“Footsteps of Jesus in Galilee - This was the first day trip back to Galilee from Jerusalem for our guide Omer Geva. Picked up on time, then added more guests in Tel Aviv, then on to our first stop Nazareth, Jesus’ birthplace, followed by his first miracle site the wedding feast at Kana. We had a great stop in Capernaum then we stopped by the Mount of the Beatitudes where Jesus multiplied the bread and fish. The day finished with a stop at the Jordan River where it is said Jesus might have been baptized. Omer’s passion for the sense of place and for the Biblical story was evident all day and he bent over backwards to meet everyone’s needs. I would describe him as a natural teacher and a guide who could ‘read the room’ perfectly. Thank you so much.” - Reviewed on 2024-06-01
