Additional Information

This Nazareth and Galilee tour is for cruise ship passengers docking in Haifa. After disembarking and meeting your guide you’ll be driven to Jesus’ childhood home, Nazareth. There you will visit the Church of the Annunciation and tour the grottos under St. Joseph’s Church. The tour leaves Nazareth and passes Mary’s Well, en route to the Mount of Beatitudes. On the way, you’ll go through Kfar Kanna (Cana). Tour the church built on the Mount of Beatitudes and take in the stunning views of the Sea of Galilee below. Next, the tour takes you to Tabgha, the site of the Church of the Loaves and Fish where Jesus fed the masses. Continue to Kfar Nachum (Capernaum) which features prominently in the First Testament. The tour takes a lunch break at a local restaurant before continuing to Yardenit. This traditional baptismal site on the River Jordan is visited by Christians from across the globe. If we have time, you can get baptized at Yardenit before we return to Haifa and your cruise ship.

First Class response to a difficult situation. Totally Recommended - We were unfortunate enough to be in Israel when the Hamas attack took place. We had just boarded our BeinHarim Tour bus and were headed for our first stop when the guide received the telephone call and we had to abandon the tour and be taken back to our Cruise Ship. BeinHarim were top class throughout. They got us back safely and then, as we had booked direct through them, processed full refunds for us for both this tour and the one we had booked two days later to Jerusalem from Ashdod. The refunds were back on my card within 3 days. I will certainly use BeinHarim again when I return to Israel to complete the tours I was unable to take this time around. First Class Customer Service

Moment of clarity - Swimming in the river Jordan was a high light for me also visiting all the places that Jesus performed his miracles was a seminal moment for me, it give me great pause as I reflected on where I was and what was before my eyes. Jonathan our tour guide he was very knowledgeable, accommodating & multi-lingual, he was patient with our friend who is not very mobile but this trip meant so much to her and he helped her fulfill her dream. So a big Kudos to him. Will definitely recommend this tour to anyone

Too Many People on the Tour - Our tour ended up wasting an entire hour by turning the bus around to get a few people who were supposed to be meeting us by the ship, but never showed up! A few minutes of "courtesy waiting is ok and expected when a cruise ship unloads passengers but the fact that we turned around, yet never got the people wasted everyones time! We also spent a lots of time in a gift shop... Not needed. The visit to Yardenit ended up being very long as several people ended up getting babtized in the Jordan river. The worst of the tour was that we went to visit a "kibbuts" to have lunch. The price was 25euros per person and not even anything special. We did not eat. Instead, waited again for other people. A long day with lots of walking and waiting around. You will see many holy sites, but I think a mini bus tour option would be better. Too many people on the tour.

Beware of lunch. - This trip was super informative and our guide Thelma was amazing. The only complaint noted is that when I booked the excursions it said lunch wasn’t included with no other inform proved. I assumed we would be in an area where we would have our own time to eat (given it was an 8hr excursion). Instead, we were all taken to a reception hall and were forced to purchase a meal at 25 euro per head. There was no other options as you were out in the middle of nowhere. This should definitely have been disclosed up front as me and my family of 4 had budgeted half that price for lunch. Not cool at all and felt like a scam.
