Amazing guide, amazing country
Daniel is super knowledgeable, smart, and open minded guide happy to share everything you want to know about Northern Israel, Jesus’s story, and anything else really you’d like to ask about. The sites are stunning, rich in culture, and definitely worth the trip!

Fantastic tour!
Fantastic tour with Elad. He is so knowledgeable about the history of the places and the culture. I saw a number of churches in the area where Jesus walked.

Favorite tour of my life
Hi, we had a great experience working with Daniel and going on the tour led by Eli. Eli was very knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. He also was our driver. I learned a ton of facts about Israeli history, current events and demographics, about things from water desalination projects to the efforts of local Christians to revive the endangered language of Aramaic, spoken by Jesus. We saw numerous churches and archaeological sites. It was inspiring and my favorite tour in my life.

In the Footsteps of Jesus - Private Tour of Nazareth & the Sea of Galilee: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jerusalem.
How much does In the Footsteps of Jesus - Private Tour of Nazareth & the Sea of Galilee cost?
+
Prices start at $1,075 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jerusalem usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does In the Footsteps of Jesus - Private Tour of Nazareth & the Sea of Galilee take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jerusalem is not rushed.
Is In the Footsteps of Jesus - Private Tour of Nazareth & the Sea of Galilee worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jerusalem, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule In the Footsteps of Jesus - Private Tour of Nazareth & the Sea of Galilee?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is In the Footsteps of Jesus - Private Tour of Nazareth & the Sea of Galilee suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book In the Footsteps of Jesus - Private Tour of Nazareth & the Sea of Galilee?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jerusalem can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jerusalem and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does In the Footsteps of Jesus - Private Tour of Nazareth & the Sea of Galilee start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jerusalem within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jerusalem?
+
On Outty we rank every Jerusalem experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jerusalem Boutique Tour from Tel Aviv, Travel to Bethlehem Half Day Guided Tour from Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Dead Sea Day Tour From Jerusalem. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jerusalem?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jerusalem?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in In the Footsteps of Jesus - Private Tour of Nazareth & the Sea of Galilee?
+
Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; On-board WiFi; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

What languages is In the Footsteps of Jesus - Private Tour of Nazareth & the Sea of Galilee offered in?
+
