Nice tour and our guide... - Nice tour and our guide was super friendly and nice. There were four of us on the tour, so we were able to spend more time where we wanted and Gil was very knowledgeable about the sites. The highlight of the tour was being able to put our feet in both the Jordan River and the Sea of Galilee!
