This is the perfect overview tour if you have just one day to see as much as you can of ever changing Tel Aviv and eternal Jaffa.

You'll start in 4000 year Old Jaffa. Here we shall see the archaeological findings from the days of the Pharaohs, Crusader ruins, mosques and churches, evidence of Napoleon's invasion and defeat, and walk along the winding alleyways of old Jaffa and the Jaffa Port. A combination of all these has won Old Jaffa a title of the World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Just crossing a street, and you'll find the American Colony, a unique settlement built over 150 years ago by a Christian religious group from the State of Maine, who came to resettle the Holy Land in preparation for the coming of the Messiah.

Beautiful European-style buildings around American Colony are part of Valhalla, a German Protestant colony from the 1870's established by the German Templers, who helped build up the Holy Land.

You’ll further visit Never Zedek Neighborhood – the first Jewish Settlement outside Old Jaffa walls and birth place of Tel Aviv. This fully restored and renovated area is one of the most attractive parts of Tel Aviv today.

Then the tour moves into the vibrant heart of the Modern Tel Aviv around Rothschild Boulevard, to discover the eclectic mix of modern skyscrapers, Middle Eastern and beautiful Bauhaus architecture of the White City of Tel Aviv, designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO.

The next stop is Sarona, another German Templar colony and one of the earliest modern villages of Palestine. Its well-preserved houses are all built in the old German style and the entire area is an open air market and recreation area.

If the time and energy still permit that, we shall finish our tour at the renovated Tel Aviv Port which has turned into one of the most popular attractions of the present day Tel Aviv.
