Jalen’s experience - The different types of food options on the tour. The guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. The guide was also very engaging with everyone. I would do this tour again.

The best way to experience Tel Aviv - We had such a great time, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun! You'll learn about the history of the market and get to taste a little of everything so come hungry! Bring a hat and sunscreen, in the summer it can get hot.

Delicious food and great history! - Yael was our guide and she was fantastic! Not only was the food yummy, but we got a lot of history about Tel Aviv and about the Carmel market. We had 2 different juices, went to the famous "dancing Yemini's" for a kind of meat & veggie on this amazing puffy break that they bake right there in a special oven, then another roll up on bread but Morrocan style with shredded beef, then two giant bowls of hummus with lots of "mix-in's"- also fantastic, then what I would call panna cotta but it is Malabi here, milk pudding topped with candied cashews, pomegranates and coconut- needless to say, we were completely stuffed! Definitely do this tour and I hope you get Yael!

A captivating and delicious experience - The tour was so interesting. Our guide, Noam, was excellent - informative, well organized, very enjoyable company. She was able to explain the history of the food as well as the ingredients and preparation. I would highly recommend this tour

Curated experience - Hagita made the market come alive. I’ve been before but always felt a bit overwhelmed and baffled by the huge selection of foods and the large crowds. Hagita steered us through the stalls and picked the best of what the market has to offer.

Delicious Israel food tour Tel Aviv - As an Israeli who has lived here my whole life and visited Carmel Market countless times, I wasn't sure what to expect from this food tour. But I was blown away by all of the hidden gems and delicious places that our guide showed us! Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly, and shared interesting stories about the history and culture of the market and Tel Aviv. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fresh and delicious perspective on Israeli cuisine. The tour is part of Delicious Israel food tour activities .

Carmel Market Tour is a great value if you are a foodie - Food was excellent. The location is a fascinating mix of cultures. The guide pointed out many unique facts about the food, cultures, and history we would have missed on our own. The price was extremely reasonable.

Fun for group - The booking was easy for a group of nine. But the meeting place was a bit confusing. Caused some confusion and delay in starting, as well as a few phone calls back-and-forth. That is unfortunate…. … guide was friendly and nice, first stop, was the bathrooms, which I think is smart. And we had two hours of walking through a market. The tour could be improved if they hit more spots and had less volume served per spot.. I would prefer more and different options regarding the kinds of food. For example, maybe 2 types of halva instead of one (cinnamon) … pomegranate, or dragon fruit, something special instead of the strawberry banana smoothie… baklava instead of all of the same huge servings. Get a variety and cut them into smaller pieces…. If you give us a time limit at each place, we would know we can wander a little and shop.;) but overall it was a fun thing to do as a group.

Find something else - Simple tour through the Carmel market. Designed for a large group so you only go to spots where it is easy to serve a large group, whereas on a small boutique tour you may get nicer places, larger portions and have the guide be able to accommodate dietary requirements more. Dessert was especially terrible - was basically a bad panna cotta.

Save your money and see the market on your own - We didn’t think this tour was worth the money. The guide was halfway through another tour with some of the people on our food tour and was not particularly engaged for the market part. She was also vegetarian and made the tour very carb heavy with no meat which I found disappointing. I also asked if we could do our final tasting - which she seemed undecided about - at a Halvah stand but was told no. I get that you can’t customize much in a group tour but this seemed like it would have been easy enough to do. We went through the market in Jerusalem without a guide and had a much better experience.
