Best of Tel Aviv and Jaffa 1 Day Walking Tour

Our Best of Tel Aviv and Jaffa Walking Tour is a combination of history, culture, art, and food. The full-day tour is an immersive and authentic way to explore Tel Aviv and learn about the design and the people through Tel Aviv’s history, architecture, food, and street art.

Start the morning exploring Old Jaffa. See the iconic views along the Mediterranean Coast, the Old Jaffa Port, and the beautiful alleyways of the Old Jaffa and Flea Market. Hear about the history of Jaffa, from the Bible when Jonah set off from here in the story of the whale, right up until today when it is a vibrant neighborhood with a rich cultural and ethnic tapestry. Continue into the Neve Tzedek neighborhood, the first Jewish neighborhood outside of Old Jaffa, with its beautiful eclectic and unique architecture. Learn about the establishment of Modern Tel Aviv just 115 years ago, and how the city is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its Bauhaus and eclectic architecture. Head into the famous Shuk Hacarmel (Carmel Market), where you will experience a culinary food and tasting adventure for the senses. Continue to an area with a different vibe in South Tel Aviv’s Florentin neighborhood. Here learn about the stories told by the vibrant street art in the neighborhood. Tel Aviv’s street art has dynamic stories to tell often with political undertones and historical roots. Join others in a group walking tour through these three districts of the city, each with their own unique vibe but all inherently Telavivian.

Connecting the three main areas of Jaffa, the Carmel Market, Rothschild Boulevard and its surrounding streets, and the southern Tel Aviv neighborhood of Florentin, our Tel Aviv and Jaffa Walking Tour covers the city’s history, architecture, food, and street art and is a unique and excellent way to see many parts of the city by foot in one exciting day.
