ABOUT US
Our Mission
We founded Aaron Gertz Tours with one simple thing in mind; Tel Aviv is the coolest city in the world and you can only truly appreciate it through the eyes of a local. All of our guides are residents of Tel Aviv who love the city, both for its beauty and its imperfections. We believe there are many aspects of a city that tell its story, so we use all sorts of tools--foods, graffiti, architecture, parks, the beach, meetings with local residents, etc.--to tell the story of this incredible city. So come join us for a tour and see Tel Aviv through the eyes of your new local friend!
