On our Nazareth and Highlights of the Galilee Tour, you will get to know Israel’s beautiful north and visit some of the most significant Christian sites. Breathtaking views of the Galilee will surround you as you absorb the culture and history of Israel’s riveting north. You will start your fully guided tour in Nazareth, Jesus’s childhood home and the home of the largest population of Arabs in Israel. You will tour the remarkable Basilica of Annunciation and savor the quaint stone streets of Nazareth’s old city. You will pass through Nazareth’s market, where you’ll rub shoulders with locals and buy traditional Arabic produce and other trinkets characteristic of the region.

The Nazareth and Highlights of the Galilee Tour then continues along the Sea of Galilee’s coast, passing Cana, the magical site where Jesus turned water into wine. You will arrive at the foot of the Mount of Beatitudes, where you’ll have a guided tour of Capernaum, the center of Christ’s ministry. Jesus lived in Capernaum during an important period of his life when he preached and taught at the Galilean Ministry and executed many miracles. You’ll visit the Church of Multiplication on the western shores of the Galilee, where Jesus performed the multiplication of loaves and fish. The last stop on your tour will be to the Yardenit Baptismal Site on the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus is believed to have been baptized. The site attracts thousands of pilgrims every year, coming to dip themselves in the same waters that Jesus once immersed himself in. The significance of these sites is unparalleled and they’re truly worth experiencing to bring history and religion to life.

Our Nazareth and Highlights of the Galilee Tour will bring to life the stories from the bible, right before your very eyes.
