“We spent an incredible day with Arky last week. He took what could have potentially been a boring *kever* day of Ma’arat Hamachpela, Kever Rachel and Chevron, and turned it into a very kid-friendly and exciting day that my kids will never ever forget. We would absolutely recommend Arky to anyone searching for a family-friendly tour guide.” – Jennifer Hoffman Wise
