I picked this tour especially for my very religious mother. And I was quite happy with my choice. She had a smile on her face the whole day! To me, this was money well spent!
I am not going to sugarcoat the price tag. This tour is a little on the more expensive side. But this is Israel! I found most of the better tours to be more on the expensive side. Adding on a little extra to get it personalized and private, is a good move.
The tour was pleasant and hassle-free. They pick you up at your door! Comfortable van ride for a group of 4.
Have you tried getting a cab or Uber/GETT in Tel Aviv? Trust me, this is a bonus!
Our tour guide, Riki!!!
She was on time, pleasant, a wealth of knowledge on her country, on the Bible, and all the sites. She was enthusiastic and spoke excellent French! Yes, we picked the French tour. Doing that sometimes is a hit or miss. This one was a hit!
Nazareth and Galilee are far from Tel Aviv(3hrs). But we hardly felt it because she kept us entertained, she drove very well, and she stopped at regular intervals. The restaurant she took us to was excellent! So much food. So delicious food!
Jerusalem is the hot spot that all tourist go to. I don't see people enjoy Galilee as much. I highly recommend it however. A lot of important Christian sites are worth the visit. For example, you get to see the original entrance to Nazareth. Original! Or you can dip your feet in the water where Jesus walked on water! I think this tour amazed me much more than crowded Jerusalem! But that's just my take...
All in all, we really enjoyed our time in Nazareth, Galilee, and Tiberias. I would not think twice about booking this tour for a small group.
My only advice for the Bein Harim Tour Company is to simply include the small entrance fees in the price. I don't feel it's necessary to have your tourists remember to carry cash because of $2 to $10 fees. Make it all inclusive.
