About Me
My name is Oren Cytto, I am a professional, licensed tour guide.
I was born in New Jersey, USA, and moved to Jerusalem as a child at the age of six.
One of my greatest passions is to travel around Israel and around the world as I truly believe that there is no better way to get to know new people, discover unknown places and become acquainted with new cultures, religions and traditions.
Why should you travel with me?
In addition to visiting the popular sites, I will also take you to visit the real Israel, where you will get to know people of different ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds. You will gain a much better picture of the complexities and challenges Israel faces now and in the future.
In order to simplify numerous topics and help you absorb all the information, I guide in an interactive way, with lots of creative games, stories, quizzes, flowcharts, timelines, thought-provoking questions, debates on a variety of dilemmas, songs and pictures.
How do we start planning our vacation?
The easiest way would be to send me an email at ocytto@gmail.com with the following details:
1. Dates of your trip
2. Number of people and their age range
3. Type of visit: Pilgrimage, family trip, business, etc.
4. Fields of interest: History, religion, politics, sustainability, etc.
5. Budget and type of accommodation desired
6. Special requests
Or you could just give me a call at
We could then chat a little to get to know each other, which will allow me to plan the perfect vacation for you
So.... What are you waiting for?
WHAT PEOPLE SAY...

Oren is a talented guide and a wonderful person. My time with him exceeded all expectations. His depth of knowledge is tremendous.
His intimacy with the history and his own personal stories added another dimension to an already rich experience

Oren just guided our group through the Holy Land. His knowledge of the beautiful country of Israel was unbelievable! Almost no question, no matter how off topic, could he not answer. You will not meet a nicer, kinder soul either. I give him my highest recommendation!!!
Oren is an amazing tour guide!!!! He is so sweet and knowledgeable and listens carefully to your "wish list" so you accomplish all you are hoping to see in the time you have. In our two half days we loved seeing Temple Mount, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Jewish Quarter and Sephardic Synagogue, Ein Karem and Yad Vashem. He also was a great driver getting us to the airport right on time! Next time we are in Israel we are going to tour with him the whole time.
