Joodse wijk begeleide wandeltocht in Istanbul
Beschrijving
Een stad verkennen door te wandelen is een intieme manier om het te leren kennen, en er is geen betere manier om meer te weten te komen over de Joodse wijk Karaköy dan om er omheen te wandelen. Je maakt een groepswandeling door het moderne Galata en wordt gecharmeerd door de kleurrijke straten, terwijl je leert over het dagelijkse leven daar terwijl je langs de Joodse appartementen loopt. Je loopt ook de beroemde Camondo-trappen op en af, een architectonisch wonder gebouwd met een eigenzinnige combinatie van Art Noveau en Neo-barokke artistieke stijlen. Laat je verrassen door de verhalen en het commentaar van een leuke en deskundige Engelssprekende gids, vooral wanneer je langskomt in het Joods Museum, waar je meer te weten komt over de cultuur en geschiedenis van Joodse Turken. Ga naar het ingewijde terrein van de synagogen van het district, zoals de synagogen van Ashkenazi en Schneider, koester je in hun kalmerende en heilige atmosfeer en begrijp hoe religie de levensstijl van de inwoners van het district heeft beïnvloed.

On the good side, we overall enjoyed the tour. We had plenty of time with the guide, he was very open with sharing information, and he took us lots of places we would not have easily found on our own -- such as specific hotels with photos of Jewish families (see attached). At the end, he took us to a few additional points of interest. We learned many things during the tour. On the not-so-good side, most of the information is in the museum, which you could easily see on your own -- and you can buy many simple books in the museum which give you the relevant history. The guide scheduled the tour for 9 am but nothing is open until 10 am, so we sat around a coffee shop for an hour. His narrative was disjointed and, at times, hard to follow. There was a potential protest the day of our tour, and while it was entirely appropriate to alert us to this potential risk, it seemed the guide himself was very anxious and this made us anxious--yet we never experienced the protest or any special police presence. Compounding the issue, our group had some cruise ship passengers who themselves were anxious and in a rush. Overall, I'd recommend seeing the museum on your own; it's very near to Galata Tower and worth seeing. Bring your passport.

The venues open at 10.00am so the tour operator kept us sitting in a smokey coffee shop for an hour. There was misinformation given to us and we felt the overall experience did not give us the sense of the Turkey Jewish people. It was one of the worst experiences we ever had with a local tour company

The tour was excellent. Our guide Barack was extremely knowledgeable. He informed us above Jewish history in Turkey from 70AD until today. He also gave us general history of Turkey from the 1200’s through the time of Christopher Columbus, thru both world wars and today’s politics. The Jewish Museum and Nuve Shalom Synagogue were both beautiful and interesting.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it both informative and engaging. Barack will be thrilled to know his deep knowledge and storytelling made a positive impact on your experience. We're also glad you appreciated the visit to the Jewish Museum and Neve Shalom Synagogue—both truly special places with rich history. It was our pleasure to have you with us, and we hope to welcome you again on another meaningful journey through history and culture. Warm regards,
