Great walking tour of Old Jaffa

I was so lucky to have Alina as my guide. I was the only one for this tour! Alina was very knowledgeable and combined history and religion. She also helped me understand the complicated history of Jaffa. Alina was also sensitive to my needs, especially walking up and down stairs. I truly recommend this tour with Alina.

Basically a scam

Tour “guide” didn’t really know anything about Jaffa and just walked around with us mentioning some random tidbits. She was not a certified guide and this seemed more of a side gig. Some things that she said were not even correct. Asked at the beginning of the tour if she could take pictures of us on her phone and we ended up being asked to pay $60 to get them. Felt very disappointing as for some of the group it was the first visit to Jaffa and we didn’t learn anything, AND we would have taken our own pictures instead. Wrote to the company about our experience after the tour and they didn't even have the decency to acknowledge it.

Enlightening

The knowledge that my tour guide had was phenomenal. He showed me some parts of old Jaffa that I didn’t know about. The hanging orange tree is not to be missed!
