Within minutes it was clear to see that Danny's education and experience, coupled with his flare for detail and story-telling, would far outdo any other tour we could have chosen.

The problem with a 1 to 10 rating system (with 10 being the best) is it doesn’t allow for ratings well over the maximum of 10. Danny was superb. his knowledge, humor, passion, and thoroughness, were incredible. He was also nice enough to wheel my wife in a wheelchair up and down many hills on Masada. I would recommend Danny the Digger to anybody.

As I mentioned, I can’t say enough nice things about him.. You will have such a great time!..
