A huge dissapointment. - This tour left a lot to be desired. It is a very, very long trip - about 14 hours as there is always traffic going back into Tel Aviv. You spend maybe 3-4 hours total off the bus, the rest is travel. Nazareth was just a modern church, not very impressive. You do not get to stroll around the town but instead are taken to a "Christian" store where you know that it is a tourist trap as the prices are in dollars instead of shekels! The store is supposed to be the bathroom stop but it is just another overpriced scam. Such a waste of time. The Jordan River is another shopping experience where most of it is a huge tourist store. You get to see a small portion of the dirty river and those that want to be "baptized" get to spend a ton of money buying a robe and being allowed into the river! That's scam #2. The Sea of Galilee is just that, a short stop to view the lake. In short you are better off going somewhere else.
