An entertaining and educational tour giving insights into the city and culture. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and found our guide both friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for choosing Tourist Japan!
Great day, great experience, Daniel made the city come alive.
Thank you! Tel Aviv is truly a city unlike any other!
This was a great tour! We really enjoyed our day with our tour guide, Yael. She did a great job explaining the sites we saw in an interesting and engaging way.
Thank you, Elizabeth! We appreciate your feedback and are glad Yael’s explanations made the sites more engaging and memorable.
Yesterday I made the day tour to Cesarea, Haifa and Akko guided by Yael. She made a very good job. She"s full of knowledge and has an answer for any question you have. A special idea was her recoommodation for lunch break in the nice Falaffel restaurant in Akko. Sitting at a roundtable had someting of family atmosphere. Thank you for your service, Yael. And a special thanks for our driver, who saved our lives on the way back. ;) Suggestion to Tourism Israel: Please offer a day tour only to the BA'hai Gardens. It's so beautiful there.
Thanks for sharing your experience. We’re happy to hear Yael’s knowledge, energy, and thoughtful lunch stop added to the day - those shared moments often become highlights. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the Baha’i Gardens and will pass it along to our product team as we continue developing new tour options.
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.
The tour was excellent covering Jaffa and Tel Aviv as well as the Carmel Shuk. Our guide, Daniel, was very knowledgeable about the areas covered providing informative history of the region.
Abrasha Park is located in Old Jaffa Hill and is a very beautiful park, suitable for relaxation. I noticed the monuments in the park and the amphitheater. It's a "must" if you visit Jaffa Israel.
Gal was a phenomenal tour guide, and her knowledge, exuberance, passion, and personality made for such a memorable tour. Gal was flexible with where she took me, she answered my questions with forethought and sincerity, and she took me to the absolute best hidden gems in Yafo and Tel Aviv. I would strongly suggest booking this tour and specifically requesting Gal’s expertise! Thank you, Gal, for a day I’ll never forget!
Our tour guide Noam (hope I spelled it correctly) was very knowledgeable about the communities, the food tasting and experience at the market was great.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that Noam, your tour guide, was knowledgeable and that you enjoyed the food tasting and market experience.
Excellent tour. I had Hagget ( apologies if I wrote it wrongly) our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable ,friendly and full of energy . Highly recommended. If I have another free day I would book another tour with her.
Thank you for sharing your good experience with Haggit, We are delighted to hear that you had an excellent day tour in Tel Aviv, your recommendation means a lot to us. Have a wonderful day!
