Wow this is a must tour for any first time visitor. From the minute you walk off the ship, to the minute you return, it was breath taking. Our driver and tour guide knew how to get the most out of the day. These kinds of tour adventures are so dependent on one thing..YOUR GUIDE! Ours was RYAN... he was fantastic. Answered every question and was a wealth of knowledge. He maxamized the time spent at all of the top locations, and even tossed in a great local stop for a bite to eat. Cant thank him enough for making the tour so fantastic.
We were so fortunate to have RYAN on both the Haifa and Jerusalem tours... ask for him if given the chance.

This was an excellent tour that allowed for stops at the significant sites, ie. River Jordan.

very nice tour and english speaking guide

The guide passed himself off as an archeology grad who is a history buff. He pretended to be knowledgeable about everything but his knowledge of Biblical references to places was really lacking. Pretended, e.g., to translate Latin but didn't have a clue.

Itinerary was fine but to have someone pass himself off as knowledgeable when he was not was painful. It was have been more tolerable if he hadn't felt that he needed to talk incessantly.

Driver was 38 minutes late, our guide, Mina, said it was due to traffic, then later on said there was hardly any traffic today since most Jewish people dont drive on Saturday.

Mina said if we got separated, or wanted to shop, at 1st site to meet outside at 10:15am. I got separated, waited at the rally point...no group. By 10:30, Im panicked, thinking they left without me, so I hesitantly went back in to see if maybe they were looking for me. Mina was still yapping about something and had no idea I was missing. When everyone else in the group asked where I was, I said I was waiting at the rally point, like Mina said...who stared at me like she had no idea what I was talking about.

Lunch was supposed to be at 1pm. Lunch was at 2:38pm. I was ready to vomit by this time as I was so hungry. We barely had time to eat before we were ushered out of there to the next site. Some of the group asked to go take pictures and she told them to meet at a location by x time. Then she looked at me I clearly wasnt going anywhere and asked me if I understood and repeated her edict.
Due to her poor planning, and love of her own voice, we were unable to visit the last site on our itinerary. So she had the bright idea to take us somewhere not on the itinerary - which was closed to tourists when we got there. She then led us on a DARK tour of the outside of the property and gave people in the front row another impromptu tour of Haifa on the way back to the port.

The trip was exhaustingly longer than it should have been. Skip this tour.

A well run tour. Great guide.

Our trip through Viator was everything we could wish. We had a small group -16. We had an amazing, energetic, lovely guide -Abbey. We had a place of extraordinary meaning in Gallilee and Nazareth that touched our hearts and souls so that we reminisce almost daily about our experience since our return. We love the place of Jesus work in Galilee. The scenes from the scriptures come allive! Our guide was so gracious in making our excurision meaningful for us. She also loved her country of Israel and her people.

This tour was amazing!

We had a great day, our tour guide Micky was excellent even to the point of baking the bus a cake, this was the second tour our group had with Micky. We had 16 peaple on our tour whih was a good number, people booking on the cruise boat said their bus of 50 were too many, waiting for everybody to get on and off, it appears we went to more plaes than the organised tours off the cruise boat, maybe due to the smaller numbers. It is a long day but well worth it and if you are going to book this tour make sure you ask for Micky as your tour guide.

Abbey again was our guide
The trip to Haifa was also excellent, very organized
very impressive
make sure to have a good camera--walking comfortable shoes
There is so much to see
we felt safe in Israel and that's so important when travelling abroad
