Really interesting to see the way Nazareth village was at the time of Jesus. The village is based on a farm that was in use in the first century and likely was visited by Jesus himself (being around 500m from where he allegedly lived). Be aware you should book ahead of time and the tours are guided and infrequent, do not simply turn up or you could be waiting a long time for the next available tour. The "village" is a set of actors, that are typically volunteers. We found the tour guide was preaching about Christ a bit more than we'd like, but this the village is run by a Christian organisation so we probably shouldn't have been surprised by this.

We were so lucky to go to the Nazareth village. We had a hard time finding it because it is on the second floor of the building where the YMCA is located. They don’t have many signs so make sure to go up to the second floor of the building. We were lucky because the girl at the front desk helped us join a tour group because we didn’t have a reservation. Be sure to schedule a tour before you go. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable by telling good stories. It’s amazing that Jesus Christ may have very well known about the particular vineyard that was located on those grounds.

What a gem! Go on a guided tour, they explain every aspect of the life of Christ to you. People even get dressed up and reenact the things that were normal back then - weaving, carpentry, herding, making food. So cool. Our guide sang to us in the makeshift synagogue. His voice was amazing. He was entertaining and so nice. They feed you afterwards and the food is authentic and original. Fresh and takes you way back in the day. Even their cutlery was authentic. Some dishes you had to drink out of a bowl. It is what Christ would have chomped on. Highly recommended to go here.

Amazing site to visit on your pilgrimage trip to Israel. This village is designed as a town to imitate the way life was during Jesus time. People are dressed in traditional clothing and engage in activities such as turning wool into threads, making old farming tools (using old tools), planting and growing lettuces and cabbage, and much more. It will really transport you 2000 years back. The guides are professional and amazing. A little hard for people with disabilities and it's not wheelchair accessible.

Il Nazareth village è bello, ben costruito e con interessanti informazioni non solo legate alla religione ma all'antica storia del paese, delle sue tradizioni e delle sue origini antiche. L'organizzazione in se potrebbe essere più splendida, apertura alle 9 ma non ci sono le guide... allora? perché apri alle 9? siamo dovuti andare alla basilica per poi tornare due orette più tardi. Vado sul loro sito per curiosità;L'ingresso al villaggio di Nazareth è solo con visita guidata, I gruppi devono pre-prenotare un tour noi siamo rientrati in quelli che sono i gruppi individuali, una guida che ha parlato in Italiano e in Francese per il nostro misero e ristretto gruppo formato da sei persone. La storia del villaggio di Nazareth risale presumibilmente al tempo di Gesù. Gli ampi scavi archeologici dimostrano che questo sito straordinariamente preservato ospita una pressa di oltre 2000 anni tagliata nella roccia. I resti di un vigneto, torri di avvistamento, terrazze, sistema di irrigazione alimentato a molle e cave di pietra raccontano la storia di un'area agricola in attività, appena fuori dal vecchio Nazareth originale.Dopo una narrazione della storia e dei ritrovamenti, usciamo nel villaggio in cui si trovano personaggi storicamente addobbati e intenti in quelli che erano i vecchi mestieri e le antiche usanze. E' come entrare in un villaggio antico tramite una "porta del tempo", un tuffo nel passato circondati da grattacieli moderni, un contrasto architettonico veramente molto ricco di fascino e mistero.

Nazareth Village is a well constructed replica of village life in the time of Jesus at the Sea of Galilee. A guide takes groups of people through the village to experience life as it was. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all kinds of questions. We saw a replica of Jesus’s tomb with a circular rock at the entrance, how a wine press worked, how they used to press olives, how they worked with wood and lots more. This guided tour through history is well worth your time.
