Daniel Gershon

I was born and raised in Israel and live near Jerusalem with my wife and our three children. I hold degrees in Art and in Israel & Middle Eastern Studies.
Since becoming a licensed tour guide in 2018, I have specialized in Christian heritage tours. Before that, I spent many years as a journalist for several Israeli television networks, developing a passion for storytelling and connecting people with history.
I love exploring Israel's incredible diversity—from the Negev Desert in the south to the green hills of the Galilee, and especially Jerusalem, a city with more than 5,000 years of history.
It would be my pleasure to guide you through the Holy Land and help you discover the beauty of Biblical Israel alongside the vibrant, modern State of Israel. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing an unforgettable journey together.
