Booking was very easy. Calling them for the meeting place was horrendous. Meeting instructions not right and phone number from customer service was not correct. They hang up on us. It it was not for the guide who call me and gave instructions to the taxi driver, we would have lost the tour
Very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Learned a lot about the history of Italy, Rome and the Jewish community there.
Great historical walking tour with Alethea. Everyone in our small group ofc8 gained some tremendous insights regarding the Jewish population in Rome through the ages. The tour through Trastevere was nice too, but the jewishvhistoryvtour could've been a stand alone tour. Thank you for the experiences!
Our tour guide was amazing!! Our only issue was that the your left without us. The tour company never added us to our guide’s list. Although we arrived on time the others had arrived early and she didn’t know to wait for us. We caught up to them and figured out where they were.
Take this tour if you want to learn about the long Jewish history in Rome. An excellent tour that informs and connects you to difficult moments in Jewish-Roman history.
Very interesting tour with an exciting guide. We learnt many historical details about the Ghetto. Thank you, Ben.
Ben, our guide, was a deep well of history and a great story teller. We learned so much on this tour. The Jewish ghetto is rich with history, and on this walking tour, Ben gave us information that honored the history but wasn’t dull and dry. He was witty and handled every question people had with skill.
Fantastic tour! Our guide Alethia was so knowledgeable and informative and made this tour extremely interesting. I would highly recommend!
Alithia was knowledgeable in history and art. She was easy to understand. She was polite and knew wealth of information. She alao gave recommendations when requested.
Covers a lot of ground for a wonderful overview of two areas in Roma -the Jewish Square and Trastevere. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We did this tour and then circled back around to check out the synagogue ourselves since this tour does not go inside. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed this tour! Our guide, Alethea, was extremely knowledgeable about each neighborhood and street we walked through. Without her expertise, we would have missed the significance behind several signs and shops in the Jewish Ghetto. Highly recommend! Go back to “bakery” after the tour for the ricotta and cherry pie!
I don’t do tours. Not my thing. But this tour changed everything. Guido was so affable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, I was sad when it was over. Problem is, it raises the bar for any other tour. We’re going to the Coliseum tomorrow with a different outfit, I don’t see how it can compare.
Ben was an incredible tour guide with so much knowledge of the area. I think this tour is amazing to do if you feel you've done lots in Rome and don't think there is much more to know. It takes you through the history of the Jewish Ghetto and it's history and Trastevere (trendy and historical) with recommendations for and against restaurants, which I'd argue are equally as important. Best walking tour I've done, and I've done tones!
Ben is a friendly, respectful guide with a great sense of humour and a clear love of Roman history and culture. It was such a joy learning so much about the city's intimate and complicated relationship with its Jewish community as well as some eye-opening insights about a few key historical figures who have played a role in its story - popes, emperors, and dictators, etc. A memorable introduction to a rare jewel of the eternal city. Thank you again!
We had such a great time on this tour with Ben. His knowledge was comprehensive and the tour was very enjoyable. I highly recommend.
Alicia was charming, informative and friendly. The tour was interesting and sensitive to the Jewish people. Travestere was also fun - enjoyed exploring the alleyways. Good advice on where to eat and buy gelato!
This was a really engaging and informative tour. Ben was highly knowledgeable and personable. I really enjoyed touring both neighbourhoods. It’s very well worthwhile.
This was a terrific tour. We were lucky to have alethea to ourselves and she gave us a informative and fascinating historical tour of the Jewish ghetto both on both sides of the river. She told fascinating stories about the history of the Jewish people in Rome from Roman times all the way up to almost present day. We visited historical sites including the Magnificent Temple located just outside the Jewish quarter. I would absolutely recommend this tour and our guide.
Ben, our guide, knew all the ins and outs of the ghetto and Trastevere. He was amazingly knowledgeable, told us really interesting facts, stopped to show us little nooks and crannies, and was all around terrific. It was an A+ tour.
