5.00I was so lucky to have Alina as my guide. I was the only one for this tour! Alina was very knowledgeable and combined history and religion. She also helped me understand the complicated history of Jaffa. Alina was also sensitive to my needs, especially walking up and down stairs. I truly recommend this tour with Alina.
Basically a scam

2.00Tour “guide” didn’t really know anything about Jaffa and just walked around with us mentioning some random tidbits. She was not a certified guide and this seemed more of a side gig. Some things that she said were not even correct. Asked at the beginning of the tour if she could take pictures of us on her phone and we ended up being asked to pay $60 to get them. Felt very disappointing as for some of the group it was the first visit to Jaffa and we didn’t learn anything, AND we would have taken our own pictures instead. Wrote to the company about our experience after the tour and they didn't even have the decency to acknowledge it.
Enlightening

5.00The knowledge that my tour guide had was phenomenal. He showed me some parts of old Jaffa that I didn’t know about. The hanging orange tree is not to be missed!
Tour Guide no-show

1.00They did not show up or respond to messages. I walked 4 km to the meeting spot and then stood in the blazing sun for 30 minutes waiting on them - still nothing.

5.00Vibrant city by the sparkling sea! Just watch the nipping fish in the water. There is much to see and do for young and old alike. Visit the old city, or hang out after dark in the clubs. It is all here! I felt safe as a single woman walking alone at night along the beach, which is more than I can say for many other seaside cities.
A must trip
