Wonderful Tour
Wonderful experience walking through Jaffa and the Carmel Market. The historical insight was wonderful and the food in the Carmel Market was plentiful

Beautiful views.
Annette was an excellent guide. The tour was fun. We enjoyed learning the history of Jaffa and Neve tzedek was very interesting.

Old town Jaffa
I did the walking tour today and really enjoyed the old town. I noticed on Tripadvisor and Viator the description for this tour is incorrect, this is definitely a walking tour of old town Jaffa and it was really excellent and a nice small group too. I had to leave halfway through to get my flight but I wish I could have done the whole tour. The guide was really helpful and knowledgeable, there was even time to look inside St Peter's Church and overall the pace was really nice. We passed other walking groups which were in my opinion too big in size, this was a great size group and I'd definitely recommend Tourist Israel. Thanks for the great tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the Jaffa walking tour and appreciated the small group size, knowledgeable guide, and comfortable pace. We're glad you had a great experience and appreciate your recommendation. Safe travels, we hope to welcome you back soon!

Great walk and tour
The tour was a great overview of Jaffa and a really beautiful walk through small walkways and along the sea. I really enjoyed it. It was a perfect size group as well.

Only Jaffa was included, and Neve Yzedek was really not included). This tour needs a new title.
Interesting tour of Jaffa. But the Neve Tzedek portion of the tour to which we looked forward (and its inclusion in the title was our primary reason for signing up for this tour as we’d been to Jaffa previously) was missing. This tour needs a new title & description.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any disappointment and will review the tour title and description for accuracy. We value your input and hope to exceed your expectations in the future. Thank you for choosing our tour.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Jaffa Walking Tour - Half-Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tel Aviv.
How much does Jaffa Walking Tour - Half-Day cost?
+
Prices start at $49 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 Jaffa Walking Tour - Half-Day take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours 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 Jaffa Walking Tour - Half-Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tel Aviv, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Jaffa Walking Tour - Half-Day?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Jaffa Walking Tour - Half-Day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Jaffa Walking Tour - Half-Day?
+
Around 8 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jaffa Walking Tour - Half-Day 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.

Where is the meeting point for Jaffa Walking Tour - Half-Day?
