We will be sailing into port on the Celestyal Crystal ship in the early morning of Christmas Eve and departing late afternoon Christmas Day. I have tentatively arranged with Guided Tours Israel (guidedtoursisrael.com) for a small group excursion to Jerusalem and Bethlehem for the 24th; and to the Sea of Galilee and Nazareth on Christmas Day. I have extensively researched this company and they get very high marks - both on this website and other venues. Their tours are for very small groups - 6 to 16 people, a much preferred situation than going with a couple of hundred people on multiple buses. Following is the information for the tours The minimum participation level is for 6 people and I am looking for folks who may want to join my party of 3.
