Best tour ever - I don’t do tours. Not my thing. But this tour changed everything. Guido was so affable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, I was sad when it was over. Problem is, it raises the bar for any other tour. We’re going to the Coliseum tomorrow with a different outfit, I don’t see how it can compare.

The best tour I've done yet - Ben was an incredible tour guide with so much knowledge of the area. I think this tour is amazing to do if you feel you've done lots in Rome and don't think there is much more to know. It takes you through the history of the Jewish Ghetto and it's history and Trastevere (trendy and historical) with recommendations for and against restaurants, which I'd argue are equally as important. Best walking tour I've done, and I've done tones!

A memorable introduction - Ben is a friendly, respectful guide with a great sense of humour and a clear love of Roman history and culture. It was such a joy learning so much about the city's intimate and complicated relationship with its Jewish community as well as some eye-opening insights about a few key historical figures who have played a role in its story - popes, emperors, and dictators, etc. A memorable introduction to a rare jewel of the eternal city. Thank you again!

Tour of the Ghetto and travestere - Alicia was charming, informative and friendly. The tour was interesting and sensitive to the Jewish people. Travestere was also fun - enjoyed exploring the alleyways. Good advice on where to eat and buy gelato!

Outstanding - This was a terrific tour. We were lucky to have alethea to ourselves and she gave us a informative and fascinating historical tour of the Jewish ghetto both on both sides of the river. She told fascinating stories about the history of the Jewish people in Rome from Roman times all the way up to almost present day. We visited historical sites including the Magnificent Temple located just outside the Jewish quarter. I would absolutely recommend this tour and our guide.

The Jewish ghetto tour - Ben, our guide, knew all the ins and outs of the ghetto and Trastevere. He was amazingly knowledgeable, told us really interesting facts, stopped to show us little nooks and crannies, and was all around terrific. It was an A+ tour.
