Thank you Daniel for a fun and very informative tour of Caesarea! Love your energy, love for this country, and your many hats. Hats off to you. ❤️
In addition to Caesarea, which was great, Daniel took us on his VIP Culinary tour of Haifa which was fantastic. He introduced us to cafe and shop owners who treated us to their specialties which we enjoyed immensely. Daniel has a special talent for making his tours entertaining and educational. He’s the best. He picked us up at the Haifa cruise terminal when our ship arrived and delivered us to our hotel at the end of the day. In addition he was very helpful by making arrangements for us for touring Jordan including hotels and transportation.
I inquired about a tour, I believe the evening before or morning of when I found myself and my 9yo daughter free. The owner happen to be available and kind enough to help me and my lack of pre planing as this was a last minute trip. I received a quick response and great advice on best place to tour. I was keen on touring Caesarea and Daniel was very accommodating for both myself and my daughter. He obviously has experience touring with families and with children. My daughter liked Daniel the second we met. Super informative information about the area driving to Caesarea. Daniel was able to balance information simple enough for my daughter to understand while also providing me more extensive information about the area. He was entertaining for her, keeping her constant interest in all the history around us. Which is great because sometimes with museums and tours my daughter, who has ADHD, likes to jump quickly through everything quickly. Daniel was able to slow the pace so I had time to read and absorb more information than I would without a tour guide. I have lived and traveled the planet, traveling with and without tour guides and Daniel is one of our favorites, especially for families and groups with a range of ages and abilities. .
