Reviews for Discover The Jewish Ghetto Of Rome On A Small Group Walking Tour
Great route taken, tour not focused enough on the Ghetto and Jewish culture, history

Great history of Rome. Would have liked for more in-depth recount and focus on Ghetto. We took a great route and the guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Rome, starting at the area of Rome first populated in BC around the Forum and ending in the Ghetto with present day recounts of WW2 deportations of Jewish families who resided in the Ghetto. I felt like 70% of the tour was focused on outside the Ghetto, I would have expected more to be inside the Ghetto given the title of the tour, with more real life stories of the Jewish population, culture, history of the neighbourhood, e.g., in this shop they did xyz, during this festival they celebrated xyz here by doing abc. No complaints about the guide, I understand she was trained in a certain way and she was fabulous, it is more about the content of the tour which the company manage which I feel is misleading in the tour title.
Ok tour

Guide knew more about Rome than Jewish history but I learned a lot about the Romans.
Separately, definitely buy tickets to go to the synagogue (sold right in front of the synagogue) and museum in the basement of the synagogue that gives a great overview of Jewish and local Rome history
Very Interesting Your

I had a great time learning about the Jewish Ghetto with Daniel
I really like the tour and what he had to say but it started to rain so hard that we had to leave
It was absolutely pouring. However Daniel got me interested in the subject and it went back the next day on my own to explore the neighborhood when I could be dry.
Great guide and very interesting tour

Our guide was great. He was super informative and really knew so much about the history and current day of the Jewish Ghetto. He answered questions and was very nice I highly recommend it.
Great walking tour

Great history and walk! We really enjoyed doing this with our children — 11 and 13. Lots of history of ancient to modern Rome as well as history of Jews in Rome.
