Shalom, I'm Daniel and I look forward to introducing you to Israel. I am a local - I live in Jerusalem, I was born in Haifa and my parents and all four grandparents lived in this country before me. But an added ingredient that may help me to help you to understand and appreciate Israel is that I have an international perspective. I have visited the USA many times as well as many other parts of the world. I have children (and now grandchildren) living in sunny California and rainy London as well as here near Tel Aviv. I was educated in London and Cambridge and I lived and taught and worked in the UK for decades. So I speak fluent British English - the King's English! Formerly a copyright lawyer, a teacher and a university lecturer in English literature - my Cambridge doctoral degree is on Gulliver's Travels - I am now delighted to have qualified as a tour guide, licensed by the Israel Ministry of Tourism. On the tour guide course we learned so many topics: lots of geography, geology, theology, archaeology, religious and secular history, scripture, current affairs, economics, and many other kinds of facts. But the facts are just the starting point. In my studies and my work with tourists I have learned that the best guides love this unique and complex country, welcome our visitors, appreciate why you have come and what you are seeking, and have insight and enthusiasm as well as knowledge to share. That's me! Having taught for many years I hope I can help you learn something about the history and the many cultures of this fascinating holy land. But even more important - I am going to make sure that your tour will be a memorable, spiritual, meaningful and fun experience. Israeli Tour Guide Licence 22,379 Cambridge University PhD and MA degrees Qualified UK Teacher I do not have the special vehicle and licence required in Israel to drive tourists. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for you to engage a duly licensed driver and car. I do not work on the Sabbath nor on Jewish holidays.

Shore Excursion to the Old City from Ashdod port
Overview of your Ashdod tour
I will meet you with the driver at the Ashdod port security gate and bring you to Jerusalem where I live. Yes, I am a local! We start at the historic Mount of Olives for a splendid view down onto the Old City. Our driver will then deliver us to Jaffa Gate for the walking section. Next we shall visit the wonderful Tower of David Jerusalem Museum; those of us not daunted by stairs will end up at the top of the Phasael Tower - an incomparable view. Next, we will make our way via the market through to the Roman cardo, and ascend to the top of the dome of the Hurva Synagogue to look both outwards over the rooftops and also inwards, offering an insight into the traditions of Jewish prayer and Torah study. At the Western Wall you can (whatever your faith) leave a letter for the Almighty (as thousands do daily). From the heart of the Jewish Quarter we'll walk to the Christian Quarter, and visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre before the driver delivers you back in air-conditioned comfort to your ship.
