Visiting the River Jordan and going into the River that our Lord Jesus was baptised in our high point. Our most disappointment though was the stress trying to find our Tour guide at the start of the tour. We were not met at the ship and spent almost an hour trying to find the company Bein Harim. The guide herself was excellent. But we would find it difficult to recommend Bein Harim to others.Expensive dirty lunch, no options. Shopping was at a “tourist store”, not the street market. Guide was too sarcastic, not funny.

Guide was a nice person but lacked any organizational skills, and very poor English. At one stop, she stated to meet at a certain time, then she was ten minutes late, so several tourists panicked and left the area. They had to be tracked down causing a half hour delay the rest of the day. Her very poor English caused a lack of understanding the historical details of sights we visited.Standing in the Capernaum Synagogue where the son God Jesus, taught the word of God.
