Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee Day Trip from Tel Aviv

Posted By : Jay_J
First, there were too many people on this tour. Second, it was too much time wasted at the gift shops.
Third, we were forced to eat in an overpriced restaurant, with assigned tables with the tour group, we were around 12-16 at each table. They offered a limited choice of food and awful service. We wasted 100 dollars for 4 people, (2 adults and 2 children) on food that we didn't even enjoy or eat.
Also, the tour guide talked about how well they treat Palestinians, and how they provide everything for them, like we were not seeing what was going on around us. Give me a break!

Skip this tour!!! I could not wait for it to be over.

This trip was the highlight of my time in Israel. Itamer was an amazing tour guide- his knowledge of history, Israel, and the Bible all fused to make this trip really memorable. All the sites we visited were amazing, there was ample time at each one but it didn’t feel like we were there for too long, and Itamer did a great job conducting the tour in multiple languages for different people. He truly cared about each person having a great experience. Visiting Jesus place where he grew up and did most of his ministry was truly incredible and the price for the tour was great. If you go, download what’s app because they will communicate with you that way for the pick up and drop off.

The whole trip was very rushed but satisfying. We went to the Church of the Annunciation, the Baptism in the Jordan River, the ruins of Capernaum and the Church of Five Loaves and Two Fishes. The tour guide explained clearly and patiently. The only complaint was that for lunch, we were taken to a restaurant to eat fish, only offers fried fish, kebab skewers and salads for USD25/set, and drinks are charged separately.

The tour led by Yoav Malachi was my favorite of my 15 day trip. He was informative and entertaining. I enjoyed hearing of the history while seeing the sights, and he talked while he drove to my the ride interesting. Such a beautiful, rich history in the area. So glad to be a part of this tour.

Great day trip. Very comprehensive to many important Biblical sites. Our guide/driver was very knowledgeable and made sure we had enough time to take in every attraction. Just a note about the Baptism site. We were told by the site when we got there that you had to pre-arrange for a priest/reverend, etc. We were lucky to be invited into a small group that had a priest, so it worked out, but that could have went another direction. Long day, but very worth the time and effort.

Roei Talmor our tour guide was passionate, knowledgeable and had such great enthusiasm! My mum felt unwell during the trip and Roei was very caring and took time out to make sure that my mum was ok. Thank you! The River Jordan is beautiful, me and my mum walked in it, submerging our hands, feet etc into the holy river. We visited the the City of Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee to name a few sites. What an amazing experience and memories created! I would highly recommend this tour.

First of all, it was an amazing tour, mainly because of the tourguide. But let's start from the beginning.
The pick-up was on time and the driving to the first stop was without problems. We were first brought to a parking spot where we then went into our final bus with Michael, our tourguide. Then, while driving to Nazareth, our first stop, he told us many facts about the places we passed and with this gave an introduction to the country. Furthermore, he spoke quite a good English and always named us "Ladies and Gentlemens". I would definitely not mind if someone does not do it, this was just the character of Michael. But he also answered our individual questions pretty well and talked with a lot of enthusiasm. His love for Israel could clearly be seen. Something else I liked quite much was how he presented facts: He always said according to (according to the Bible... according to the Catholics...) With this, he spoke very neutral. Maybe this was a reason why we liked the tour this much. It is not pretty much our taste to visite vaste and holy (catholics or orthodox) Churches, but with the comments of our guide it was presented interestingly.
Therefore, I would suggest this tour to you, also because you visit famous places like the city where Jesus was born and the Jordan river. But for sure, it also depends on your taste, whetever you like it or not. For sure, it depends on the tourguide, whetever these churches are presented dry or with emotions.

The tour completed the entire itinerary without any problems. The guide, always very attentive, showed great enthusiasm with the historical facts covered. The lunch break was good and the restaurant was prepared to receive a large number of tourists from different companies.

As soon as we arrived, they put us in a store for half an hour! Then we went to the Basilica of the Annunciation and spent less time there than in the store. In Tiberias we only went to eat at a very expensive restaurant for what was on the menu, which, by the way, was the only option. You couldn't order a single dish. We have not seen ANYTHING of Tiberias. The guide asked for your tip in dollars and even told us what he would like to receive. The other visiting points were normal, since the Spanish that the guide spoke was not well understood.
