Our tour with Sharif was absolutely unforgettable! He took us from Nazareth to the Sea of Galilee, sharing so much history and insight along the way — you can truly tell he’s passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about every site. The highlight of our day was getting baptized in the Jordan River, and Sharif went above and beyond to make that experience meaningful and smooth for us. He was patient, kind, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. I can’t recommend him enough — if you’re visiting the Holy Land, make sure you tour with Sharif!

I am a first time user of viator and its app. On may 28 I had a paid and confirmed trip 1650425259 to Galilee, Israel. I was told on may 30 by viator that I had cancelled the trip but I did not cancel the trip but failed to follow through and generate my tickets and I believe the system perceived that as a traveler canceling their ticket. I then rebooked the Galilee trip that same day and viator cancelled that trip I believe. I’m just writing to confirm that both of my bookings $149 to Galilee for $298 are refunded please. Thanks. Kevin. Please don’t post this comment as I’m sure the trip would have been just fine. I just want to assure the refunds and as I’m on travel I can’t easily contact my credit card company to talk with them.

Max did great as a guide and our driver was safe/professional. The guide, Max was sensitive to my wife's disabilities. Max was multilingual too, knowing both Spanish and Russian, as do I. This was helpful, as I didn't need to translate to Spanish for my wife. He could speak directly with her. The tour was great also because I preferred to relax and let someone else drive for a day. We felt safe and cared for as well, given the current conflict situation. The tour was timely, fun, and educational. It was a pleasure to experience what Israel's northern Galilee region had to offer. We came to Israel to volunteer, as well as for sightseeing. We came to stand with Israel in this difficult time, and felt safe and fulfilled in doing so.

This was the first day trip back to Galilee from Jerusalem for our guide Omer Geva. Picked up on time, then added more guests in Tel Aviv, then on to our first stop Nazareth, Jesus' birthplace, followed by his first miracle site the wedding feast at Kana. We had a great stop in Capernaum then we stopped by the Mount of the Beatitudes where Jesus multiplied the bread and fish. The day finished with a stop at the Jordan River where it is said Jesus might have been baptized. Omer's passion for the sense of place and for the Biblical story was evident all day and he bent over backwards to meet everyone's needs. I would describe him as a natural teacher and a guide who could 'read the room' perfectly. Thank you so much.

We went with Tourist Israel for the Christian Galilee tour to Nazareth and Galilee, in the delightful company of Mansoor who pitched double duty as guide and driver, handling both duties admirably. Despite the early start (6am from the Waldorf Astoria!) and scorching sun, the day was well-paced and made for fun learning about the places we saw. Big thanks to Mansoor who took very good care of us; will not be forgetting his Galilee puns anytime soon.

Tourist Israel (agent- Ludo) helped me book this tour for 12 people. Ludo is wonderful to work with. I can’t say nothing but good regarding her and company. Our guide/Driver was Firas Mansour. He was wonderful. We want him for all of our tours.. 😂 He was So knowledgeable and gave us the best experience we could ever ask for. He has a great personality and was so patient and kind to us. He has a great passion for his job and people and it shows. He is such a professional and asset to Tourist Israel. Thank you Ludo and Thank you Firas for a vacation to remember!!!
