About Hoshen Tours

Your Israel tour operator & personal guides

Hoshen Tours, established by two highly experienced and licensed Israeli tour guides, is a full-service tour operator providing tourism and travel services across Israel. We specialize in pilgrimage tours in the Holy Land, private tours, and group travel – all carefully tailored to our customers’ needs, goals, and areas of interest.

From custom itinerary planning and hotel bookings to hands-on touring, we manage every detail of your Israel experience.

Great customer experience and full satisfaction are our main priorities. As both your tour operator and personal guides, we plan everything to the smallest detail – from hotel reservations and transportation to daily itineraries – to make sure you enjoy your stay from the moment of your arrival in Israel until your departure.

Based in Jerusalem, Shuki and Ana have been welcoming travelers since 2015 – families, church groups, pilgrims, and corporate teams from companies such as Intel, Google, and IBM. Every one of them received the same thing: a journey shaped around them, and people who stay with them all the way through.

The meaning behind the name

“Hoshen”

The Hebrew word “Hoshen” refers to the “breastplate of judgment” worn by the High Priest of the Israelites, which featured 12 gems representing the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

This reference and the word itself connect our background as the descendants of a priesthood family and our field of expertise – planning and guiding pilgrimage tours and private trips across Israel.

Our guides and team

After working with thousands of private travelers and groups across Israel, we can confidently say that one of the main aspects of a successful tour is a positive dynamic between the tour guide, the driver, and the customers.

Therefore, in addition to our tour guides’ high level of expertise in Israeli history, culture, and archaeology, we put a particular emphasis on the overall quality of human capital in our company.

Our hotels and accommodation

Another vital aspect of a successful trip is accommodation. When selecting our suppliers, choosing a suitable hotel is particularly important, and we make sure that after a day full of activities, the customer would be able to rest well in a hotel that provides excellent service, beautiful rooms, and rich cuisine.

To offer a wide range of options to our guests, we have personally checked all hotels with which we work.
