Who am I?
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness..." (Mark Twain)

Hi everybody! delighted to meet you - my name is Dan.
After ten years of guiding organized tours abroad, I fulfilled another dream and started guiding in Israel as an official guide, certified by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism.
My passion lies in bridging cultural differences and bringing people closer together, and I see tourism and travel as the ultimate means to this end. Just as I have put this passion into practice with Israeli travelers in distant corners of the globe, I do the same here in Israel with visitors from other countries; English, French, Spanish and Portuguese spoken.
I grew up in Israel, and also spent several years in other countries, including England, Spain and the US, and traveled extensively throughout Latin America, Europe and Asia. I am familiar with cultural gaps, but also with ways to overcome these gaps, and enjoy cultural diversity.
I lived a good part of my life in and around Tel Aviv - Israel's vibrant major metropolis; I am continuously fascinated with the history and culture of Jerusalem; and I finally found a home in the Negev - the Israeli desert, right next to Makhtesh Ramon (crater) - a unique geological phenomenon, and one of the most beautiful and inspiring landscapes in Israel. So I am also passionate about balancing and bridging between the city and nature, and specialize in a variety of tours and regions.
Whether you are a first-time visitor wishing to get a glimpse of the entire country, or prefer to focus on one region; whether you are on a family or business trip; interested in religion, culture, nature or just fun - I would love to assist, plan and guide you throughout your visit.
I have years of experience in custom-made trips and packages. You are welcome to contact me, and together we will create an unforgettable experience for you here in Israel.
