It was great to see the remnants of what once a thriving Jewish community. Our tour guide, Jon, was personable, very well prepared, and friendly. Please note that while this tour was not described as a walking tour it was. Lots of hilly narrow streets. If you have a mobility issue this tour is not for you.
Miriana was excellent - interesting and friendly. I liked the pace of the tour. There was a variety of experiences
Please refund money The guide knew nothing about the topic And the temple was closed. This was the biggest waste of time and money
Dear Kathy, Thank you for sharing this review, It saddens me to learn that the private tour through Jewish Quarter didn't live up to your expectations, The guide informed us that the Synagogue was closed on this day so it was not possible to visit it, the closure had not been advised to our company. She offered you to receive the entrance tickets so you could visit it on the next day or request a partial refund through your booking agency for the Synagogue. Regarding your comments about her performance, I would liek to inform that we have receive numerous positives commentaries about her by other customers doing this same private tour. Sincerely
Very knowledgeable person gave full history of the area. Took into account age and ability of the group and gaged her pace accordingly
First Roger went to wrong hotel. Second he had us walk to Jewish Quarter rather than take included transportation ( my wife uses a walker). Then his knowledge seemed minimal. I do not recommend this tour.
Dear Mel_K, Thank you for taking the time to write this review, It sadden sme to elarn that the Jewish Quarter tour didn't live up to your expectations, Please bear in mind that even being a private tour, the option boked did not included pick up on a vehicule but walking tour with our guide, Best regards,
Nicest, most lovely guide ever but not enough of a Jewish imprint to warrant this tour. Or, the price should have been 1/2 what it was as it was barely 90 minutes and only went to one place of significance.Not fault of guide but there is just not enough to see to warrant a tour.
Dear loree_k Thank you for taking the time to write this review, Ia m glad to learn that you were staiasfied with our guide, even though you expected the commentary to be somehow more Jewish related, It is necessary to point out taht the inclusions and duration are included on the tour description and can be checked before compelting a booking, Sincerely,
This was extremely disappointing and we found the guide uninformed and antisemitic. I don’t think it is fair to offer this tour unless you have a more sensitive and knowledgeable guide. For what it was it was vastly overpriced
Dear Val_L, Thank you for sharing your feedback, I regret to learn that you were not satisfied with the Jewish Quarter private tour, We will take your comments into account and pass them to the department in charge, as we strive to provide excellent service, Best regards,
Guide was very nice but really didn’t seem that knowledgeable about the tours subject matter. She seemed a bit unfamiliar with the Jewish quarter layout, etc
Dear Ben_S, Thank you for sharing your feedback, It saddens me to learn that you were not entirely satisfied with The Jewish Quarter private tour, I will take your comments into account, as we strive to provide an excellent service, Even thou you were not entirely satisfied with our guide's performance, I appreciate you kind words, Best regards,
Roger was very good with the history, but he was 10 minutes late getting us and was going to leave us at the old synagogue. When we told him we had no idea where we were and how to get back to the hotel, he took us to a square and said “your hotel is right over there.” We wondered around for half an hour before we found our way back. Turned out he was correct. We turned the wrong direction. He should have been more sensitive to our expressing that we were not oriented. I don’t care where the tour is scheduled to end. You don’t leave too old people who are disoriented on a very hot day. We were so close to the hotel. He could have taken the 5 minutes to walk us back. Since he was late, he really owed us the time!
Dear Francine_C, Thank you for taking the time to write this review, It is great to learn that you had a nice tour through the Jewish Quarter, We are glad to learn that our guide our guide accompanied you back to the square next to your hotel, even though the tour does not include the return to the hotel, Best regards,
Excellent Guide. Daniel made the tour memorable for my wife and me. We loved his personal stories and how he related these stories to the historic Jewish Community. He was so patient and careful with us as we climbed the stairs and maneuvered around the winding streets. Very impressive tour and very impressive guide, In our 50 years plus travels in Europe and Asia. thjs tour ranks in the top of the list. It helped make the historic Jewish section as well as the city of Lisbon come alive in so many ways. We wish Daniel could lead tours for us in other cities and in other major attractions.
