This is not the experience you are expecting!!! - The actual on site tour was a disgrace, the site tour guide said that an Old Testament figure was risen to heaven there and Jesus was just a prophet who went there as well. The 3 or 4 minutes actual viewing of the sacred site of Jesus baptism was done so in front of a guard carrying an automatic rifle which is apparently normal practice. We were then ushered away to a filthy part of the river where you could dip your feet in opposite a Jewish outpost with a Jewish flag flying in front of us. The feeling of religious peace was a far cry from this travesty. No time for reflection but a quick visit to view a secular church with expensive holy water for sale and a souvenir shop was readily available for about 10 minutes each. A very unsatisfying experience certainly not on the scale one would expect. This was not by or the fault of retaj who were not the transport company involved this was the venue itself. If you want to feel Jesus at this venue better for you to keep away!
