Review of: Dig for a Day Archaeological Seminar
Due to a medical emergency, on March 21 I had to cancel an April 1 Dig For A Day booking for my wife and me. Here's the email response I got on April 12. It's the only communication I've received despite several follow-ups. "Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. We have changed computer systems and I am working in the office alone so some things, unfortunately, have been taking time. I have been discussing this with our IT department as well as our financial department, trying to work out how to get you the refund. The new system can’t refund from the old system so we have to find another way."…

Review of: Dig for a Day Archaeological Seminar
Incredible experience. This tour was set up through our tour company as part of an overall trip to Israel and I really did not know what to expect. Frankly I doubted we would find anything but it would just be a fun experience. Boy was I wrong.issy was the most incredible guide you could ever have. she was fun but also explained in detail and in ways that you can understand exactly what was going on. We climb down into a cave which is an active digging site and We're given a pick and a shovel to collect Dirt and rocks from an area.. We're not only found shards of pottery and bones but also found and almost complete bowl. She then took us on a tour of the excavated portion of the site and it was just a fantastic experience. It gives you better understanding of what an archeologist does but it's also a lot of fun and a memorable experience. If you have time while you are in Israel do not miss this.…

Best experience! Loved digging and going in the caves. David was a super tour guide and my family had an awesome time. We didn't want to stop digging and looking for artifacts!

Review of: Dig for a Day Archaeological Seminar
I was digging for one day with my son. Everything was really wonderful. It is amazing that we could dig "for real" and we found 2000-years old pottery and bones. The organizers really know their stuff and the atmosphere is wonderful. Thank you for a great, memorable day!

Review of: Dig for a Day Archaeological Seminar
I don't usually write reviews during traveling, but for this I am making an exception. If you're into archaeology, history, stories of the past brought to life today, it's really special. If you're not into any of those thing but are looking for a truly fun and inspiring experience, Dig for a Day is something you really should do. I think it a must. I learned of it from an old friend, David who introduced me to the people I was to work with. The guides spoke easily in Hebrew and English, knew the history of the area. Our group was only of 3, which made it even better. The digging process is explained, tools provided. We dug in one cave--I found pottery shards from about 2200 years ago, buried a foot or so down in the dirt. A bit later, a tour through a series of caves with explanations of what we were going through, touching. It's was fascinating. There is much more. Check it out.…
