About this experience

The area of Jesus' action is from the north to central Israel. It is between Nazareth and Dead Sea. By coming to Galilee, you will see the same views, walk over the same ground, and visit the places where Jesus was in his earthly life. Here, he found his closest disciples among the locals.
You will see the place of their village, the church on the site of the house, where Jesus was living and healing people, and the synagogue where he could preach. Mensa Christi: the table stone on which they eat, places visited by all four Popes visited Israel until today, and more significant places. Like Popes, many pilgrims are visiting these famous places to see where Christianity began and spread over the world.
I am very known experienced guide.
