“Walking Tour of Tel Aviv”
Melissa switched her personal schedule to accomodate our availability taking this tour on her normal day off. This was much appreciated. She covered pretty much everything we wanted to see in the allotted time. It was a good way to orient us to much of TA and help us plan the rest of our time here. Thank you!!!
