Lissabon Jüdisches Erbe Private Tour

Guide has a tremendous amount of knowledge. He made special accommodations for one member of our group who had difficulty with steps and inclines. Suggest he slow down his cadence and focus on some of the more salient talking points - almost too much information given. Overall a very comprehensive tour.

We had an excellent day with our guide Nuno. He was pleasant and informative. My only negative comment, no reflection on our guide, Is that viator should have told us before booking that the Temple and Jewish cemetery are closed on Sunday. I expected that they'd be open since it was not the Sabbath but evidently that is not the cases in Portugal since the war began.)

Excellent tour. Heavy on Lisbon history combined with its Jewish history. Our guide’s knowledge was deep and excellent English skills

Walking in the old Jewish neighborhood was a highlight. Also, our guide was very knowledgeable about intertwining Jewish and Portuguese history. We were also grateful for his directing us to a fabulous lunch venue and showing us additional worthwhile sites.

Emotional to hear the history and hard to fathom what our ancestors went through. Loved walking through their neighborhood. Seeing one of the two synagogues functioning today was rewarding and good to know that Judiasm is still alive in Lisboa.

The guide was very knowledgable and able to provide the history of Jewish life in Lisbon. Unfortunately being Shabbat, we were unable to visit the synagogue.

The tour led by Paulo Shafer is brilliant! His depth of knowledge is phenomenal and his delivery is excellent. It is a most worthwhile tour giving one an incredible overview of the history and present situation of Portuguese Jewry. We had a wonderful morning and extend huge congratulations to Paulo for a job brilliantly done. Thank you.

<p>Our guide John was fabulous with immense knowledge and very caring and courteous we cannot fault him. However I was very disappointed with the trip as the visit to the synagogue was very very short. The guide had arranged a time at 1130 for us to visit and after waiting for him for 20 minutes he informed our guide he could not see us until 1pm. The guide in the synagogue Alan was quite rude couldn't be bothered and was only interested in extracting as much money in souvenirs for the synagogue. The whole visit lasted 10 minutes and he could not wait to see us go. We had to ask him the questions. We were never offered a visit to the Jewish cemetery and certainly did not see the Jewish heritage engravings on the walls of the ghetto. It was meant to be a 7 hour tour and we were delivered back to our cruise ship one and three quarter hours early. When I asked why we were not having the full 7 hours we were told because the traffic was not heavy. We paid the exorbitant rate 257 for a four and a quarter hour tour. This was very unsatisfactory. Yes we did see insides of 2 beautiful churches but that was not what we paid for we asked for a Jewish Heritage Tour and that is not what we got. This was our first visit to Lisbon and we were bitterly disappointed. We would not recommend this tour to our friends,</p>
