Israeli Guides: Danny the Digger I am often asked for a recommendation for an Israeli guide. The inquirer is looking for something “more” than what they will get with the luck of the draw from the travel agency. The internet makes it easier to get to know some guides before you commit to them, and I thought I might do a brief series this year on guides who are “a cut above.” Danny Herman is best known as “Danny the Digger.” While he is a licensed tour guide, he is also a trained archaeologist, having received his MA in Archaeology
Nathalie Shalom, .. Danny has taught a number of courses for my Dept. in recent years, including “Uncovering Jerusalem: A Historical and Archaeological Survey,” as well as “Archaeology of the New Testament.” In addition, he guides our visitors from partnering institutions, as well as academic tours for a multitude of our special/faculty-led programs that attend throughout the academic calendar. Unanimously, the feedback I receive regarding Danny Herman’s performance is spectacular. Be it a full course, a guest lecture, a single academic tour, or a guided tour for visitors, Danny succeeds in delivering an outstanding, informative, multi-faceted experience to the participants.
