Kfir Shwarz
My name is Kfir and I established Ahalan Olympus in 2004. The ensuing years have been full of joy and made me feel very fortunate to be participating in this kind of work – if one can even call it that.
It’s a genuine privilege to show people from all over the world how lovely, safe and welcoming our region is.
I like hiking & cycling
Daniela Fass
I joined the Ahalan Olympus team in 2015 and am responsible for designing the programs for the guests who have contacted us via our website, taking into consideration their needs and wishes, thus offering them “tailor-made tours”.
In addition, I meet with our guests during their stay and ensure that their needs are being met to their satisfaction.

Gale Mashiach
I am a registered tour guide with the Israeli Ministry of Tourism, a leader and public presenter that has been escorting Christian Pilgrimages and International tour groups throughout the Holy Land since 2008. I am Fluent in English and Hebrew. I was educated in England, exposed to both the Christian and Jewish faiths, and am well acquainted with the history of modern and biblical Israel. Numerous clergy participating in pilgrimage tours guided by myself have been praiseworthy of the broad extent of my knowledge and understanding of the Old and New Testaments and how it relates to the Holy Land.
I use my exceptional people skills to care for travelers of all ages, denominations, and backgrounds. When I am on tour in Israel my groups are left with memories to last a lifetime. I am a Messianic Jew and have an understanding of both the Christian and Jewish faith; a passion for the history, archeology, and spirituality of Israel, and bringing the Bible to life.
I have traveled widely, including Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the USA, Papua New Guinea, Europe, and China to showcase Israel to share my first-hand knowledge of my amazing homeland, with an emphasis on the spiritual value of a personal pilgrimage to the places where Jesus walked.
I am married with 5 sons, (and 4 grandchildren). I have lived in Israel since 1979. I am also a floral designer, and convention organizer and run my own jeep tours in the Negev desert. I am skilled in cross-cultural relations, and media and possess the ability to craft my tours to meet the specific needs of the Pilgrims and special interest groups, such as the International Police Association, Parliamentary Delegations, and ANZAC Trail Tours. (Light Horse Charge).
Benayah Blum
I am Benayah Blum, a tour guide from toe to hair. I grew up in a religious Jewish family with Christian relatives, lived in quite a lot of places, learning 5 languages, and encountering a variety of cultures and religions. I like traveling and exploring since I learned to walk… Back in 2006 Kfir "called me to duty", asking me to become a partner at "Ahalan Olympus". I said "yes" and we had seven great years together, creating a unique company that brings people and cultures together. Then the "vagabond virus" overcame me, and I changed the "Big Boss" office environment to return to my old love: Tour Guide. Still, it is hard for me to say "no" when someone from the Ahalan Olympus office calls…
My slogan is: "There, and beyond…"
Shalom,
