Top Israel Sightseeing Tours in 2026

On this tour, Jaffa becomes a stage full of impossible characters: pharaohs, prophets, Greek monsters, Ottoman governors, St Peter, Napoleon, pilgrims, fishermen and people who came here looking for a new beginning. I’m Maria Lando, a licensed Israeli tour guide who has lived between 3 cultures and guides in English, Hebrew and rusty Russian. My style is warm, curious and story-driven. I connect archaeology, biblical traditions, local legends, architecture, humor and human moments, so the stones don’t stay silent for long. At a few stops, guests may join short optional story moments with simple provided scripts. Watching is perfectly fine too. No acting skills needed, only curiosity.

Let me give you a sneak peek into Tel Aviv’s street art scene. On this tour we walk through the neighborhood and look at the walls, the murals and the writing on the wall. But the real reason I do it is to show you the scene from the inside, because something changed here recently. A new wave of artists joined in, and they brought a lot of color to the city. The municipality gave up on stopping it. Now developers sell new apartments with the graffiti underneath. My tag is worth money today. I never planned that. Along the way I’ll share a unique kind of graffiti art that exists only in Israel, and only in this neighborhood. I’ll tell you who paints where and what the unwritten rules of the street are. Since October 7th the walls have changed. You’ll see sorrow, and also hope for better times, as the art comes back to life. I paint live too, and I’ve watched this scene grow from the inside. Come walk it with me and ask me anything.

Our tour takes place in the Jewish quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem and is themed on the return to Zion. First, what is Zion – it is from the Jewish bible and was first used as the name of the fortress King David captured when the Israelites captured Jerusalem about 3000 years ago. Then it became synonymous with Jerusalem and Israel. From the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE 2000 years ago in Jerusalem, Jews have been trying to regain again a permanent foothold in their most holy city. As Jews were exiled all around the world, Jerusalem was the magnet drawing Jews back here - returning to Zion even under the most harrowing of circumstances. On our tour, we will hear and see what happened when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and hear stories of how Jews returned at different times over the Centuries. The loss of the Jewish Quarter in 1948 and then the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967 once again to be the Eternal Capital of Israel.
