Roza our guide was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable. She provided us with a detailed history and showed us places around Porto that we would never have found by ourselves. Her warm and friendly personality made the hours together stand out as a memorable stay in Porto. Highly recommend Roza for Jewish Porto tour!!
Roza is a great guide. Unfortunately because of the war with hamas, she was not allowed to take us to the synagogue or museum. Instead, she brought the shamas from the synagogue to our hotel to talk about current events in porto. We improvised, she and he met us and talked over coffee for over an hour before going out. She came with notes, pictures, a calendar from the synagogue, and an extensive history. She also took is to the lello bookstore (not to be missed!), and was very helpful. The 3 hours flew past very quickly, and she offered to do more if we had the time! I cannot recommend her highly enough!
If we could give Rosa 10 stars we would. She is a true professional, historian, excellent guide, and really enhanced our experience of Porto. My wife and I learned a lot, which is exactly what we wanted. Rosa took us to the places we needed to see and experience, unique places that other guides would likely have passed for ease. Unfortunately the synagogue was closed due to Hamas attacks in Israel and the Israeli Embassy directing temporary closure, however Rosa arranged for an important person from the synagogue to meet us at the end of the tour at our hotel so he could explain additional history. It was a tour we will never forget.
Picked up from our hotel and taken by car to sites ancient and modern, no aspect of Porto's Jewish past or present was missed out. Roza is knowledgable and a pleasure to tour Jewish Porto with. Even some 'locked doors' were opened with her magic touch.
Rosa was fabulous as a guide on this tour. She was knowledgeable about the history of the Jews in Porto and took us to all three of the areas where they once lived. It was easy to see the history as she talked us through the experience. I highly recommend this tour.
