Day tour of Tel Aviv and Jaffa (the twin cities)

The ancient city of Jaffa, melancholy and picturesque on the Mediterranean, with its four thousand year-long history. It has re-emerged to become an up-beat cultural center for young Palestinians and Israelis alike, with top-rated restaurants and venues. Tel Aviv has been established only in 1909. We will visit the historic quarter with its quaint houses and through to the 1930s White City Modernist architecture ("International Style") part of the city with its Bohemian cafés and locales. This part of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also the first "Hebrew" city: modern Hebrew had been reinvented and first taught to newborn babes in the early 1900s. I will share my personal story about this with you. Tel Aviv is Israel's cultural center, and renowned for its gastronomical variety - from ethnic street food to top-notch restaurants, and a vibrant club scene. We take pride in our liberal values, easy-going atmosphere and tolerance. We're becoming a world LGBT hub. We'll talk about that too.
