A little about the light rail and the Tel Aviv area's mass transit system
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.
