About the Tour

In 2003 UNESCO designated the White City of Tel Aviv as a world heritage site. What is so special about the White City? In this tour we look for answers in the history and cultural significance of what has become a hallmark for architectural preservartion. We start at Dizengoff Square, considered the heart of the White City, walk through the interesting sites showcasing its heritage and conclude with a stroll on busy Dizengoff Street. Along the way, we'll get to the heart of what makes Tel Aviv's architecture a world renowned treasure.

I started guiding tours in Tel Aviv in the footsteps of my ancestors, who participated in the establishment of the city. Unfortunately, they didn't leave me any real estate :) But at least they left me with good stories.

I live in Tel Aviv, a father of two lovely children (most of the time), and I hold a Master's degree in Political Science and Public Policy from the Tel Aviv University. I feel like my children have taught me more about life than my university studies.

In my tours I strive to create an experience where participants feel like they are part of the story. I love to tell stories about Tel Aviv, that you can see with your very eyes. I'm intrigued by every curve of a building, every sewer cap bearing the city's emblem and every street sign - and I hope you'll enjoy hearing the stories behind them as much as I enjoy telling them.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen

The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.

Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions

VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.

Resume playback to go at your own pace

If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.

Listen as many times as you like

You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.

Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast

Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.

Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync

Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.

Do tours without paying for data

Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.
