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.

Overview of your Jerusalem tour
My name is Dan and I am a Saba (Hebrew for Grandpa). My 4 grandaughters say I'm way cool (sababa is a slang word for cool round here). Because I am a former teacher I have designed a walking tour of the Old City of Jerusalem aimed at small curious people who enjoy water pistols. Kids spend plenty of time looking up. Let's enjoy the novelty of looking down! From Jaffa Gate we will take the Ramparts Walk along the top of the magnificent walls. Big steps to get to the top of this historic climbing frame, but it's safe and seriously cool. This exploration offers a fun challenge, great views, 3-D models, fab multimedia illustrating some of Jerusalem's awesome history (showing rather than telling the story). We will write letters to God to leave in one of the cracks of the world's most famous wishing wall. This adventure will be fascinating for the parents too, but make no mistake, this is aimed at delighting your kids. For loads of theology, geography, history, mythology etc come on one of my other tours!
