Our Jewish tour of Porto was fantastic and so informative. Our guide Ricardo was so wonderful he has such a passion for this and it certainly came through. We could have spent the whole day with him. He was patient friendly and we couldn’t have been happier. I highly recommend this tour.

We had the luck to have Ana as our Jewish Tour Guide. She guided us through former Jewish areas of Porto, areas we certainly would never have realized were there. Just a important, Ana explained to us the broad historical sweep of the Jewish experience in Portugal and particularly Porto. Through the centuries.

I found the tour to be very informative. Our guide, Anna, brought the history to life. She was a wealth of knowledge and was very personable. Because this was off-season we were the only people on the tour. We did a lot of walking and some details that you will not see or recognize on your own.

What an incredible experience. Anna our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. Such a nice person. We learned so much about Jewish life throughout the history of Porto and Portugal. This is the tour to take if you want to learn about Jewish life in Porto. I really hope you get Anna as your guide.
