Excellent Experience
Samuel's tour of Jaffa was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, patient, entertaining, thoughtful and kind. I highly recommend using Samuel as a tour guide.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your very kind review! I had a lovely time exploring Jaffa with you both and am delighted to hear that the feeling was mutual. I hope to welcome you back to Israel in the future.

Awesome tour of Jaffa
Samuel was an excellent guide for our evening tour of Jaffa. He’s is super friendly and amazingly knowledgeable about all things Israel. The evening walk through ancient Jaffa was a delight and Samuel was very attentive, making sure we were happy throughout the tour, and adjusting the pace appropriately. I would definitely recommended Samuel if you’re thinking about a guide anywhere in Israel. He is friendly, personable and a total expert!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for this very kind review! I had a super time exploring Jaffa with you and am delighted you enjoyed yourself so much. I hope to welcome you back to Israel in the future!

The most fun I have ever had on a walking tour 😀
Jacob’s skill in storytelling helped to bring Jaffa town to life. He was able to transport out through the history of Jaffa in a fun yet informative way. I would def recommend this tour and Jacob, he is a phenomenal tour guide!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your kind review! I had a great time exploring Jaffa with you and am really happy to hear that you found it both informative and fun - I want people to enjoy their vacations! I hope to be able to welcome you back to Israel in the future.

Not to be missed!!
WOW!!!! The best tour ever!!! Samuel is a true storyteller!! The tour started at the clock tower and took us back to the beginning of time… as though we walked the streets with all the historical figures who walked there before us!! This is my 3rd tour with Samuel and I am looking forward to many more! Few guides manage to make Israel come alive as he does!!! Hands down THE BEST!!

Value not worth it
If you charge over $600 for 2 hour trip, at least you can provide some snacks, drinks. There were no even water offered while guide made sure to bring his backpack with water just for himself. We were cold but but guide didn’t not have any suggestions but sit on the bench outside in the breeze and listen his stories. He was very knowledgeable but lack of service especially when he got paid over $600 just for 2 hours.
Response from the operator: I'm devastated to hear that you were not happy with your experience as I set extremely high standards for myself. And so first, I'm really, genuinely, disappointed that the tour didn't meet your expectations. The cost is the specific price of an evening tour in Jaffa offered through the TripAdvisor/Viator website. A significant amount of the fee doesn't actually go to the guide. That's not a problem from my point of view but I thought it was worth clarifying as it may not be obvious. Also, the pricing isn't reflective of the cost of the personalised private day tours I offer for direct booking which are all custom-built based on people's interests and budget. I went back to look over the tour description. It does state clearly what is included (licensed tour guide, entry fees) but it doesn't explicity state that refreshments aren't included and so I have made that change to hopefully avoid confusion in the future. The duration of the tour is indicated as 1-3 hours and the description says that "we'll wander the alleyways of Old Jaffa, discovering its stories, tales and legends". I always begin every tour by emphasising that the tour is yours. That even though there is a timeframe, I'm not on the clock. And that I'd really like you to tell me how you're doing, if you'd like to change things up in the middle, if there's something to improve, if you want to stop for a coffee etc. Because I recognise this is sometimes difficult culturally and people don't want to offend, I check in regularly during the tour and make sure that you're interested in more stories, that you still have energy, if you'd like a break etc. And because it was a cool evening I asked if you were ok with the temperature and also offered to borrow my jacket. I always want the people I'm guiding to have the best time possible. Giving people a great experience is what gives me the greatest satisfaction. That's why I do my best to encourage real-time feedback throughout any tour because if there is anything you'd like to change, normally I can - and will. I was particularly sad to read this review as on a personal level I very much enjoyed meeting you both, getting to know you, exploring the winding alleyways of Jaffa together and answering all your very insightful questions. I hope that the rest of your trip here is fantastic. And, as I said on the night, if you have any questions at all or need any advice about the rest of your time here, you're welcome to be in touch and it would be my pleasure.

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Explore Old Jaffa by night - Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tel Aviv.
How much does Explore Old Jaffa by night - Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $368 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tel Aviv usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Explore Old Jaffa by night - Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tel Aviv is not rushed.
Is Explore Old Jaffa by night - Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Tel Aviv, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Explore Old Jaffa by night - Private Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Explore Old Jaffa by night - Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Explore Old Jaffa by night - Private Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tel Aviv can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tel Aviv and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore Old Jaffa by night - Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tel Aviv within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tel Aviv?
+
On Outty we rank every Tel Aviv experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Carmel Market Tasting Tour - LocaLocal, Guided Pub Crawl Night Tour at Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv Street Art & Graffiti Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tel Aviv?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tel Aviv?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
