Our tour guide, Joao, was extremely well prepared, and spoke in a manner making it easy for this hard of hearing tourist to understand every word he said. He answered every question we had he gave us lots of information about the City of Porto too. I could not recommend him more highly. GREAT TOUR!

Jewish Walking Tour
A lot of walking on uneven stone. Many climbing stairs. Tour guide was very accommodating and took care not to rush us (4 seniors). He was very prepared and informative.

We learned a lot of facts as well we learned about architecture as well.
We had an amazing walking tour with Joao Rocha as he took us on the Jewish History Tour. Joao was wonderful as he explained all about the history of the Jewish people that lived in Porto . He was very knowledgeable, kind and considerate and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. When the tour was over , it didn’t seem like 3 hours had gone by. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed our time with Joao and would recommend anyone coming to Porto and wants to take this tour to have Joao be their guide!

WORST EVER
the worst guide i have ever had. really did not realize it was a jewish tour he was giving. to say that the jews moved to a getto which he would not say getto and locked in at night made the jews happy to uproot their homes and moved to be locked in at night was what the jews liked. reasoning is they had their own oven for cooking. Also the October 7 attack may not have happened depending on the media that you read. bad answer for the murder, torture, and rape of innocent people. You should be ashamed for hiring a person like that. I WANT MY MONEY BACK. MORRIE REIFF 01+818-359-6888

Thank you for your review. We take feedback seriously, especially when it concerns such an important and sensitive part of history. However, we strongly disagree with the account presented here, as it does not accurately reflect either our guide or the content of the tour.
Our guide is highly experienced and has been conducting historical tours for many years. He treats the history of Jewish communities, the persecution of Jews and the Holocaust with the seriousness and respect these subjects demand. At no point does our tour suggest that Jews willingly chose to be confined in ghettos, that they were happy to be forced from their homes, or that the conditions imposed upon them were somehow desirable. Any reference to facilities such as communal ovens is made in its historical context and certainly not as an explanation for why people would have wanted to live under persecution and confinement.
We are also particularly concerned by the suggestion that our guide questioned whether the events of October 7, 2023 happened. He did not deny the attacks, nor did he deny the murder and suffering of innocent people. To suggest otherwise is a serious misrepresentation of what was communicated during the tour.
We also note that two separate reviews have been posted by this guest regarding the same tour experience. Posting multiple reviews for the same experience is contrary to the review policies of the platform, and we have therefore brought this matter to the platform's attention for review.
We welcome honest criticism, including criticism of our guides and tours. However, criticism should be based on what was actually said and experienced, rather than attributing statements or positions to our guide that he did not express.
We are proud of our guides and of the care with which they approach difficult and painful chapters of history. We remain committed to presenting history accurately, respectfully and in its proper context.

Jewish Perseverance
Very detailed and personable guide. Riveting history of Jewish perseverance. Our guide, Ricardo, did an excellent job of weaving Portugal and Jewish history. Great tour.

Guide was very knowledge but he was not suited for a Jewish tour. fact the Jews were moved from the their homes was ok!
Our guide said that Insurrection was not all bad was not acceptable. Putting Jews in an area where they were locked in at night and opened in the morning was a good thing because they had their own oven to cook with, he said that. We asked if he thought the massacre in Israel was a bad thing and he said that he could not comment because guides are to be impartial, killing anyone is terrible and never calls for someone to be impartial . We were very disappointed as we did not see much of a Jewish area or a temple or history.
Also have guides that are more knowledgeable about problems that the Jews dealt with. That was part of Portugal history, not taking sides, really?. That is explaining what happened to the Jewish people. He did tell the history of some of the churches but not sure why on a Jewish tour. We already knew the Porto had a lot of churches but were on a Jewish Tour. We went with this tour and requested a specific guide that was not Jewish but he was not available who we were told did a great tour but for us this was not good. For us this was a waste of our time, and money. Not happy and would not recommend to friends coming to Porto. Please do a better job picking guides.

Hello Morrie, we were waiting for your review because the moment the guide finished the tour he sent a message saying how difficult it was doing the tour not because he doesn´t know what he was doing (he does this tours for quite some time and never had a review below 4stars) but do to the fact that the customers were difficult and I could mention a lot of things said during the tour that have nothing to do with the jewish heritage we have in Porto. Guides are to be impartial and no one is taking sides in anything as you might understand and realize. We are sorry that the tour didn´t happen as you might thought and there were no special requirements for a specific guide as you mention above. It's never a waste of time or even money to discover the history of Judaism in Porto :)

A must see for Jews in Porto!
We had a wonderful Jewish walking tour with Ricardo, our guide. I was concerned because I have multiple sclerosis with associated heat intolerance, and it was 89 degrees. However, we stuck to the shadows as much as possible, and we made frequent stops. It was very interesting, and we learned a lot. We saw the Aron Hakhodesh from a secret synagogue. It was a terrific tour. I highly recommend it!
