"..This visit is where I discovered Raphael’s seemingly bottomless knowledge of middle eastern history, religion, and philosophy. As a protestant Christian, I appreciated Raphael’s understanding of my religious point-of-view and willingness to discuss religion and history from the perspective of all the incredible peoples and cultures that make up the Middle East..
He is super smart, well educated, and just a great all around guy."

He knows how to pass his knowledge by an innate sense of pedagogy, which makes his interventions extremely rich and pleasant Raphaël is an excellent guide, and he has great human qualities. We were very fortunate to have him as our guide, and I can only recommend him. "

"specialized in archaeology and history, in particular that of Israel. His speech is very fluent, very easy to follow. The Bible has no secrets for him. He is not stingy with explanations, which are always clear. What is also remarkable is that he shows great objectivity, which is not always easy to evoke Israel. He is perfect in terms of organization and time management. Very cheerful, always available, he quickly became unanimous within the group. In short, an excellent guide. "
Michel Bichard
" Each visit was carefully chosen by our extremely friendly and kind guide. I recommend Raphael who shared his cultural, historical and geopolitical knowledge with us. Very competent. Without his presence, our trip would not have been as moving and lively. Raphael is the essential guide for the realization of such a beautiful trip

"Our guide Raphael was able to summarize the ancient history of the country, but also the recent history of this hot region of the world. He succeeded in making us appreciate both Israel and the Palestinians, exposing the difficulties of living together without judgment... After my return, I asked Raphael a geographic question and his response was quick and clear. Thank you, Raphael, for your cultivated support as it is full of humor. "
Chantal Gaudin
"A big thank you Raphael for your support during this week of immersion in this country where everything is in doubt and questioning you helped me find solutions in my Christian life.

"Raphaël was an outstanding guide. He was very helpful and had an incredible culture. He speaks impeccable French and so we bombarded him with questions about daily life in Israel, about religions, the army, the Negev desert, the Dead Sea, the different borders of the country, geopolitics, history. etc ... And I must say that he had answered everything clearly. Thanks to Raphaël, it was a journey of great intensity both through emotion and discovery."
