Vé di động
On this tour, Jaffa becomes a stage full of impossible characters: pharaohs, prophets, Greek monsters, Ottoman governors, St Peter, Napoleon, pilgrims, fishermen and people who came here looking for a new beginning.
I’m Maria Lando, a licensed Israeli tour guide who has lived between 3 cultures and guides in English, Hebrew and rusty Russian. My style is warm, curious and story-driven. I connect archaeology, biblical traditions, local legends, architecture, humor and human moments, so the stones don’t stay silent for long.
At a few stops, guests may join short optional story moments with simple provided scripts. Watching is perfectly fine too. No acting skills needed, only curiosity.

Cần Quan Tâm
Jaffa Old City
We start near the Ottoman Clock Tower, built when Jaffa was trying to become modern and, according to local jokes, even the camels finally knew the time. Then we enter Old Jaffa near its legendary Jerusalem Gate, a threshold crossed for more than 3,500 years by pharaohs’ armies, Crusaders, pilgrims, emperors, writers, immigrants and people chasing miracles.
Andromeda's Rock
From the sea viewpoint, we look toward the rocks linked to Andromeda, the princess of Jaffa in Greek mythology. A proud queen, an angry sea god, a chained daughter, a monster, and Perseus arriving just in time. In Jaffa, every empire and every faith seems to have left a story by the shore.

5.00Do yourself a favor and book this tour with Maria. I grew up here and walk these streets every day, but I never knew any of the facts Maria shared. This evening sunset tour completely blew my mind—from the Clock Tower to St. Peter’s house to the Jaffa Port and the astrology bridge, Maria's knowledge is just so vast and impressive. She tells stories in a way that’s engaging, interactive, and incredibly easy to follow, with an amazing flow and perfect timing. It was so easy and comfortable to book everything. Maria is incredibly warm, accommodating, and perfectly tailors the experience to your needs and interests. I’ve gone on a few different trips with Maria now, and she is easily the best, most interesting guide I’ve ever met. I recommend Maria's tours 100000/100!
