Private Tour: Nazareth, Tiberias and Sea of Galilee Day Trip from Jerusalem
1 day
Riservato
Giornata intera
Da sapere su questa attività
Leave your centrally located Jerusalem hotel or prearranged location in a comfortable private vehicle and drive north to Nazareth, Jesus’ childhood home, in the Galilean hills. As you travel, chat to your guide about tailoring your itinerary to your interests, perhaps to spend more time at a particular site than another.
Arrive in Nazareth and head to the old quarter as you learn how the town became a bastion of Christianity as the story of Jesus spread, resulting in several churches being built in its center.
Decide on the sites you are keen to visit, perhaps focusing first on the Church of the Annunciation, built where the Virgin Mary was told of Jesus’ forthcoming birth by the Angel Gabriel. Then, visit the other nearby religious landmarks that interest you, such as the Church of St Joseph, said to stand on the site of Joseph’s carpentry workshop.
Next, continue to Kfar Kana, the town where Jesus is said to have turned water into wine at a wedding. Stop for photos at the Church of the Multiplication, the reputed site of the miracle, and then travel on to the Sea of Galilee.
Stop in Tiberias and board a boat for a short trip on the lake, the scene of many biblical tales. As you cruise around the shores, hear the story of how Jesus walked on the waters.
From here, head for Capernaum, where a set of ruins and churches mark the believed home of St Peter and a synagogue where Jesus taught. Inspect the relics and view the nearby Church of the Loaves and Fishes, held to mark the location where Jesus fed the 5,000.
Drive on to Yardenit, where the Sea of Galilee flows into the Jordan River, and Christian pilgrims come to be baptized. Take in the scenes here and, if you want to be baptised (own expense), talk to your guide to see if it can be arranged during your stop.
Your tour then ends with a hotel drop-off back in Jerusalem.
Please note: The order of activities as described above may be subject to change on the day of your tour

We did not take the package tour, but instead, with our driver, designed a customized tour that was highly satisfactory. Our guide was knowledgable,and flexible.
We took the private tour with Itamar, and he was excellent! He was very warm and engaging. He took the time to learn about what was important to us and adapted the tour to our needs. We had a member of our group that was struggling with the walking and heat. He quickly noticed this and again made adjustments for our comfort. We are so fortunate to have ended up with Itamar. He really enhanced our experience and made this trip even more meaningful and special.
What we saw was great, but we didn't do everything that was on the itinerary. We were excited to get on a boat on the Sea of Galilee and the tour guide said it wasn't part of the tour even though the description said it was. Also, I've NEVER been on a tour where I've had to pay for parking or entrance into an area. We had to do both on this tour. A private tour where you pay extra should be better than that.
Our tour was life changing!!! My family would go back to Israel tomorrow, the BEST trip EVER!!! Private tours are the way to go.
