Unique look into a fascinating business. - After some initial misunderstanding about scheduling, the tour operator arranged a private tour on our schedule. The hosts were lovely - giving us a true behind the scenes look at Israel’s diamond industry. It was a special and memorable experience.

A wonderful, behind-the-scenes, hidden gem - I found out about this gem when I was looking for a.bonus activity to our stay in Tel Aviv, and I'm so glad we discovered it!
We went with our whole family (my wife, four children ages 11-18) and my mother, and everyone had a great time!
When planning trip activities, it can sometimes be a challenge to find things that everyone's interested in. And as a dad, I try to expose the kids to as many informative experiences as possible. This hit on all counts. The kids loved the experience of getting to hold diamonds w several thousands of dollars. We loved watching the diamond cutters practicing the craft, exercising precision to a degree that's it's hard to fathom achieving by hand.
And our hosts, Hanan and Sigal were so knowledgeable, warm, and charming, and Michael made the planning so seamless, and was extremely accommodating.
My main goal of the trip is to expose my kids to many of Israel's different facets and this was definitely a hidden gem that I'm so glad we got the opportunity to do.
Can't recommend highly enough

Unique Private Diamond Experience - An extraordinary, unique diamond experience! We met Hanan & Sigal in the lobby and after clearing security our education began: the history of diamonds and the rules of the exchange, observing and learning about the trading floor, seeing how the computer measures and displays all facets of each diamond and finally, watching the cutting and polishing.
We were then invited to their private store where I felt no pressure to purchase anything...but everything was incredibly creative, gorgeous and WHOLESALE! I bought a beautiful ring and the lighted ring box beautifully completed the presentation.
This is one of those one of a kind experiences. I highly recommend it.

Thoroughly wonderful - This tour of the Diamond Exchange has been the highlight of the trip. It has also been one of the best guided tours experiences we have had in several visits. I would even say, one of the best guided tour experiences among our many chosen activities, during visits in recent years to cities across Europe.
You can expect to be guided by wonderful people who take care of you even as they take you on the tour, to hear thorough explanations from experts who know and live every aspect of the business, and to finish the tour wishing it would not end.

An unusual and fantastic experience - Absolutely fantastic experience! Going behind the scenes to see the trading floor and diamond cutters, and the vast complex itself was so much more amazing than I had expected. So much great information, a peek into the otherwise very contained world of diamond cutting and polishing.
Michael, Hanan and Sigal are wonderful people and their jewellery shop is filled with unique and gorgeous pieces - I was in a state of awe.
Thank you for a such a wonderful time. 💛

Must do in Tel Aviv! - We decided to take the tour of The Diamond Exchange last minute and hired Michael Werner. We couldn’t be happier with that decision. What an amazing and interesting experience! He introduced us to Hanan Savranski who was such a great and knowledgeable tour guide. He and his wife, Sigal, have a jewelry store in the building which we visited. They were very welcoming and friendly. We felt a connection with them immediately. They have the most unique and exquisite diamonds and jewelry ever. It would have been very hard to resist not to purchase, however, there was no pressure at all. It was overall a lovely experience and we would love to do it again once back in Tel Aviv.
Thank you Hanan and Sigal!

Excellent experience - The team was super-professional and made me feel most welcome. I had no idea just how much hard work and skill went into crafting a beautiful gemstone. Hanan's designs are wonderful and innovative, with pieces where one item can take on two appearances via invisible mechanisms. I was not in the market for any jewellry, but if I was, I wouldn't hesitiate to buy a Savransky piece - and likely save a lot of money compared to going to a jeweller a number of steps along the transaction process (source to store via distributors).

Great insight into the World of Diamonds - We took a dive into the fascinating world of diamonds. Thanks to Hanan and Sigal we were able to get into the inner circle of the Bourse, we got a glimpse of „the floor“ and Hanan explained everything about the buying and selling of this trade; later we saw how and where the magic of the actual cutting of the stones happen. All the time we felt like total VIPs since it was just us in the tour. You later get the opportunity to purchase a piece of art in Hanan‘s jewellery store but there is no pressure whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this tour and will do it again with guests once they can visit Israel again.

Strong start, weak finish - We really enjoyed the guide and the opportunity to see the trading floor. We also enjoyed the coffee and truffles. However we were very disappointed when the tour ended when we didn’t purchase a $5,000 piece of jewelry from the guide, and we were never given the opportunity to learn to use a loupe, other tools, or received our souvenir diamond dust. For transportation, we weren’t expecting to be in a taxi, which was fine, but confusing based the description of an air conditioned vehicle.
