Tomer Chelouche here, Tel Aviv tour guide since 2008. I started guiding tours in the city out of fascination with my family history. The Chelouche family was one of the founding families of Tel Aviv. My ancestors built this city - and I’m telling its story.
This podcast is aimed to inspire you before your visit to Tel Aviv. You can listen to it whether you’re already on the plane en route to TLV airport, or if you’re still considering your next travel destination, and everything in between.
This podcast is free of charge and always will be. On the go, I’ll also give you specific recommendations about my audio tours, that you can purchase and experience when in Tel Aviv. I hope you like this podcast, and hopefully it will make your visit to Tel Aviv more enjoyable.
