The tour lasts approximately ten to twelve hours.

Between Rachel the poet and Naomi Shemer, on the banks of the Sea of Galilee. Both were nourished by the same landscape, both loved the area forever. Both are buried next to each other, in front of the same beloved view.
We will start the story at Moshava Yavniel. What about the colony and Naomi Shemer’s father?
We will continue east along the ridge line to the wonderful view that is always beautiful and always good for the soul. A wonderful panoramic view all around , including Golan Heights, all around Sea of Galilee etc. 
Next station will be the Kinneret “courtyard”. Here was the maiden farm. Here Rachel experienced the love of the land.
