Levi led me on a tour that gave both perspectives -- Israel and Palestine. He took me to the tour spots: Old Jericho, the Temptation Stone of Christ, the baptismal river spot of Christ and the Greek Monasteries. He introduced me to the locals for a very real (authentic) Mediterranean lunch with the locals rather than the tourists. His knowledge of the area and the cultures was extensive. He confirmed our meeting time and dress requirements the night before. A safe driver who enjoys sharing the Biblical lands with others.
