Peter's House - Our tour guide was Orion Gleizer, be sure to request him. He was wonderful, so imformative and personable. Lots of walking on this tour, be sure to bring water and comfortable shoes. Nazareth were we visited the church were Mary was born, was very dirty outside. This part of town very unkept. The Sea of Galilee was soo beautiful. By far my favorite stop.

The places we stopped and... - The places we stopped and Avi’s descriptions and explanation about Israel and the Holy sites were informative and inciteful. I very much enjoyed listening and talking to him. The only thing that was a letdown was the food at the restaurant where we stopped. It was very dissatisfying. I’m sure there are better choices that could make the experience much better. Thank-you Avi for your efforts and tips.
Shalom,

Nazareth, Sea of Galilee, Capernaumbisit - Amazing tour. Dorit Epstein, our guide was extremely friendly and very well educated in Israel’s history, and not just on the sites we visited. She also runs a very safe tour and genuinely cares about her group and accountability. Shalom Dorit!

Great places to visit but poor organisation - Book your trip with Tripadvisor in advance because it’s much cheaper than buying it in Israel. This is a great trip for religious and non religious people. I’m not sure why Tiberias was included in the advert because we didn’t go anywhere near it.
A pick up coach came to our hotel which was great but then we went somewhere outside Tel Aviv and waited 1.5 hours for the Tel Aviv coach to arrive! . Eventually a mini coach arrived but there were not enough seats for all of us. Both of the guides seem to be totally disorganised and arguing with each other. The mini coaches are really narrow with very small seats. We have ended up on a Spanish speaking coach although the guide did translate everything into English.
Lunch was served at a place called St Peters Fish. My husband is vegetarian and was told that he can pay 22 shekels for a buffet but when they collected the money they asked for 45. The menu was supposed to include dates and coffee for desert but they never arrived. When I asked about it someone brought 5 dates on a small plate for a table of 10 people! And the coffee was dishwater served in tiny plastic glasses, absolutely disgusting. The restaurant staff was very rude.
So, in conclusion great trip if you can avoid the small coaches and St Peters fish restaurant.

Good experience - The Guia was good, the places were incredible, but the lunch left a lot to be desired, very expensive and with no quality whatsoever.

Walk through Nazareth - At 3:30 in the afternoon on Wednesday everything was closed. You couldn't visit anything. They didn't let us enter the Christian churches because we had the “appropriate clothing.”

They were late and ended shortening many parts of the tour - If you are looking to spend a nice day with your tour starting on time, your tour guide providing a lot of insight about the places you visit and the supplier making all the stops that were promised on the tour description they sold to you, this is NOT the place to book.
Click tours is the tour supplier and they picked us up two hours late, and had to chop many parts of our experience because they were late. The tour guide avoided all explanations in order to be 10 minutes maximum in each stop.

Nazareth = souvenirshop - The description of the tour does not match the experience. We didn't spend two hours in nazareth actually we just went to the churches. Afterwards we have been stuffed into a souvenir shop, where we had to endure about 30 minutes of waiting. There was no chance to have a look at the city whilst the other guests were shopping (not as stated in the description, 2 hours). To the lunch: we was brought to a restaurant in the middle of nowhere next to a motorway where they have offered us a buffet. The price for it was twenty five euros without drinks by person and it looked just uninviting. Our tour guide himself was really nice and had a good knowledge. We do not blame him but still would no recommend this tour to anybody. Really disappointing as all we have seen of nazareth was the church, the workshop just next to it and the souvenirshop.
