Ride in Tiberias

Too many stops in awful shops ... A pleasant guide until the moment he asks for a tip for him and the driver

The best day!

If you are a Christian, this is a must see! Jesus spendt most of his time in this area, performing a lot of miracles. The tour makes the Bible stories come alive. We were blessed with a most beautiful day and the weather was perfect! Our tour guide, Yousef, was very helpful and knowledgeable, I would highly recommend him.

Great tour, sites and guides!

Fantastic tour, our guide Avivi (sp) was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We had poor weather and some site closures due to it being new years day, but they found a way to get us to all of the great ones. Especially meaningful was mount of beatudes during a mass, and the church of the annunciation. Thank you! Also note they were EXTREMELY flexible, as I couldn't make my originally scheduled day, they were kind enough to offer on a subsequent day despite having no requirement to do so. :)
