Sea of Galilee

The Sea of Galilee is where landscape and scripture meet. Over two unhurried days, shaped around your interests, we circle the lake: breathtaking hilltop views, translucent biblical waters you can wade into, black-basalt synagogues where the ancient world still stands, and picturesque churches glowing with colorful frescoes and mosaics. Along the way I bring to life the Second Aliyah pioneers who dreamed a country into being, and we make time for the good things too: local wine, Galilean food, and a restful overnight in the hills. In spring we might even spot a wild mandrake, Harry Potter's 'screaming' plant, blooming purple in the fields. Part pilgrimage, part landscape, part living history, all tailored to you.

Two days, tailored to you. English or Hebrew. Private.
