“I booked Arky to take my family on a tour of the old city of Jerusalem. We have 3 boys, ages 3, 7 and 9. Arky had the kids hooked from the very beginning till the end of the day. He was entertaining, hands on, patient with our questions, and our kids had an absolute BLAST while learning so much. the tour was fun, exciting, thrilling, and so educational all at the same time. literally one of the best days we’ve had in a long time! We can’t wait to book our next trip and see what else Arky can show us!!!!” -Chana Wiener
