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
