Meet your guide, Yoav

Yoav Uziel is a licensed tour guide from Rosh Pina, and he's also the one who drives. Along the way he connects what you see out of the window with the story behind it: history and archaeology, plants and wildlife, Israel's wars, ancient synagogues, the tombs of Jewish sages and Christian sites.
