Full description

Enjoy a day exploring some of the most significant holy sites in Israel on an excursion by bus from Jerusalem. The guided tour sets out from the city early in the morning and drives along the scenic coast via Tel Aviv and the plain of Armageddon to Nazareth.

Arrive in Nazareth and visit St. Joseph’s Church and the Church of the Annunciation. The largest Roman Catholic church in the Middle East, the Church of the Annunciation is, according to tradition, the scene of the annunciation of the Virgin Mary. 

Continue onwards via Kafr Kanna to view the Mount of Beatitudes and Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fish at Tabgha. Set on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, you will stop to view the sea, and continue to the nearby ruins of the ancient synagogue of Capernaum.

Visit Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, considered one of the 4 Holy Cities of Judaism, along with Jerusalem, Hebron, and Safed. Drive to the Jordan River at Yardenit, where guests are invited to receive an optional baptismal service.

Return to Jerusalem via a scenic route that takes in views of Mt. Tabor, the site of the transfiguration.

Orion is a wonderful guide, always smiling and professional. The lunch for 24€ per person wasn’t good and it was quite expensive because we had it at the late afternoon and as we were starving we ate a lot of snacks before and we almost payed for nothing.

Orion and Jacob were incredible! They made Israel come to life with their knowledge and love for the area. They were patient with the group and made all of us feel like we were in Ancient times. Be aware that if you’re planning to get baptized the tour doesn’t include ANYTHING except take you to the facilities. Meaning you’ll have to find your own pastor/church if you want to go in the waters.
