Notes
The tour includes walking through the streets of Florentin.
A street art tour of Florentin – a huge open-air gallery, with a guide who is also an active street artist.
Florentin sits on the seam: between Jaffa and Tel Aviv, between old houses and garages and new towers, between bakeries run by the same family for three generations and new boutique bakeries, and between immigrant communities and young families. Out of all this, in recent years, a huge open-air gallery has grown: artists from all over Israel and the world...

Florentin sits on the seam: between Jaffa and Tel Aviv, between old houses and garages and new towers, between bakeries run by the same family for three generations and new boutique bakeries, and between immigrant communities and young families. Out of all this, in recent years, a huge open-air gallery has grown: artists from all over Israel and the world come to create on its walls – sometimes commissioned and paid, sometimes with a blind eye turned, and often against the law, at the price of fines and nights in custody.
What we'll talk about along the way
What drives an artist to create in the street, without recognition and at personal risk?
What is the difference between graffiti and street art – and where is the line with vandalism?
Who are Tel Aviv's creators, and what are they trying to tell us about the city?
What are the rules of creating in the street?
Together we'll learn to read the writing on the wall, through the personal stories of a guide who creates in the street herself and her encounters with the artists.
Tel Aviv-Jaffa through its food, art and stories – with someone who knows every corner of it.
I'm a licensed tour guide, archaeologist and artist. I've been guiding since 2008, and for the past decade I've focused solely on Tel Aviv-Yafo, the city where I was born.
⬤ Tailor-made tours – I adapt every tour to the group, and adjust it as we go.
⬤ Market food – tastings that tell the story of a place and its people.
⬤ Street art from the inside – my signature tour. I paint in urban projects myself, and on the tour you'll meet street artists I know personally.
⬤ History, architecture and archaeology – in Jaffa and Tel Aviv, including lesser-known neighborhoods. MA in Archaeology and Religious Studies, with experience in research excavations.
I'd be happy to tailor a tour for you and show you my city.
