (98 degrees F when we toured) and our footing was secure when on trails. Definitely see the beautiful North of Israel with Amir.
Matthew Turner2022-08-22Amir was amazing! I really can’t say enough great things about the tour he took me on - he did a great job of tailoring it precisely to my interests, knew everything and everyone of relevance, and had a meticulous plan which he could adapt flawlessly on the spot. Amir truly made my day in Jerusalem unforgettable, and I can’t recommend him enough!
Alex Salsberg2022-06-17Amir gave us an unforgettable tour of the Old City in Jerusalem, full of so much humor, spirituality, history and heart! We absolutely loved our afternoon touring with him and felt like we learned so much in such a short time. So much fun and such a great time, highly recommend!
My name is Amir Katz and it is my honor and privilege to welcome you to Beyond Israel Travel. Ours is a boutique tour company that is designed to offer our guests the best trips in Israel as we know how to build them. Our tours aim to be short, (between one and three days), and most importantly, impactful. We have a dozen outstanding tours that our team has designed to make us unique in the industry, and based on where we feel our guests will most benefit from our approach. These tours are also all-inclusive (even meals) so our guests don’t have to worry about hidden fees and can rely on our vast experience in order to feel they are receiving the benefits of our industry connections and know-how. We ask you to have faith in us as your hosts, and in return, we want you to feel the warmth and welcoming of our hospitality and share in the love for what we do, Travel!
As the founder of B.I.T., I act as both a guide and owner of the company. While this means I’m very busy, it allows me to fulfill my role as host, by welcoming some groups in person, and when I’m not guiding groups, to place our guests in the best of hands with a distinguished short-list of outstanding guides with whom we work. This allows me to keep my finger on the pulse and understand the different pieces of the tours we’ve created, how to guide them to the best of my abilities, and to work hard in order to train our guides to fulfill our responsibility to our clients. Indeed, a great Rabbi once said, “Judaism is not a religion, it’s a relationship”. We want to foster a meaningful relationship with our guests so they can share in our passion for great travel in Israel, and beyond!
