    It’s my first time in Tel Aviv and I decided to do this tour on my first day in the city. The tour guide Yaron was amazing and took us to places I wouldn’t have thought to explore otherwise. Highly recommend this experience!

    Complete Waste of Time - Tour Guide No Showed

    Hannah_S, May 2025
    The tour guide no-showed and the tour didn’t happen. I didn’t plan anything else for my day so it was a completely waste.

    Great walking tour

    Carmel market was a true treat. Jaffa is beautiful excellent guide .Great way to experience the city of short on time

    Can do this on your own

    Margarita_K, May 2023
    I think there could have been a little more of Jaffa. The fountain with beautiful creatures was not shown, a short walk through the cute streets with galleries was not shown. It was just a walk up the stairs and around and out. If I have not seen Jaffa before I would miss all the wonderful qualities. The Carmel market was fun but the 3rd leg of the tour was boring and not necessary after 5 hrs of walking

    Great way to experience Tel Aviv

    History of Jaffa was very...

    Wayne_W, Nov 2022
    History of Jaffa was very interesting to reimagine in person. The guide was passionate and very knowledgeable

    Jaffa is history brought to life!

    The Jaffa tour and climb to the high point of the neighborhood. And I very much enjoyed the Carmel Market and the culinary treats which our tour guide arranged for us.

    Great!!!

    Gal is an amazing guide. We took the 7 hours tour. If you want to do a full day tour, make sure you are in shape and wear comfortable shoes. But it’s worth every step.

    Extremely disappointing

    carolsolich, Aug 2022
    Our guide Sivan was nice and helpful; he was happy to go out of his way to assist us with some extra things we required however on the whole, this tour was extremely disappointing. We did the full day tour: Jaffa, Carmel market and the graffiti tour. Overall we felt that his knowledge of history and the city was poor. Delivery of stories was extremely slow, which made it hard to stay engaged. There was no new information imparted, from that which you could read online. He was not very enthusiastic about his job and even expressed that he didn’t like doing the graffiti tour - which put a big dampener on that part of the tour. Visiting Carmel market involved stopping past three food stands - no information or history, just a walkthrough, which could be easily done on your own. Overall, save your money. Do a free walking tour - whose guides seem to be more enthusiastic and work hard for their tips, or download an app and do the walk yourself.

    Great tour!

    Great indepth tour of jaffa and southern Tel Aviv. Good stops at the Carmel market we're great and unique. Guide was knowledge and fun. Just go with a big bottle of water, hat and sunscreen. You're walking through the heat and sun and it will bear on you. Be prepared and you'll be great

    Would recommend
