I selected this tour for my 78 year old mother. She cannot walk for miles all day. So moving from one location to another via the tour bus with narration along the way was important to me. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and thorough of the areas and towns we passed through. When we visited the church of the annunciation and the Franciscan church of Joseph's home, my mom passed out fro the heat. The tour guide was very good in assisting and enlisting the help of fellow tourists. We were able to carry her in her wheel chair back to the AC bus and revive my mom. My mom took it easy and did not push herself too hard and was able to complete the tour without missing a beat due to the professional and compassionate care of our tour guide and our fellow tourists.

A viagem foi bem cansativa, porque saímos cedo de Jerusalém e fomos deixados em um ponto de encontro em Tel Aviv, para esperarmos o ônibus que nos levaria ao tour. Esse ponto de encontro era na rua. Então ficamos em pé bastante tempo, esperando - não menos do que 15 ou 20 minutos. Infelizmente, em função do Natal, não pudemos visitar o local bíblico onde teria ocorrido a multiplicação dos pães, pois estava fechado. Vimos à distância a igreja construída no local bíblico das bodas de Canaã. A visita às igrejas da Anunciação e de São José foi bastante interessante, assim como a visita a Cafarnaum, às margens do mar da Galiléia.

Frantastique tour très rapide la prise en charge et le guide était très bien et expliquer et montrer les sites comme prevu. On avait esperait se faire batiser dans le Jourdan mais on avait que 20 minutes entre des autres visites alors pas le temps. C'est mieux de faire le visite de Yardonit à la fin car on aurait eu le temps de le faire car on est rentrer vers 1630 à Tel Aviv!!!!!!!. On a demandé de pouvoir aller un moment en face à la plage en attandnt l'autre bus qui devait venir mais un couple dans le bus a refusé, et on a du attendre 1heure et 30 minutes dans le bus!on était pas content c'était très penible il faisiat chaud et la plage était en face et le guide avait dit que c'est ok ,on avait d'avance. Ensuite apres avoir se deplacer en bus 2 x fois on est revenu à l'hotel de depart ou on a demander de pouvoir attendre et était refusé. c'était 18 heure, et on a du faire le tour le Tel Aviv amener le gens à leurs hotels avant de partir pour Jerusalem...très decu.
