Tourist Guide of the Day - Jerusalem Tour Guide Dina

Who is this tour guide?
Dina Horn, a tour guide in Jerusalem, Israel.

What does this tour guide do?

Shalom!

My name is Dina Horn, For many years I have been dedicated to guide and assist travelers in Israel. During my time as a tour guide I have had the privilege to travel and share experiences with many wonderful people throughout this exciting country.

As you enjoy your comprehensive tour and observing the views, remember the wonder that is the State of Israel, established in 1948 has transformed in just 60 years from being a arid and neglected place to one of the most fruitful and progressive western societies in the world.

Traveling in Israel is different than a trip anywhere else in the world. In your journey to Israel you’ll discover the connection between seemed sites and ancient written history or biblical stories. As home to the most developed archeology branch, you will have complete access to the revival of events from the Bible at many of the active excavation sites all over the country.

Having the sun all year, you may choose to enjoy beaches in Israel in four bodies of water: Dead Sea, Mediterranean, Sea of Galilee, and the Red Sea.

Traveling with me will expose you to the friendly and fun atmosphere. Joining my tours means beside the knowledgeable dip explanations, to reveal the humanity and great hospitality of the people in Israel or in Tel Aviv.

Israel is a mosaic of many cultural and ethnic groups. As a part of cultural experience we will meet with a few of those such as Kibutz members, Druze family and more.

There is no doubt, that choosing the correct guide is crucial in every tour. I invite you to come and explore the Holy Land...feel its history...see its varied ethnic communities...taste their rich flavors...float on the water of the dead sea...enjoy its natural wonders and... Take part in all the attractions that Israel offers.

I promise to show you the magic of this exotic land not only fulfill your expectations as a tourist, but to link your heart, mind and soul to the land of Israel.

With me you have the option to choose exceptional customized private tours of the Land of Israel with your own expert tour guide.

I believe that you should have a guide who doesn’t limit to provide you with the general details of the places you visit, but that also enhances your personal experience as well as your own perspective of this land.

Client Testimonals - OurExplorer Tourist Guides

It's always great to hear feedback from clients. And even greater is when testimonials are received. Just to share some here. Thanks for your feedback and we are listening...

"This was our first vacation out of the U.S. and we were a little nervous about leaving the tour group and going out on our own (also, a little nervous about hiring someone off the internet). We were able to see about five or six additional sites that the group didn’t see, including the Luxor Museum and the Tombs of the Nobles which were two of my favorite places. The price to hire him was about the same as the rate to go with the group (with the exception of all the extra tickets for the additional sites) so it was really a bargain. Thanks for helping with our trip and a lifetime of great memories!"--Gerald Cook, USA.

Tourist Guide of the Day - Marta Veciana

Who is this guide?
Marta Veciana, a tourist guide in Barcelona of Spain.

What does this guide do?
I am born in Barcelona, and I have been always in love with my city. I had great teachers in high school that transferred to me their passion for our history and architecture, and they encouraged me to never stop reading and learning about Barcelona.

After university I spent one year traveling, and when I came back I got a job as part of the Information staff of the Sagrada Familia, the unfinished Gaudi church and the most visited monument in Barcelona. As well as helping the visitors, my responsibilities included giving private tours to personalities, press and special guests. I worked there for almost three years, enjoying the company of employees who had spent a large part of their lives in such an amazing building, and appreciating the advice and explanations of the architects that are continuing the works. Having the chance of discovering the amazing Gaudi world from its insides has been one of the best experiences in my life.

After I passed the official exam to be able to work as a tour guide in the city, I started working as a fulltime freelance tourguide and I created my own company FOREVERBARCELONA.

I'm in love with my city, and I'm passionate about my job. I do enjoy being an ambassador of Barcelona for our visitors, and I feel really happy when I see my guests falling in love with our city.

为什么请导游

前天遇见Kai，中年，德国人，谈起他的上海导游Flora，很是称赞，说英语流利，对上海又十分了解。使他的第一次中国行非常愉快。以前也到处出差和旅行，却从没请过一个导游，未料这次收获颇丰。

我们为什么花钱请导游？WFTGA(World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations) 的 Checklist for Professional Tourist Guides总结的挺好。

TO LEARN 为了获得更多知识
TO BE INTRODUCED 对第一次到的地方能有所认识
TO BE TIME EFFICIENT 在短暂的停留时间里获益更多
TO BENEFIT FROM EXPERTISE 专业，还是专业
TO ENJOY BEING TAKEN CARE OF 省心省力
TO AVOID BEING LOST 不会在陌生的地方迷路
TO MEET OTHER PEOPLE 与生活在当地的人交流
TO DO WHAT OTHERS DO 体验当地人怎么生活
BECAUSE GUIDED TOURS ARE INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE 度假产品或会议活动中包含导游服务

还有什么别的理由么？在什么情况下，你会想请个当地导游陪同？

Our Explorer - Get Your Hands On Some Local Wisdom

January 13 2009, 7:52am, Kim Heras

OurExplorer is a new-ish travel site, based in Australia, that aims to make it easier for people to connect with local tour guides when traveling. It’s a different approach to the many other sites that aggregate user-generated content to provide traveler’s tips, but if you’ve ever been hounded by people claiming to be tour guides while traveling abroad then you’ll understand why a site that makes finding trusted local tour guides easy is so valuable.

I managed to catch up with founder David Cunningham to have a chat about how the site’s been going since it launched 6 months ago and what his future plans are. Enjoy.
