Andy’s Travel Blog: Israel Trip, Dec 2012

The Incomparable Boaz Shalgi

” The reason I’m dedicating an entire post to Boaz is simple: he turned a good trip into an unforgettable trip. While the trip would have been beautiful and the experience memorable, the context he added to each site added significance and meaning to each step we took. He was equal parts storyteller, historian, tour guide, politician, and friend. If guiding tours is an art, Boaz Shalgi is your Rembrandt. While I do remember most of what he said, what left an impact on me is the emotion he constantly displayed, specifically at Masada and the Valley of Tears.” – Andy’s Travel Blog
