Privéwandeling door het Joodse getto in Rome
Beschrijving
Ontdek de schoonheid, het mysterie en de geschiedenis van 's werelds oudste Joodse getto en vind de verborgen schatten van Rome die de meeste toeristen nooit zien. Tijdens deze tour langs de meer lokale kant van Rome ontmoet je je vriendelijke, deskundige gids op Piazza Venezia aan de noordkant van de zuil van Trajanus voordat je naar het beroemde Joodse getto of de Joodse wijk gaat. Ontdek een van de oudste en nog steeds functionerende delen van Rome terwijl je gids dit gebied tot leven brengt.

Reisroute
We beginnen bij de Zuil van Trajanus en zien Piazza Venezia voordat we de zacht glooiende trappen naar Piazza del Campidoglio oplopen om het prachtige ontwerp van het plein te zien dat allemaal werd bedacht door de grote Michelangelo, en nu de thuisbasis van de beroemde Capitolijnse Musea.
Vanaf hier lopen we naar het Theater van Marcellus, vaak gekscherend het kleine Colosseum genoemd. Hoewel het architectonisch vergelijkbaar is met het Colosseum, is het theater van Marcellus iets ouder, daterend uit 12 v. .
Tijdens onze wandeling zullen we de vele restaurants in de buurt zien en stoppen voor een voorproefje van traditionele koosjere gelato. Daarna maken we een korte wandeling naar de prachtige Fontana delle Tartarughe (de schildpadfontein), een waar meesterwerk uit de late Italiaanse Renaissance, waar u in slechts één dag zult ontdekken hoe het beroemd werd gebouwd.
Gebouwd in 1555, is dit het oudste Joodse getto. De paus herriep alle rechten die aan de Romeinse joden waren verleend en verbood hen van alle soorten handel en het vermogen om onroerend goed te bezitten. Desondanks bloeide de Joodse gemeenschap binnen de ontwikkeling van zakelijke handel, een unieke en heerlijke keuken binnen hun muren en zelfs hun eigen dialect van het Italiaans. De Grote Synagoge, nog steeds de op twee na grootste van Europa, fungeert vandaag als een plaats van gebed en een essentieel cultureel referentiepunt voor de hele Joodse gemeenschap van Rome.
Vanaf hier is het een zeer korte wandeling naar de Porticus Octaviae, een enorm bouwwerk gebouwd door keizer Augustus ter ere van zijn zus Octavia. Van de 15e tot het begin van de 20e eeuw was het de thuisbasis van de vismarkt van Rome. Vanaf hier gaan we het getto zelf binnen.
Afsluitend op Tiber Island, waar verleden en heden naadloos in één samenvloeien, werd het eiland door de oude Romeinen gebruikt als een ziekenhuis en de rivier hielp hen als een natuurlijke barrière om de verspreiding van ziekten te stoppen, en een van Rome's beste ziekenhuizen kan nog steeds worden vandaag op die site gevonden. Het eiland biedt een prachtig uitzicht op de rivier en is gunstig gelegen tussen het getto en de lokale wijk Trastevere en is goed verbonden om terug te keren naar elk deel van de stad.

Jaime’s knowledge on the Discovering Jewish history walking tour was excellent and he sprinkled the discussion with anicdotes and stories. My only negative was that at the beginning he probably spent a little too long talking about the history before we actually got walking. Having said that his knowledge was amazing !! Lovely guy on top of everything !!

There is a lot of history to discuss on the tour and he might have extended it a bit to allow late comers to catch the group before actually setting off. We will discuss it with him however.

We really enjoyed The Tour of The Jewish Ghetto with Roman Vacations. We were thrilled with our guide , he was kind and really intelligent and patient. Our tour was comprised of couples and families and each person appeared really engaged. We travelled with our young adult son and each of us really took so much from our guides tour. We would definitely use them again , they provided an exemplary service that is exactly as outlined on their website and much more. The tour was filled will tons of sights from Roman Temples to Pagan ruins. The Jewish Ghetto was beautiful despite its innocent residents horrific abuse and murder , from the expulsions and mistreatment to the forced deportations and murder of innocent Jewish men , woman and children during the Holocaust. Their stories were told both factually and respectfully by our guide. There are also beautifully crafted brass floor tiles outside the homes commemorating the names and place of death of Jewish victims of the Nazis . This really is a highly recommended company and Tour as our guide did an incredible job on all levels. He covered this tour with breadth and scope and we are really thankful to have been on his tour. It was crazy hot in Rome and the complementary delicious gelato at a wonderful Gelateria in the heart of the Jewish Ghetto was a welcome and nice surprise. Thank you for a memorable day.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We are so, so, glad we were able to give you such a wonderful experience. We hope to see you again!
