Danny the Digger: not cheap, but worth every penny – we learned so much!
A small group of us (5 adults) wanted a good driver-guide for a longish day exploring from Jerusalem, and Danny the Digger was recommended by a colleague.
Overall, we felt he did a wonderful job.
On the minus side, his strongly zionist views might not be to everyone’s taste and perhaps he should not expound them quite so forcefully to clients.
On the plus side, he was tireless: he drove and guided for 10 hours straight, adding in extra side trips for us and taking us on a mini hike that we had asked for at Ein Gedi nature reserve. He is a trained archeologist and was able to answer all our questions and more – he took us to see one or two sites that we would certainly have missed on our own – and gave us fascinating insights into their discovery and history.
By the end of the day i was full of admiration for his knowledge, his energy and his skills. if you want a driver guide for the day from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv (he lives halfway between the two), Danny is very good. We took in Masada, Kumran, Ein Gedi kibbutz and Ein Gedi Nature Reserve.
