Walk through Neve Tzedek, the first Jewish neighbourhood built outside the walls of Old Jaffa and today one of the most beautiful corners of Tel Aviv. Your guide is Tomer Chelouche, a Tel Aviv tour guide since 2008 and a descendant of the Chelouche family, one of the families that founded Tel Aviv. Many of the stories on this walk are his own family's stories. We meet at HaTachana, the old Jaffa railway station. After a short introduction we head into Neve Tzedek's picturesque alleyways and learn how Tel Aviv grew out of Jaffa. Along the way we stop at landmarks such as the Suzanne Dellal Centre, the Chelouche Synagogue, the Gutman Museum and Eden Cinema, and hear the stories behind them that you won't find in a guidebook. The walk is easy-going, with plenty of stops, and takes about 90 to 120 minutes. It's a private tour, paced to your group, and suits families, couples and solo travellers. The route is stroller and wheelchair friendly. Tours are given in English or Hebrew.
