This was an amazing overview of Jewish immigration to São Paulo and Brazil. We visited the Jewish Immigration and Holocaust Museum and spent a couple of hours there. After a stop for lunch, we visited the Jewish Museum of São Paulo. Doris was a tour guide and she did a fantastic job. In the Jewish Museum she even pointed out a picture of her parents at their wedding! Very glad we booked this tour.
Thank you for sharing your experience! 😊 It’s wonderful to hear the tour exceeded expectations and that Doris made a difference with her care and knowledge. See you next time!
Great experience. Very knowledgeable tour guide. She was fluent in English and very familiar and articulate about Jewish places and history in Sao Paulo. Highly recommend.
We had a lovely Jewish guide. She was very knowledgeable. She also was quite patient as I made a purchase in H.Stetn.
Ilan is a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide. He gave a fantastic tour of beautiful Jewish sights. I’m very glad to have had this experience and highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re so happy to hear that Ilan provided an insightful and enjoyable experience during your tour of the Jewish sights. It’s great to know that his knowledge and personality made the tour special for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for more unforgettable tours in São Paulo! 🌟
The tour was amazing. Doris was a fabulous guide. Her English is perfect (she lived in San Diego for a time) and she was highly knowledgeable about both the Jewish history of Brazil and of São Paulo and Brazil in general. I would highly recommend taking this tour with her. My spouse, who is not Jewish and is from Brazil, thoroughly enjoyed it as well.
The whole tour was wonderful. Adi is an amazing tour guide! And an excellent translator. Very few people spoke English and Adi helped us choose what to order in the bakery, explained what was happening at the Synagogue service and translated what the guides were saying at the museum. And he is very friendly, interesting and has a great sense of humor.
Thank you so much for your kind words about your tour. We are so happy that you enjoyed the tour with the guide Adi. 😃 Once you are able to head back to Brazil, make sure to let us know! I would love to plan your next tour to explore other parts of our city. Stay healthy and take care! Warm regards, 🤝
<p>I signed my parents up for this tour, as I had to work, and they had a wonderful time. Great experience, excellent guide, they are still talking about it.</p>
Thank you so much for your great feedback! I'm happy to hear your parents loved the tour. We are always here for you! ;-)
