The Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke describe how ordinary fishermen, Simon, Andrew, John, and James were recruited by Jesus here. Many of Jesus' miracles were performed on these waters, including walking on water, miraculous catching of fish, calming the storm, and feeding the multitude in nearby Tabgha, as well as the Sermon on the Mount. It is also here that John recounts the third appearance of Christ following his death and resurrection.

This basilica and UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the holy Nativity Grotto, considered to be the cave in which Jesus was born and was laid in a manger. As the oldest continuously visited church in Christianity, the Church features the Altar of the Nativity, placed above the 14-point silver star marking the cave where Mary gave birth.

This is where he cleansed the temple of merchants and gamblers and years later shared the Last Supper with his apostles.

Amazing trip - above expectations   3 , NSW, Australia, Sep 2017
Very happy with our Tour guide - Tal Segal. Driver also, coach and constant water supply in the heat. Hotels and food very good. Was indeed a good tour of The Holy Land. Felt very safe during our time there and loved Jerusalem.

Global was not prompt with information. Received my paperwork 10 days before departure to find 'shoulders may offend" ...read more and later from another source ' knees may offend'. Very late to have to go out and find 'sleeves' before departure. Feeling the heat, I do not own sleeves. This information should have been given with deposit - not on top of departure. No service from Global at all. Not one phone call whatsoever.

(MD Global Journeys - Ouch! We don't get reviews like this very often! We've taken your comments onboard. We are however only able to courier your travel documents once when we actually receive them from Globus ourselves - and then we double check them for you. Glad you enjoyed your trip and happy future travels!)
9 Day Journey Through The Holy Land (Globus) 3 , NSW, Australia, Sep 2016
In a large touring busload, name tags would seem to us to be an essential item. We did appreciate the flexible approach of our tour guide, Tal, & minor changes he adopted to take advantage of reduced travel & early arrival at sites to beat crowds.
