In this tour we walk through the old city of Jaffa, one of the oldest port cities in the world. It was from Jaffa that Peter spread out his wings to the west to spread Christianity to the non-believers and it was from Jaffa that the Jews, at the end of the 18th century, went to the North to start Jewish neighborhoods.
From Jaffa we walk, or use taxi (cost not included) to go to Neve Tzedek.
In 1909, after many more small neighborhoods were build, affluent Jews who arrived mainly from Eastern Europe, wanted some quality as well and decided to build a neighborhood with electricity, running water and a sewage system. The name of this neighborhood, Ahuzat Bayit, was changed to Tel Aviv the year after.
We continue on Rothschild Boulevard, walking through the largest concentration of buildings in the International Style in the world which the UN awarded the Unesco Heritage status. We finish at Sarona, an agricultural settlement founded in the 19th century by German Templars.

Itinerary
Jaffa Old City
120 min
In this tour we walk through the old city of Jaffa, one of the oldest port cities in the world. It has been conquered and administered by many different peoples: Egyptians, Romans, Muslims, Crusaders, French (Napoleon), British and and now again by the Jews.
It was from Jaffa that Peter spread out his wings to the west to spread Christianity to the non believers and it was from Jaffa that the Jews, at the end of the 18th century, went to the North to start Jewish neighborhoods.
Neve Tzedek
90 min
The first Jewish neighborhood outside Jaffa and a prime example of gentrification.
From a slum from the 19th century that was about to be erased, it became home to over a dozen billionaires. This charming, chic, neighborhood is now filled with boutiques, cafe’s, restaurants and elegant fashion and jewelry stores.
Rothschild Boulevard
60 min
In 1909, after many more small neighborhoods were build, affluent Jews who arrived mainly from Eastern Europe, wanted some quality as well and decided to build a neighborhood with electricity, running water and a sewage system. The name of this neighborhood, Ahuzat Bayit, was changed to Tel Aviv the year after.
White City
45 min
Walking through the largest concentration of buildings in the International Style in the world which the UN awarded the Unesco Heritage status.
Sarona
45 min
An agricultural settlement founded in the second half of the 19th century by German Templars. Like more Germans in the 1930s, many started hanging swastika flags out of their homes, which was not appreciated by both the British and the Jews and during WWII most were expelled to Australia.
In 1948 Sarona became the headquarters of both the Israeli government and the Israeli army. All original buildings have recently been renovated and the site turned into one of Tel Aviv's hot spots with boutique shops, bars, restaurants and an excellent indoor culinary Sarona Market. Here we end the tour and you can start spoiling your inner self.

For all your tours in Israel - Amit Musaei is the person
I highly recommend Amit Musaei for any tour you want to take in Israel. He is a fount of knowledge, a great communicator, and takes care of his clients. I did the post 10/7 tour and was impressed with the historical background and context. There's no substitute for visiting the area with a local. Amit also shared his personal story. I've recommended him to everyone i know. When I return, I will probably take his tour again because there's so much to absorb.
Separately, we were very comfortable as a group of 10 in our airconditioned mercedez bus, and pick up/drop off was a snap.

eye-opening and wonderful
Amit is an amazing tour guide knowing the history of Israel and has a very user- friendly way of speaking. Being a survivor of the Oct 7th massacres, He gave me a private tour of sedorot, the nova festival and was a very moving, powerful story.
I highly recommend him for any of his tours, I wish I could speak with him forever as he is an encyclopedia of knowledge and wisdom regarding the history of Israel.

Travel back in time with Jeremy Lange
Who knew time travel was possible? Jeremy, our scary guide in Tel Aviv, convinced us to travel back in time to ancient Canaan. At first, my wife and I were confused. but Let me tell you, we had an experience that should be illegal. Finally, we're grateful that we made it back in one piece. however, if you have a strong heart, put it on your bucket list time travel with Jeremy Lange. highly recommend

<p>Super political tour guide. Spent 25 minutes or more on the various UN resolutions and how wrong they were, while sitting in front of Independence Hall. We held the same beliefs of the tour guide but I still did not come for a lecture, we came to see the sights.</p>

Great tour by Menno de Vries
Menno gave a tour for our 50 students from a study association from The Netherlands. The tour was really linked to our study area and Menno told us great stuff about the history of Jaffa, Tel Aviv and Israel. Great to have a tour in our own language with such a good guide! Great to have a pizza and beer with after the tour.
Operator response
Hi Tim,
Great to read you had a good time and cheers for the beer.
Shalom from Israel
