On this tour…
This tour focuses on the UNESCO city of Tel Aviv, from its birth to the present. Israel’s cultural capital has blossomed over the past century, rising from simple beginnings into the heart of the startup nation.
Born out of sandy dunes of the coastal plains as a protest against the ‘old ways’ of the Ottomans, Tel Aviv sprung up just over one hundred years ago.
Its growth was fueled by an ideologically driver generation of newcomers, seeking the urban lifestyle they had left behind in Europe & Asia.
A swirling and whirling charm enveloped the city from its inception combining a dynamic mix of languages, flavors, and cultures, all competing for space on the tiniest of stages.
From the end of the Ottoman era, into the British Mandate, leading to the birth of Israel, Tel Aviv has been an integral site throughout these tumultuous times.
Join us for a tour that will change the way you feel about this city of splendors, wonders, and tales of love and heartache as we walk with wine and taste through time.
