Description

Journey by train to ancient Acre! Travel like a local along Israel's coast, then explore Crusader forts, Ottoman markets, and the vibrant port with a private guide.
Experience Israel like a local on this unique adventure combining a scenic train journey with exploration of one of the world's most ancient port cities.

Your day begins at Tel Aviv's Savidor Central Station, where you'll meet your private guide. Board the comfortable coastal train and enjoy stunning views of the Mediterranean as you travel north to Acre—a city with over 5,000 years of continuous history.

Upon arrival, we'll dive straight into the UNESCO World Heritage Old City. Walk through history as you explore the remarkably preserved Crusader halls and Knights' Templar Tunnel—underground passages that once connected the fortress to the port.

Next, immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the Old City Market, where the scent of spices and fresh coffee fills the air. Your guide will help you navigate the vibrant stalls and share stories of Acre's Ottoman past.

We'll visit the magnificent Al-Jazzar Mosque with its iconic green dome and explore the Hammam al-Pasha Museum, which brings to life the city's Ottoman-era bathing traditions.

The tour includes free time for lunch at the famous Abu Christo fish restaurant or a local hummusiya before we return to Tel Aviv by train.

This is more than just a tour—it's a complete cultural experience that combines comfortable transportation with deep historical immersion.
