About Isaac Karasenti

Greetings, I am Isaac Karasenti, a Tour -Guide, Bible expert, and authority in Christianity. Born and raised in Haifa, Israel, in December 1968, I am a devoted family man, blessed with a marriage and three children.

My credentials include a Tour-Guide license from Haifa University and specialized expertise acquired at the esteemed Yad Yitzchak Ben-Tzvi Academy in Jerusalem, focusing on the Bible and Christianity.

Driven by an insatiable passion for delving into the depths of the Bible, I have made it my mission to continually enhance my understanding to better serve my clients. For me, the Bible is not merely a book; it is my compass, guiding every facet of my life—from my thoughts and dreams to my daily sustenance.

Thirty years ago, recognizing the transformative power of the Bible, I made a conscious decision to embark on a journey as a Tour Guide, Bible expert, and authority in Christianity. My purpose is to share my profound knowledge and unwavering passion for the Bible and its sacred sites with others.

With three decades of experience, I have had the privilege of guiding not only in Israel but also across diverse locations, including Egypt, Sinai, Jordan, Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, Malta, and Italy. Each destination has added to the richness of my expertise, allowing me to offer a comprehensive and captivating experience to those who seek a deeper understanding of the Bible and its historical context.

Teresa Stauring@TripAdvisor review: 8 Days Footsteps of Christ Holy Land Tour to Israel
Read More
This was an absolutely amazing, trip-of-a-lifetime tour. Every day had a very full itinerary, but the pace was nonetheless manageable. It was incredible to experience first-hand the places I had read about in the Bible all my life, and to mentally picture the events unfolding right there. Some parts were deeply moving and personal. To stand where Jesus was beaten and condemned, and to walk up the road to the cross; I have no words. What really made the trip for us, was Isaac our guide. He was outstanding. His knowledge and understanding of both the Word of God, and the history and geography of its setting, were peerless. We are so grateful to and for him. He and our driver took exceptional care of us all, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout our trip. In our opinion, the trip could not have been better, and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

This was a wonderful experience. I appreciated that we were taken to various places in chronological order from the Annunciation and Visitation through Jesus' birth, life and ministry, to the upper room, his arrest, death and resurrection and the road to Emmaus. This is a nice, ordered way to perceive and take in what we are seeing. I also greatly appreciated that Isaac, our guide, told us of places relating to the Law and the Prophets. Isaac's memory, expertise and ability to communicate is one of the strongest advantages that every pilgrim or visitor can have, in my opinion. Thank you so much for this opportunity! With gratitude for a special pilgrimage,

Hello Isaac! Greetings from Pella, Iowa! I've been thinking about you a lot lately! I'm teaching from the book of Amos every Tuesday morning and everyone has their maps in front of them and "more or less" I am taking them on a tour every week of Israel through the reading of Scripture! I'm not near the teacher you are. Certainly I am not as good looking and I don't even come close in the good joke department. So, all I am left to say is, "you inspire me!" Just wanted to reach out and say HI! You are always an inspiration when I think of you!

Dear Isaac, I know how much you hate emails but one more.....I had to.... because I want you to know what a wonderful tour you planned for us and how much I enjoyed every moment. Thank you for everything- your superb guidance and the absolute perfect execution of all the many, many bookings and little details. Your energy, enthusiasm and love of Israel was infectious and I am still thinking over much of what I learned in those 10 days. Lehitraot and looking forward to touring with you again in the not too distant future ( and I know I speak for Norman as well). Lots of love, Sharron
