While on a business trip in Tel Aviv, we took one day off to visit Jerusalem and were lucky enough to get our trip organized with Danny The Digger (so called because of him being an archeologist). That was a lovely experience, not only because of his historical and artistical knowledge about the city (and lots of related anecdotes :)... More

My wife and I spent a day with Danny touring the Old City of Jerusalem and the nearby City of David. Before coming to Jerusalem we had been uncertain about the need for hiring a private guide. We had several guidebooks already; would the expense really be worthwhile? We decided to give it a try. Even before we arrived Danny... More

Danny gave me a half day tour of Jaffa & Tel Aviv and a full day of Jerusalem. Everything that we saw and the way he would explain things were so interesting and simple for me to understand. He answered all my questions and left me with no gray area. He is very knowledgeable with this city, not only the... More

This was my first time in Jerusalem and I couldn't imagine visiting without having Danny as my tour guide. From his local knowledge of the sights to his one-on-one interaction with me just made my tour something that I will never forget. He even went out of his way to make sure that I was comfortable before we started the... More

We, as an extended family hosting our 3 American cousins, one fiancé and one dear friend from Germany, took a trip to the Dead Sea including Masada and Ein Geddi and a short glance at Old Jerusalem as a bonus. Danny Herman was a superb guide. This includes his very deep knowledge and the ability to communicate it pleasantly, his... More

We spent two days with Danny, one visiting the Old City of Jerusalem and the other visiting the Dead Sea and Masada. Perhaps the highest compliment I can offer came from my 10 year old son: "Danny was amazing; I was never bored once!" We greatly appreciated Danny's academic knowledge, as well as the practical information he could provide, having... More

I was in Jerusalem for 1 day. I wanted to see several of the key sights. Due to Danny's knowledge, we were able to efficiently see everything I wanted to see and I learned a ton along the way. The combination of Danny's great personality plus his extensive archeological educational background provided the perfenct combo for a tour of Jerusalem.... More

We just spent 4 days with Danny touring a number of locations in Israel. Danny organized a wonderful tour that included a number of major historical sites as well as contemporary ones. His knowledge of the history, archeology, and background of the country is first rate and his insight added greatly to the expererience. I would recommend Danny without reservation. More

Our experience with Danny was nothing short of spectacular. He really hit all the right notes, which isn't easy for a family with boys aged 16, 13, and 8. He was knowledgeable, sweet, and had a really nice sense of humor as well. I wish we could have stayed and spent another month with him!!!!!!! More
