Our guided tours aim to explore unique aspects of the greater Beer Sheva area with a focus on the city’s history, culture, architecture and nature among others. Beer Sheva’s history spans approximately 6000 years beginning with the Chalcolithic who lived near the wadi with its unique culture, followed by our father Abraham who brought monotheism to the world, to the Byzantine city, and then the Turks who built the old city (the old city being only city the Turks built in their 400 year rule of the region which ended during WWI), and finally the modern day city. Over the past 20 years, Beer Sheva experienced numerous transformations, establishing it as the modern metropolis of the Negev in terms of urban development and preservation of its historical sites.
We invite you to come, learn and experience Beer Sheva with us through our guided tours.
The "Authentic Walks – Guided Tours in Beer Sheva" project was founded four years ago by childhood friends and native born Beer Shevians, Ari Burstin and Natan Ben-Ari who live, believe and love Beer Sheva. To date, well over 30 different guided tours with over 2000 participants have taken place in the greater Beer Sheva area.
Becoming acquainted with a city as accomplished through a wide range of tours fits well with an existing vision of developing a strong connection between the city and its inhabitants, or as widely referred to, as developing a sense of place. More specifically, our walking, running and cycling tours are uniquely designed as a means to experience the city, its surroundings and the community firsthand.
We offer walking tours, bike tours (designed for groups of up to 10 participants). , and car tours. Our tour guides are largely Beer Sheva locals and subject-matter experts with a passion for the city and for sharing of its hidden treasures with others. Our tours target a wide audience and may be further customized to meet special requests and/or needs.
