Description
Come explore the history of the Jewish people in Argentina, from its colonial times to modernity. As we navigate the history, traditions and landmarks of South America’s largest community, we’ll explore the neighborhoods of Once, Tribunales and Retiro. We’ll go beyond tradition as we explore how politics and the broad history of Argentina shaped the Argentine Jewish Identity. This tour includes a private born-and-raised Argentine Jewish guide, bus fare during the tour and tickets to AMIA, Libertad Synagogue and the Jewish Museum.

Mel met my wife and I at our hotel in Midtown, and, as it was a public holiday and we were unable to access any of the sites, supplemented the Jewish tour with a visit to the French quarter. She was delightful, knowledgeable, engaging and spoke excellent English. She gave us a comprehensive overview of Argentine history, both Jewish and in general, and shared her passion for the city and the country
We appreciate your comments - we love Melanie and will send her your thoughts on her remarkable work!
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate Very friendly too. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcxxxccccccccccc
Very interesting and sad experience at the same time. In a few hours you will learn much of the Jewish history of Argentina. Julia was a great guide
Julia was exceptional, pleasant, intelligent and helpful. She knew a lot, explained things well, and was a wealth of knowledge. My friend and I were very moved by our visit to all the sites and learning about the unique Jewish immigrants' contribution to Argentine life was fascinating.
I`m an observant jew and having Lunfarda organized my trip was incredible. They organized kosher lunchboxes for me and my family, and even sent a bottle of Argentine Kosher Wine to our room for Shabat. The tours where amazing, the kids loved them, specially the one of La Boca. Fernando is a great guide, i cant recommend Lunfarda and Fernando enough. Thanks for making us have such a great time at Buenos Aires!!
