Phenomenal guide explained the history of the Jewish community exceptionally well. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour easy to follow and interesting
Wonderful tour!I went over a month ago and what I learned from our excellent guide has stayed with me. Our family asked a ton of questions and we received in-depth answers. The guide was patient and kind. The pace and sites chosen were perfect!
Our guide was informative and knowledgeable Sara Shared her own experiences as well as her tour guide knowledge
Sarah was so knowledgeable about the history of Jewish education, health and community in Montreal. If this is something you’re interested in, I recommend booking this tour.
I’m a former museum professional so please realize that. It was a good tour. Our earnest you g guide explained things on too simplistic a level for the mature audience. It seemed slow. Too much explaining without enough humor or anecdotes. Also should tell about today’s Jewish community and how neighborhood changed.
Really informative tour. Noah seems like an expert on the topic. He speaks loud and clear so easy to understand. Highly recommend.
It was an excellent experience as a 1st generation immigrant myself to learn about the Jewish History in Montreal and I felt their resilience as well. I wish I had more educational background in history nonetheless it was still a very memorable experience. I definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Montreal.
