10/10 would recommend Dr. David

Published on Jun, 2025

10/10 would recommend the tour with Dr. David. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, informative, and you can tell he loves what he’s doing. Rarely does one get to have a Fulbright scholar who attended Harvard and has a PhD in archeology with a focus on the city you’re touring show you around.

The ideal tour guide

Published on Jun, 2025

David is the ideal tour guide - a down-to-earth kind of guy equipped with a PhD focused on the archaeology and history of Israel. He knew how much to say, when to ask questions, got into captivating discussions, and was able to add fascinating 'footnotes' that only someone of his caliber could. A real delight.

Loved it and learned so much!

Published on May, 2025

My partner and I secured David for a private two day excursion that he detailed for us after we chose our top site seeing points in Jerusalem. He met us first day at our hotel and we had breakfast getting to know a little bit about him before we began the tour. It was very thorough, and David has a lot of passion about all the topics he presents. The second day, he took us to see Yad Va'Shem, the Israel Museaum, and we walked across town. Hands down, his deep knowledge and ability to present it in an interesting manner puts him above and beyond other tour guides we've had in the past.

Best tour EVER!

Published on Apr, 2025

Our tour guide, David, was simply fantastic. He is extremely knowledgeable and quite passionate about Israel’s history. He answered all our questions with patience and added interesting anecdotes that brought the tour to life. David’s background in archeology added another rich layer to our tour. A TRULY memorable experience!

Expert deep dive into Jerusalem!

Published on Sep, 2023

We spent two action packed days with David / Israel In Color in Jerusalem. The first was spent in the old city, exploring ruins, all the quarters, the temple, and learning about all the civilizations come on gone. The second day was focused on new jerusalem at yad vashem + israel museum. They were both excellent. I'd visited those places before but it was my dad's first time to Jerusalem and he was blown away. And for me it was the best trip to Jerusalem I've done. David's way of teaching connects all the dots for a grander picture of the history of the city. David's passion for the history of Israel runs deep, and his knowledge, being an archaeologist, is profound. Having him lead the way was great, we got to dive deep into all kinds of history and have fun doing it. Afterward, we were reflecting that our only regret was that the tour wasn't several days longer. Strong recommend!
