Tisha is the best of the best! Every time we have toured with her she has proved to be a wealth of knowledge and insight, a pure joy to be with, an excellent communicator, and a professional every aspect of the overall experience. I couldn’t encourage you more to experience Israel with Tisha. She puts her whole heart into it and it clearly shows. AND, she’s amazing!

Together For Israel

Tisha has guided over 30 tours for me over the last 15 years. Actually, I refuse to lead a tour unless she is available. Not only is she an amazing and knowledgeable guide, but she is also a caring person who makes every group of mine feel that they are favorite group ever. Tisha’s historical and biblical knowledge, coupled with her sincere desire to make your trip to Israel an experience that you’ll cherish forever, is the reason she is one of the most sought after guides in Israel.

I was blessed to be able to go to Israel in October, 2018. Little did I know that God would put me under the wing of Tisha Michelle, as I went with a group from Christ Revealed documentary. Tisha has to be the most educated, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide of all! She knows the Bible inside and out and Israel from north to south! That’s a GREAT combination to have in someone wanting to share the history of our Christian faith! If I ever get back, I know who will be showing me around again!
