Tal was very knowledgeable ,a wonderful 3 hours spent learning about the local culture and of course the food !! Do arrive with an empty stomach . Tal escorts you to the most wonderful food and drink vendors and is obviously well respected by those same vendors which sums her up. She was also very accommodating when we had to change the date due to illness.
We can't recommend Tal enough.

I am impressed with the organization and detail of this tour! Tal did a great job describing the history of the Yemenite Quarter and treating us to food around the market. She is constantly saying "hi" to vendors and shoppers in the market, which is evidence of the great relationships she has built with them. I felt like I was led by a local rather than given a "corporate" version of a food tour (which I have experienced in other cities).

Tal is a fantastic tour guide. We loved visited the Yemenite vineyard area and Carmel market. The food was delicious and there was a lot of it, so come hungry.

Our tour guide, Tal was a delight. She knew the history of the Carmel Market district and the Yemenite community. The food tastings were plentiful and delicious as well as being tied closely to the Yemen cuisine. You cannot go wrong with this tour. It is a very small group and Tal is very much a part of the community. It’s an intimate and very local experience.

Tal is a great local food guide. The food itself was great - we had ~8-9 servings of food/drinks. Learned a lot about the history behind the Carmel market.
+ Great communication via Whatsapp
+ Small groups
+ She stayed with us at the end to answer all of our questions

Tal, our guide, was professional, knowledgeable, and insightful. She explained the history, culture and of course the Yemeni influence on the food of Tel Aviv. The tour was more than a culinary pleasure.
