Haifa guides

Arriving at Haifa by sea is an age-old tradition. This large port city in northern Israel is a major destination for cruise ships, making it the ideal base for visiting some of Christianity's most famous sites. But with thousands of passengers pouring off ships in high season, it pays to organize your tour before you arrive. Don't spend your time dockside - book a private Haifa tour and explore the holy sites of northern Israel in the company of a local guide. Ships have been coming and going here since the Bronze Age, so it's fair to say Haifa is a seafaring city. Disembark and climb straight into your guide's car and head for Nazareth to wander the stony streets and visit the Basilica of the Annunciation. Next, make the dramatic decent through the green hills of Galilee to Tabgha, where Jesus fed the crowds with loaves and fishes. Those with more time can visit Capernaum and the Mount of the Beatitudes, but whatever you do, don't miss seeing a full-immersion baptism at Yardenit.
