Eat Your Way Through the Real Tel Aviv!
Where do locals get their falafel? What secret hides inside a dusty second-hand bookshop? And why has a charming little alley stayed nameless for a hundred years?
Skip the tourist traps. This self-guided food and nostalgia walk takes you through the beating heart of old-school Tel Aviv: from Magen David Square at the entrance to the legendary Carmel Market, up iconic Sheinkin Street, past preserved 1920s mansions and hidden neighborhood cafés, through leafy Meir Park, all the way to the original falafel stand of the Bezalel Market.
How does it work?
Your phone is your guide. At each of 14 stops you’ll hear the stories behind the streets: how the Carmel Market was born from a land deal gone sideways, who really wrote the 80s hit “Living on Sheinkin”, why Tel Aviv’s White City earned UNESCO World Heritage status, and the delicious gossip only locals know. No app to download, no group to follow, no schedule to keep. Start whenever you like and go at your own pace.
What’s on the menu?
Along the way you can stop for the city’s best fresh-squeezed juices and secret custom shakes, old-world poppy-seed pastries, artisanal ice cream on Nahalat Binyamin, and the legendary original Bezalel Market falafel with its famous round chips. Tastings are pay-as-you-go: stop wherever tempts you.

Frequently asked questions about the tour
What is a self-guided tour?
A self-guided tour is a digital experience that lets you explore on the ground in your own time and at your own pace, without a physical guide. It's essentially a self-guided tour where the guidance is delivered through your phone as an audio guide, and includes audio, videos, texts, and live maps with GPS navigation that leads you between the stops.
How does navigation work during the tour?
Navigation uses GPS that shows your location in real time and guides you to the next stop. The tour works as part of a self-guided tour experience with an audio guide, so at each point you can play voice content that explains the place.
What happens after purchase?
After ordering, you'll immediately receive a link and access code to the tour system. Log in from your phone or tablet and start whenever it's convenient for you. The tour is available for 14 days from the moment the code is redeemed, so you can buy today and start later — the day count begins only then.
Do I need to download an app?
No app download needed. The system runs directly in the browser on any device — smartphone, tablet, or computer. An internet connection is required during the activity to play the audio guide, content, and maps. Several people can join together around a single device.
What's the difference between permits and participants in a team?
A permit = one group that goes on the tour. Participants = how many phones are connected together within that group. For example: a group of 20 people splitting into 4 groups of 5 needs 4 permits. For each permit you choose how many phones are connected together: if each group travels with 2 phones — choose 2 participants. If everyone is around one phone — choose 1. For a couple or trio traveling together — one permit with 1 to 2 participants is enough.
