About the Tour

Layers of local history await you in the trendy Gan HaHashmal Neighborhood. It started as a luxury neighborhood, constructed by the financial elite of 1920’s Tel Aviv. Alas, over the years it crumbled down and was in dire state of urban decay up until the 1990’s. Transforming from a particularly dubious area, the neighborhood made a remarkable comeback in recent years. Gan HaHashmal is once again a highly coveted area in the heart of the city. As you stroll through its streets you will feel the positive vibes that ooze from the unique designer shops and from the fashionable cafes and restaurants. To uncover the magnificent history of Gan HaHashmal neighborhood follow this DIY tour that will unveil the intriguing stories that lie dormant in each stylish building that you see. A luxury neighborhood turned into a slum is now being rediscovered as the most electrifying place in Tel Aviv - by you!

Father of two and Tel Aviv tour guide since 2008.

My family was one of the founding families of Tel Aviv. Unfortunately, they didn't leave me any real estate so I guide tours instead.

I love to tell people about this amazing city. Join me and I hope you'll enjoy all that Tel Aviv has to offer!
