Rome Jewish Ghetto and Great Synagogue Small Group Walking Tour
Description
This is a must-see! The place where the Jews were once confined and which has now become the heart of the Jewish community in Rome. Grab the chance to visit the Jewish sites with a local official tour guide from the Jewish community of Rome, and do not be afraid to get in contact if you want to take the tour in the afternoon. Everything is slow and relaxed, and a stark contrast to the hectic lifestyle of the rest of the city. The lovely Rome Synagogue and Jewish Museum are also located here and constitute a fundamental chapter of Jewish history. On Shabbath we can give you the chance to have a nice guided stroll in the Jewish quarter as well, without visiting the museum and synagogue, so no entrance tickets to be paid, no hearing devices in this case. For more info get in contact.

Sarah was a wonderful tour guide- I would highly recommend her! She was incredibly engaging for both adults and kids. She has such a deep knowledge of the Jewish history of Rome and her passion comes through as she takes you on the journey. It was a very special tour.

It was fabulous. Sarah shared her personal family experiences in the Jewish Ghetto and Great Synagogue. She also showed us where we had a wonderful Jewish meal.
Sarah was extremely knowledgeable and folded in stories into the history of the buildings and locations we visited.
Sarah was amazing so knowledgeable and interesting she took the time to answer questions and was so enthusiastic
Such an insightful tour! Sara is such an expert, talking through the entire museum and answering all our questions. Was incredible to see the synagogue and learn more about Jewish history in Rome. This was a highlight of our trip!
Our tour with Sara Terracina for the Rome Jewish Ghetto and Synagogue Small Group Walking Tour was one of the highlights of our stay in Rome. Sara was very friendly and informative about the Jewish history and culture of Rome and gave us alot of insight into the history of the Jewish quarter and the resilence of the Jews and the struggles they faced during the Nazi deportation era. We especially enjoyed the tours of the Jewish Museum and the Great Synagogue and all the details that Sara provided us about the institutions and all the artifacts we saw. Sara was able to bring to life an understanding of Jewish Roman life, past and present, through her detailed descriptions and excerpts of history as we walked thorough the Synagogue, Museum and the Jewish Ghetto. Sara's knowledge and personality provided us with one of the best tours we have ever taken.
thank you very much for your kind words and it was really my pleasure to be your tour guide. Wish you all the best and hope to see you again maybe with others Rome Jewish Tours.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We learned so much about the hardships the Jewish people have faced in Rome over the thousands of years and about the current community and how history has shaped it. Also, Sara was so incredible, and we absolutely loved meeting her. You will not be disappointed learning from her.
The guide is kind, professional, and manages to interest both children and adults. We learned a lot of things in a warm atmosphere.
It was a very informative tour of the Jewish ghetto. Our family learned a lot and continued to ask questions to further our understanding. Our guide Sarah had so much valuable knowledge on this part of history and was so welcoming. She showed items or places to interest our kids and keep them engaged. I suggest everyone take this tour.
