    Amazing tour

    An amazing tour with Eitan. What a historian! He was enthusiastic about the history he covered, and genuinely seemed to enjoy my delight in the sights. We stopped at a stunning stoneware type shop, where the items are hand painted, and we also visited with a craftsman who carves olive tree wood (see photos). The craftsman explained his process, and I would love to visit both of those shops in person. But the best part by far was viewing the place where Christ was crucified, died, and was buried. Holy ground, and just humbling to visit even remotely. I loved this tour, learned a lot, and will rebook it once I've had a chance to study some of the history Eitan gave me. There was so much to see I'll need to do the tour again to take it all in! Great host, great tour. I recommend!
