As a business owner if we have a star, we put them on our best programs and Jonathan is a star. Jonathan made the educational and historical part of the trip so interesting. He made all the sites with its history come together and connect so that a person like myself who is not up to date, can truly understand and not feel lost. Jonathan is so much fun and has a magnetic personality and caters to all ages. We could relate to him because he is an American and yet he is so passionate and loyal about Israel. He made us laugh and really was able to be one of us. I think that Jonathan made the trip!

We went to Israel in June 2005 and Yoni was our tour guide.He was absolutely amazing and we had the most educational, fun, and meaningful trip because of his leadership. He was more than a guide - he took us on a life altering journey through our past, present and future. He is a real expert on Israeli culture, history, and politics. As we hiked Masada, swam in the Dead Sea and went camel riding in the negev, Yoni did an unbelievable job of making each experience memorable and meaningfull for the whole group.It was such a wonderful and overwhelming experience and you can't go home without having changed in some way. We look foward to visiting Israel again, and having Yoni as our guide.

Dear Jon,
How can we begin to thank you for the depth of everything you have given us these past few days. Our time together was much too short. You have left us wanting to be in Israel again and again and to share this wonderful land with our students. Thank you again for your love of history and your amazing gift of storytelling.

Dear Jonathan,
For the most unique guide/soldier/scholar/comedian we have ever met! You truly made our first trip to Israel the best trip to Israel no matter how many times we will return!
Thank you!,

When people in Washington ask me for advice when visiting Israel, I immediately put them in touch with Jon Cutler. A former grad school colleague of mine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jon is knowledgable and professional. The feedback has been nothing but positive, primarily because Jon appears to tailor his tours to the needs of his clients. Jon's tours are recommended for tourists and policy specialists, alike.

We spent 12 spectacular and engaging days touring with Jonathon/Yoni. Little did we realize at the time but Jon had set a new, inspiring and incredible way to move forward in each of our live's. He was not only knowledgeable, but also patient and flexible with our itinerary. He made sure to engage our 10 year old daughter and 13 year old son at all their levels of interest and understanding, and truly made our trip extraordinary. Jon not only connected with each of us, but his passion for Israel and it's land, people, and history motivated and inspired us all to learn and embrace Israel in ways we never considered prior. Jon made such an impression on each of us that to this day we remain in close contact and consider him a genuine friend of our family.
