Real Stories, Authentic Experiences

    You were the absolute highlight of so many cadets' and midshipmen's trips to Israel! No one ever got the rankings you did in the post-trip analysis. You introduced dozens of cadets and midshipmen from America's military academies to Israel; for them, you were the voice of Israel and the voice of an Israeli soldier - and their friend. These young officers will carry a positive Israel experience throughout their service careers thanks in great measure to you.

    My husband and I toured with Jon for 2 weeks in Israel this past May. We met him in Tiberias and he continued traveling with us through Jerusalem, the Negev and Tel Aviv. He has an amazing depth of knowledge and an unbelievably engaging and clear eyed manner. His love of Israel comes through in every aspect of his tours. I learned more about ancient history than I thought possible and I left with a new and deeper appreciation of Israel, it’s people, the challenges it faces and the amazing successes it has achieved. My husband has a particular interest in Israeli military history. Jon was incredibly knowledgeable about all aspect of military service, strategy, weaponry, etc. In addition, I felt he understood and was able to articulate the balancing act the Israeli military must contend with every day. In addition, Jon was so flexible and more than happy to make changes in the prepared schedule to accommodate our interests and to include different sites when he thought they would suit us better than things that were pre-planned. He was incredibly generous with his time. I’d tour again with him in a heartbeat!!!

    Thank you for the depth of everything you have given us these past few days. Our time together was much to 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.

    Yoni, you need to know that your commentary during our tour was the most memorable and valuable part of the trip. Seeing Israel for the first time was a true eye opener. Goes to show you what can come of high purpose, courage and strong leadership.

    In July of 2010 I came to Israel with my 15 year old grandson. Being my first visit I knew that I needed a knowledgeable guide of the country's sights but more important the history. Yoni made our visit most enjoyable and guided us to places that would not only satisfy me but tailored to my grandson. I can't wait until return with my wife and other grandchildren, Jonathan will definitely be my guide.

    Jon's depth of knowledge and love of Israel was evident throughout our trip—from culture, religion to politics. He was able to explain complex information in a way we could all understand—and welcomed lots of questions…which I had many! Our kids still talk about what they learned from Jonathan. They loved him.

    Jonathan Cutler is a premier tour guide and friend (and yes, he'll be your friend after a few days in israel, not just your tour guide). I've traveled with groups of students to Israel on three occasions during the past five years and have booked Yoni every time because he speaks our language--not just English, mind you, but he also walks the walk and the talks the talk of cadets from the Air Force Academy. He meshes with them from day one, while at the same time providing an educational and action-packed agenda. Each year as we have returned home to Colorado, cadets have written in their trip reports about the "best experience of their lives," made that way due to Yoni's dedication and attention to detail, getting everything right for his guests. Jonathan is a scholar and a gentleman, and he'll make your time in Israel the best experience of YOUR life!

    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 tailors 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 Jonathan/Yoni. 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 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.
