An unexpected and exciting visit to Yaffo. I thought I knew this place I'd been walking so often. I discovered in this guided walk small treasures both historically and artistically. There is reading but also audio, which is very nice. A walk that can interest everyone, from the smallest to the largest.

I was so happy to find a Jaffa tour in French. An approach to the original city by meeting the great personalities of the neighborhood, historical or present. You really feel like you’re discovering the hidden side of Jaffa and looking for a treasure. It was also very nice not to have the pressure of a group and to go at his own pace.

I loved the experience for several reasons: First I discovered hidden treasures of Yafo, and then the fact that the story is about characters is original and sends us back to something more emotional. And then I liked being independent and visiting at my own pace.
A true and delicious 'cup of culture'.

'A travel in space and time'. This tour not only fulfills its promise, it also goes beyond with its originality, openness and clarity. Thanks to Catherine's insightful commentary and well-chosen landmarks, I traversed epochs, places and characters that I had never noticed in my previous walks in Yaffo. I was neither bored nor confused but interested and many links and ideas sprang to mind during this self-guided tour where I was immersed in an engaging refined audio tour and an easy-to-follow map. I explored a thousands of years through various point of views, you name it, history, geography, religions, cuisine, conquests, politics and more: it was a true and delicious 'cup of culture'.
