We were excited to get on a boat on the Sea of Galilee and the tour guide said it wasn't part of the tour even though the description said it was. Also, I've NEVER been on a tour where I've had to pay for parking or entrance into an area. We had to do both on this tour. A private tour where you pay extra should be better than that.”
