Het Joodse East End van Londen.
Beschrijving
De tour begint met de achtergrond van de 15e-eeuwse Guildhall en de prachtige door Wren ontworpen kerk van St. Lawrence Jewry; we ontdekken dat we in het Joodse getto van Londen zijn. De tour vertelt de route van de aankomst van Joodse mensen in Groot-Brittannië vanaf de middeleeuwen tot aan het levendige straatbeeld van Brick Lane. Onderweg komt u meer te weten over de vervolging en verdrijving van Joodse mensen onder koning Edward I en de latere overname onder Oliver Cromwell. We zullen het pad volgen van de Oost-Europese Joden die ontsnappen aan de pogroms van de jaren 1800 en hun integratie in de Britse samenleving en cultuur. We komen ook de verschrikkingen van de holocaust tegen en de verhalen van vindingrijkheid en opoffering achter het Kindertransport-monument. We zullen de Slag bij Cable Street van 1936 vieren toen de lokale gemeenschap schouder aan schouder stond om te voorkomen dat de fascistische beweging door het Joodse East End marcheerde. We bezoeken de oudste synagogen van Londen en wandelen over Petticoat Lane.

Wonderful tour made fabulous by David. We could not possibly have had a better tour guide. We obtained an insightful understanding of the Jewish history in London as a result of David’s research and personal experiences during his life in London. Highly recommended.
A very different itinerary that a tourist would otherwise never see. Not only Jewish London but other unique places as well
Hi Martin, Thank you for your amazing review and feedback. So pleased you enjoyed the tour. Warmest regards, David
David (tour guide) was wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable and informative. Made many interesting stops and even provided snacks.
Hi Sandy, Thank you for the amazing feedback and review. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the tour and some of the hidden gems of London. Warmest Regards, David
David was a great guide and a very friendly and professional driver. We got everything we expected in this tour and a couple of bonus sites (Jack the Ripper and Harry Potter). Some of the scheduled places were quite moving and others wete very enlightening.
Hi Ronald, I'm so pleased that you both enjoyed the tour, and thank you for your amazing review and feedback. Warmest regards, David
I know the tour is going to be good when the tour guide arrives early. David came early and greeted us with a smile. What a delight to see London and the East End from the back of a London Taxi with a real life Jewish Taxi Driver. He was professional, friendly, informative and accommodating. It was just my wife and he made a couple of adjustments to accommodate our time needs and where we needed to be after the tour. London has a long Jewish history and we experienced part of it with David from the back of his taxi. Be forewarned though that some of what you will experience is being in the neighborhood of what was there. The real Jewish presence has moved away from the East End. For those of you that have traveled to the Lower East Side in NYC - very reminiscent of traveling on Orchard Street. David does other tours and when we come back we will definitely avail ourselves of his other tours.
Hi Jefferey, Thank you for your amazing feedback and review. I’m looking forward to meeting up with you and Michelle on your next tour. Warmest regards, David.
Great tour. Our tour guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable. His interaction with us was outstanding. He was very focus yet very flexible. We even stopped for the best bagels in London!!
