Half day tour of American German colony and Old Jaffa

Reviewed June 23, 2022

I planned a half day tour with Jeff and friends - mainly to get the full Jaffa experience. We first toured the American- German Colony where Jeff gave a very detailed history of the area.  He carried a packet of maps, photos and general info which should have added to the tour but often distracted due to poor quality and Jeff having problems located the photos he wanted to share. Jeff is really interested in architecture so he spent a lot of time in the American-German Colony and other Tel Aviv sites before we got to Jaffa, where I felt we were somewhat rushed.  I was disappointed we did not have more time in Jaffa and we ended up spending additional time here after the tour ended so we could see more sites.

Shalom David Your request thru HQ was for a 2 hour tour, not a half day tour. I extended the tour to 3 hours to show you more. So yes, we were slightly rushed.

You will not be disappointed! Jeff is an incredible guide who spent two days with our group of three showing us the sites of Israel (Masada, Dead Sea, River Jordan, Jersulam, etc.). His knowledge and engaging approach made our experience memorable. He adapted the tour throughout to meet our needs and tailor to our interests. Jeff is a true professional and my group recommends him without reservation. When we visit Israel again, we will contact him to guide us around the many other sites. Jeff was recommended to us with glowing reviews which were affirmed by our experience. Thank you Jeff for a wonderful two days.

    Excellent walking Tour from Experienced guide

    Reviewed July 29, 2018

    We had a great walking  tour of Tel Aviv emphasizing architecture, history and politics. Jeff has a background in civil engineering and gave us good insight into TA building issues as well as details regarding the Bauhaus movement. He gave us a great overview of the Templar period and we visited Templar houses at Sarona market. He was very knowledgeable regarding modern politics and gave us good background to the Rabin assassination when we visited Rabin square.  The group ranged in age from 8-54 and Jeff adapted himself well to all members of the group. Jeff has lots of life experiences that he shared with us when appropriate. A+ for knowledge, professionalism and fun. Highly recommended!
