The Experience

Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee day trip from Tel Aviv covers the New Testament sites across Israel's northern regions in a single outing. You're picked up from your hotel and travel across the coastal plains to Nazareth, where the Basilica of the Annunciation and Church of St. Joseph anchor the city's biblical history. From there, the route heads northeast to the Sea of Galilee, passing through Kfar Cana before reaching Capernaum—the site where Jesus taught and performed miracles—and the Church of the Multiplication, which commemorates the feeding of the five thousand.

The day includes time along the shore of the Sea of Galilee itself, then moves to the Baptism site on the Jordan River and a view of Mt. Tabor, where the Transfiguration is said to have taken place. A stop in Tiberias rounds out the route. Your professional guide speaks English, Spanish, French or German depending on which option you choose, and all entrance fees are covered. The vehicle is air-conditioned, and the tour is designed for all fitness levels, though comfortable walking shoes and water are recommended. If you want to be baptized with a priest at the Yardenit site, the operator can arrange this in advance; the estimated time there is 15:30–16:15.

Dress code matters here: knees and shoulders must be covered for both men and women when entering places of worship. Shorts are not permitted, and failure to comply risks refused entry. The tour runs 10 hours total and returns you to your hotel by late afternoon. Food and drinks are not included, nor are gratuities.
