Tamara did an amazing job talking about the Jewish ghetto and Tratevere. Very knowledgeable and great personality
Our guide Skyler was very knowledgeable and also personable. She even shared personal recommendations on where to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. My only regret was that we did not get back to the café at the Piazza Matteo, to enjoy a cappuccino and pastry and thank them for allowing us to us the lavatory before the tour began!

Our guide, Ivan, was exceptionally knowledgeable about the history of the Jewish people and their long settlement in Rome. He brought the social, economic, and political forces shaping their lives to life with clarity and sensitivity. His stories were at times deeply moving, conveying the horror and sadness of what the community endured. A truly informative and memorable tour.

We really enjoyed this tour. It was very informative. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had many stories. It was a big group but he tried his best to engage with everyone. I wish he would have taken us around the front of the Jewish Colosseum to get pictures. A few stops for pictures would have been nice. Other than that, would highly recommend this tour.

My friend and I enjoyed this enriching tour all thanks to our guide, Ivan.

It was everything I hoped for and more!! Highly recommended for people interested in history.

With had a nice walk around these 2 neighborhoods with about 10 other people and Skylar as our guide. Interesting neighborhoods with nice sites to see and some good stories. The guide was friendly and entertaining. Despite the saying Skylar Please Quit Rambling I could have continued listening to here rambles :) We ate afterwards at one of her restaurant recommendations and were happy to have the recommendation.
Great tour! Nicolette did a great job, very informative and fun. In addition to the tour, gave us insight into local attractions.
