Exceptional tour! - Our tour guide, Sara, was INCREDIBLE! Her family has lived in Rome for over 500 years, so her personal knowledge truly enhanced her institutional knowledge about the Great Synagogue, the Museum, and the Rome Jewish Ghetto. The time flew by and our only regret was that we didn't have more time with her. We took other tours in Rome and the tour guides were very good, but none compared to Sara! This was truly the highlight of our trip, and I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

An unforgettable experience in the Jewish Quarter - This was a truly memorable visit to the Museum and Synagogue. As there were only two of us on the tour that day, we were able to get essentially a private tour with an excellent guide. Her knowledgeable of the priceless artifacts in the museum was impressive, and we learned so much about the history of the Jewish people of Rome and of the Jewish Quarter through the ages. The Synagogue is magnificent and our visit there was unforgettable and deeply moving. Highly recommended.

We met our guide Sara at... - We met our guide Sara at the specified outdoor location. It was torrential rain, so we were all running behind that morning (including Sara) but we communicated well via WhatsApp. We walked around the Jewish Ghetto area and she was giving descriptions of buildings and areas but it was a little hard to hear because of the rain. It was also cold and uncomfortable we were soaking wet - it may have been better if we went straight to the indoor portions first, then did the outdoor portions later when the rain let up a bit. We walked around the Jewish museum and heard a lot of interesting info about Judaism in Rome, including that Roman Jews are their own "thing" separate from Ashkenazi and Sephardic, that they all consider themselves Orthodox, and that Libyan Jews are prevalent in Rome. Also that the chapel in the museum is an active synagogue and they use ritual objects from the museum cases themselves for their services! We also got to see the Great Synagogue which was spectacular. Sara was easy to understand and animated and passionate about her subject matter.

Please fix your logistics! - The 4 stars apply to via your tour operator! The replacement guide was 5 stars and more! But, after trying to change the time I booked, then sending 1-2 emails a day, they gave confusing instructions for the meeting place( just make it the Great Synagogue, which all cabbies know), and please don’t change guides at the last minute, with no info for how to reach the new guide, since the one on record did not respond to calls! You gave us many instructions, but did not follow any of your own!
