Vanessa is a very nice guide, she is informative and enjoyed walking around Porto with her. She shared her knowledge about the Jewish community and where they used to live and how they interacted with the population of Porto

We had a great tour with Ricardo as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, with a fine sense of humor, and was able to answer our many questions about the (mostly tragic) history of the Jewish community in Porto. I recommend Ricardo and this tour to anyone interested in history in general and Jewish history in particular.

Ricardo was extremely well-versed in the history of the Jewish people in Portugal. His love of history was very evident. He easily moved around the area and kept an easy pace for our group.
