Tel Aviv and Jaffa Most Exciting Private Tour

Our family of seven had the absolute pleasure of touring Israel with Levi for four full days, and we could not have asked for a better guide. Over the course of our tours - Old Jerusalem, Tel Aviv & Jaffa, Masada and the Dead Sea, and Akko and Caesarea - Levi was consistently punctual, incredibly knowledgeable, and endlessly engaging. What truly set Levi apart was his rare ability to connect with everyone in our group, from grandparents to grandchildren. He treated us like family, tailoring his explanations and stories so that each person felt included, curious, and excited to learn. His deep knowledge of Israel’s history, combined with thoughtful insights into modern Israeli society, greatly enriched our experience and appreciation of the country. Levi was easy to communicate with, flexible with our needs, and an absolute joy to spend time with. His warmth, enthusiasm, and passion for Israel were evident every single day. Thanks to him, these tours were not just sightseeing trips, but meaningful, memorable experiences we will cherish forever. We recommend Levi without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional guide in Israel - we will certainly be back.

I booked the trips for my friends/guests. They enjoyed it and thought it was great. I found the amount of pictures that the guide took of the 2 females guests and of some of the body parts were uncomfortable for me. Would I recommend it next -? They liked the tour. I wasn't so happy with the amount and type pictures taken especially of one of them.

My husband and I were so pleased with the two private tours we received from Levi. He is a source of great knowledge, deep in his understanding of history and hugely passionate. We felt so privileged and grateful to have such an intelligent and richly knowledgeable guide. There are guides… and then there are Guides!!! Do not be mistaken - he is the real deal.

Levi did a great job showing us the many sights of Tel Aviv. Communication of the history and the story behind the highlights was very good. We would highly recommend him.

Our guide, Levi Selkind, did an excellent job of taking us through the history of Jaffa and Tel-Aviv, visiting the old city of Jaffa in some detail and touring us through the city of Tel-Aviv. His insight and explanations were very informative and his casual and friendly manner was very welcomed. We highly recommend this tour and guide.

We had a great experience with Levi Zelkind who was our private tour guide in TelAviv. In the short period of time we saw the old Jaffa and the new and old parts of TelAviv. He is very knowledgeable and shared his love and knowledge about Israel with our family. He answered all of our questions. It was very pleasant experience for our family from the beginning when we booked the trip to the minute we got dropped at our hotel.

Avi gave us a great tour and was very informative about places we visited. He also was willing to answer questions about the Israeli culture which we really appreciated. Part of traveling is learning different cultures. We enjoyed Jaffa and seeing the American and German colonies. The bow house style buildings were interesting, and the architecture of modern skyscrapers provided contrast.

Here's the review I posted on the Viator website: My friend and I signed up and paid 338 USD in advance for this tour which was described on the Viator website as 6 hours, to include among other things Old Jaffa, the Carmel Market, Nahalat Benjamin neighborhood, the Eretz Israel Museum, and the open balcony of the Itzhak Rabin Museum. We were picked up by our guide, Levi Zelkind, who let us know within the first 15 minutes that the tour would only be for 4 hours, and that he'd forgotten to update the description of the tour as described on Viator that we'd already paid for. As the tour proceeded, he was going to cut out the visit to the Eretz Israel Museum, but then said he would take us there if we paid for our own admittance, which we did. After that, the rest of the tour was extremely rushed and tense, and once he dropped us off he made sure to let us know that he had extended the tour to 5 hours for us. We did learn some facts from Levi and finished the tour knowing more than when we started, but the whole experience was very unpleasant and was misrepresented on the Viator website. Update: Since then the guide contacted me on my personal cell phone to complain about the review. So unprofessional, causing me to block his cell number.

<p>Very good trip. The guide was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. We moved a bit too slow though, lots of history to hear and at some point became a bit heavy. Very recommended in any case.</p>

<p>His information was very good. We wanted to stop at a couple of places to do some quick buying of a particular item. He wanted the tour to completely be and information tour. We never came to an agreement on it. Luckily I found the item the next day.</p>
