Carmel Market Verkostungstour

It was just amazing!!!! We enjoy every moment. This is a deep tour where you dive into the depths of the market and the most secrets of the temple. Our guide Jan made us the whole tour simply fascinating!!! It's obvious how much Ian loves guidance, which is his passion. It's highly recommended to ask for Ian, you won't be sorry!

We were a group of teachers on a tour of the caramel market with the guide's items. There was a delicious and pleasant tour. Everyone came out happy and happy and especially seven:) My items were sweet and kind about it.

100% recommendation!! We had the best time! Great stories, amazing food, such an awesome time, definitely do this!! A good variety of food from hummus to wraps to a yummy dessert!

A big thank you to Yael! This tour is perfect for arriving in Tel Aviv. Yael impressed me with her knowledge. I learned a lot about the history of Tel Aviv and the Carmel Market. The tasting was a culinary experience or just 'sau guad' as we say in Bavaria! I can highly recommend the tour and would book it again at any time.

Very glad we chose this tour for our first activity in Israel! We got to try a bunch of different things instead of just one or two like we would have done if we went on our own. It was nice to hear some facts about the market and surrounding area from a local as well. We went in the end of July so it was very hot for some parts but other parts were under shade and cooler. I personally did not enjoy the dessert when Israel has so many other delicious dessert options but can appreciate the historical significance of the dish! We went back and walked through the market again and art market next door (which our guide told us about during the tour) afterwards. I would recommend this tour to anyone but I think I would suggest to do it on a weekday if you do not want the market so crowded although the crowd did not really bother us. There is also a bathroom break halfway through for people like me who over-hydrate before going outside in the heat!

The tour with Yael was great and very informative. We first had a juice/smoothie shot, then we had a Yemenite dish called Mallawah (simple, but so tasty). After that, Yael brought us Frena, a quarter pita filled with a 10/10-aioli sauce and slow cooked meat or, in my case, cauliflower. Inbetween the dishes, she told us about the history of the market and the city of Tel Aviv. The best main dish was the Hummus with different toppings. For our group of 7 people she brought us three bowls of different kinds of Hummus, and everyone was quite full after that. As a first dessert, we had two Baumstriezel together (I don't know why this was part of the tour as it is not really typical Israeli food ... :D) and as a second dessert we had Malabi at a famous place a little outside the market - this was my personal favorite. It was a lot of food, but not too much, and with the knowledge Yael shared with us, the price is appropriate, but I think I would not take a tour of this price if it wasn't a gift... :)

I brought my adult children and me and my husband on this tour. I have done it numerous other times and each time it is very different but always excellent! There are quite a few tastings, enough to fill one up! I can not eat gluten so I didnt get as many tastings as the others but our guide went above and beyond to put different things together for me. I did not feel left out. Our guide made it a very personal experience as she had a relationship with the different places we stopped and they were all ready for us when we arrived. I highly recommend this tour to get some good ISREALI flavors!

This tour was informative AND delicious! We learned about the vendors and the history of the market as we enjoyed various types of food. We loved that vegan options were always available too. It was a great way to experience the Carmel Market!

It was nothing special and over priced. We first tasted 2 "health" drinks which were terrible, then tasted 3 other dishes: a falafel, a pita and something made with pyllo dough which were pretty good, then we tasted hummus which was good, but then we had a full size dessert that was terrible. I would have rather tasted a few other desserts. Save your money, if you go to the Carmel Market do your tasting on your own.

My tour guide, Zita was knowledgable, friendly, and professional. The good was awesome. Highly recommend!!!
