Jaffa Walking Tour
One of the oldest settlements along the Eastern Mediterranean. Pharaoh Thutmose conquered the town which is mentioned in the Bible. Later, the Crusaders used its port. Starting 1291 Jaffa was ruled for centuries by Mamlukes and Ottomans, until 1917, when the British general Edmund Allenby led the Egyptian Expeditionary Force to conquer the city. In 1950, Jaffa was incorporated into the Tel Aviv municipality.

Neveh Tzedek, Tel Aviv
This is the first Jewish neighborhood built outside of Jaffa and the tour brings us back to the first days of Tel Aviv. By the end of the 1980s, efforts began to renovate and preserve Neve Tzedek’s century-old structures. New establishments were housed in old buildings, most notably the Suzanne Dellal Dance and Theater Center and the Nachum Gutman Museum, located in the artist’s home. This gentrification led to Neveh Tzedek’s rebirth as a fashionable and popular upmarket neighborhood. Its main streets are lined once again with artists’ studios, including the ceramics studio of Samy D., alongside trendy cafés and bars, boutique hotels and shops selling hand-made goods to wealthy Israelis and tourists.

Sarona, Tel Aviv, Guided Tour
Sarona is a newly renovated complex in the heart of Tel Aviv, originally a German Templar Colony, the site sits at the heart of what is a new central business district of the city. The German Sarona was established over 140 years ago by German Templars, Christians who headed to the Holy Land and created a ‘colony’ similar to those elsewhere across Israel characterized by modern achievements like the first electrical oil press in the country etc. In 1930’s a number of the Templars became engaged in activities with the Nazi Party. The British, who controlled the land at the time, declared the German Templars ‘enemy nationals’ following the outbreak of World War 2, and the Templars were exiled to Germany and Australia. The Templar Colony, established before even the first construction of Tel Aviv took place, became in the last years an impressive leisure and commerce destination.

Jerusalem Tour
The holy city to three religions has been a place of attraction for thousands of years. It has been destroyed and reconstructed by different empires, with different ideas about what the city should be. As a result, the city of Jerusalem is a confusing mosaic of religious shrines, historic sites and cultural monuments. Our unique tour to the Old City of Jerusalem takes us to the famous and well known sites of Jerusalem, as well as to hidden gems.

Akko, Acre (World Heritage Site). Akko has been known since biblical times. In 1104 it fell into Crusaders hands and became the economic center of the Crusader Kingdom in the Holy Land for the next 200 years. The impressive fortresses the Crusaders erected are evidence of a notable era — today the Crusader city lies under the present old town, which was built in the 18th century.

Massada Day Trip & Tour
Massada (World Heritage Site). The uniqueness of Massada is due to discoveries from the time of King Herod. He ruled the land 2000 years ago. Herod had many enemies; he decided to build a fortress for himself and his family on Massada—an isolated location in the Judean Desert. For this purpose he built casemate walls around the entire fortress, two castles, food warehouses, a water collection pool, baths etc. On Massada the drama during the Great Jewish Revolt against the Romans took place.
