If you are looking for a private guide through Israel, it starts and ends with Danny. He made our sons Bar Mitzvah journey the most memorable event of his life. Danny’s depth of knowledge is unmatched. His carefree attitude and flexibility made the experience that much better and he kept the kids entertained and engaged throughout the entire journey. Can’t wait to share this experience with everyone we know looking for the same memories we made. Thank you Danny!

Bengy T,. USA

Let me say to you and you may use this as a sincere testimonial: You Danny the Digger are an outstanding guide, educator, archeologist and political pundit providing exciting and most intelligent information to the visitor on events of the past, their impact on the Jewish world and our concerns with the future. I have been to Israel 100+ times but notwithstanding, one always learns particularly from people like you.

Tom H., CJA Chairman, Canada

I recommend his services wholeheartedly for the synagogue group I will be leading this coming October/November. While his certification is currently specific to archaeology, my experience is that he will be fully able to handle the range of explanations that our group will need, in order to have a meaningful tour.

Rabbi Michael P., USA

We have really enjoyed our time with you.. I learned so much from your explanations… I really think I will remember this trip forever. Todah Rabbah!

Dorit Sh., USA

I wanted to thank you for making our first trip to Israel such a spectacular one… You were the perfect guide... You really made the Bible come to life…
