I wont give this tour a 5 rating only because I didnt realize that wed be spending our time visiting a lot of Catholic churches that were built on top of historical sites. For some people thats exactly what they want but I didnt come to Israel to visit Catholic churches so maybe that should be made a little more clear in the tour information. Unfortunately Ive discovered that many of the tours are like that. Also, I would have also liked to have had a few moments in some of the more significant sites just to reflect a little bit on that significance but time constraints didnt allow for it. Beyond those two things our guide was excellent and had a wealth of knowledge and experience. I learned a great deal about the history of the various areas we visited. Overall it was a very good tour.
Our guide Ido was both friendly and knowledgeable. He also needed to talk in Spanish as well as English as one couple was from Colombia. We mentioned the areas we were interested in and he organised the tour to meet our needs. Having a smaller tour vehicle allowed us to drive to the top of Mt Tabor making it easier. Driving to Nazareth Ido was able to give us first hand knowledge as his parents came from near the Jordan river. Stopping for lunch at the Abu Khaled restaurant was a pleasant surprise as the food was delicious and keenly priced. The local attractions of the church of annunciation and Joseph the carpenter were interesting. Driving to the Galilee was special as visiting Tagbha and Capernaum the highlight. Peters house was facinating and we could stroll beside the sea of Galilee. The trip home to Tel Aviv was lengthy due to traffic issues but Ido was up to the job. We would definately recommend this trip to others.
