Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovitch built the Russian Compound in the late 1800′s for the pilgrims who were swarming to Jerusalem. Then the revolutionaries got him.
Over some weeks Aviva, Shmuel, my nephew and I planned a wonderful itinerary which catered for all of our needs and 'must see' attractions in Israel. We were met and were subsequently treated as friends, and Aviva and Shmuel were convivial company and knowledgable and professional guides whilst always catering for the personal. A lifetime of memories in 10 days, our thanks to them both!!
