The White City
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.
