My family of 5 and I, from Canada, had arranged 3 tours with Sharona and Genesis Boutique Travel while we were in Israel over the Christmas season.
Our first tour was from Haifa to Nazareth and The Sea of Galilee and surrounding area (Capernaum, Tabgha, Jordan River). Our guide Liran was very knowledgeable, and informative of the historical biblical past, and the present situation in the area and the sites we visited. We highly recommend him.
Our second tour was from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea. We visited the Dead Sea (to float), Qumran, Ein Gedi, Masada. Our guide Hillel was also a wealth of information and very knowledgeable about the Dead Sea, the scrolls found there, the archeology of the area and also the historical significance of what occurred there 2000 years ago. It was amazing. At 78 Hillel is amazing.
Our third tour was from Eilat to Petra. Visiting this wonder of the ancient world was awesome, our guide Naser was very engaging, as humorous as the previous guides and very knowledgeable about Petra and the history and current situation in Jordan and especially of the archeology and historical significance of Petra. The carved monuments in Petra are a site to behold.
All of these tours were very well planned, with very capable, informative, engaging, and friendly guides with reliable transportation. We can’t thank Sharona enough for that experience and her management and expertise in arranging our tours. In addition she helped us out by providing transport from Haifa to Jerusalem on a day that the trains and buses weren’t running (shabbat).
