Roman Jewish Ghetto Tour Review - Angela was an enthusiastic and very knowledgeable tour guide! It was clear she’s passionate about history and relaying accurate information (and fun stories passed down through generations). The tour itself covered significant parts of ancient Jewish Roman history, the deportations during the Holocaust, and rescuer actions by Gentile Romans. The gelato was delicious, and we enjoyed an incredible lunch after the tour thanks to Angela’s recommendation. Highly recommend this tour!

James is awesome - James, our tour guide was AMAZING. His knowledge was extensive, and his empathy and compassion, as well as his sense of obligation to share some of the the not-so-pleasant history made for a very meaningful and memorable experience. He clearly loves what he does.

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 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
