Your Itinerary

The Old Jewish Quarter

Rome is home to one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world. Its history is closely intertwined with the events of the Roman Catholic Church and the papacy, which over the centuries has played the roles of both protector and persecutor of the Roman Jews. Culturally rich and vibrant, the Roman Jewish community still has its center of gravity in a small patch of land near the Tiber River where their ancestors were confined by Pope Paul IV: the Ghetto. And right in the ghetto, there is the Jewish Museum of Rome, a little gem housed in the complex of the Great Synagogue. It is not only the impressive synagogue which attracts many visitors who come to visit, but also the Roman, medieval and renaissance ruins in Via del Portico d'Ottavia, the symbolic center of the district along with Piazza delle Cinque Scole. In the ghetto of Rome it is also possible to sample the authentic, traditional, Roman-Jewish cuisine and choose from many kosher eateries there, and the best bakery in town.

Conoscere cosi a fondo uno dei quartieri più antichi di Roma, è stata una esperienza molto entusiasmante. La nostra guida, come sempre, ci ha fatto conoscere gli aspetti storici più antichi nonché quelli più recenti che appartengono a questo quartiere. Come sempre il tour si è svolto rispettando le regole del distanziamento. Tour assolutamente da consigliare. Grazie agli organizzatori ed alla nostra simpaticissima guida!

Esperienza fantastica e di grande cultura tra le vie del ghetto romano e le piazze di Trastevere con la nostra guida Giuseppe che ci ha mostrato e descritto nei minimi particolari la storia e tante curiosità che mi hanno molto arricchito personalmente. Ringrazio Rome Italy Explora per l'organizzazione e per l'attenzione alle misure di sicurezza legate alla situazione pandemica

Non è stata la mia prima visita culturale a Trastevere, ma la differenza l'ha fatta la preziosa guida Giuseppe che ha raccontato il ghetto e situazioni storiche passate ed anche presenti che non conoscevo. La passeggiata ha permesso anche visita alla Chiesa di Santa Cecilia che non avevo mai visto. Quando una esperienza ti arricchisce, il merito è di chi organizza e di chi ti guida, per questo cercherò di non perdermi altre visite accompagnate e spiegateda Giuseppe. Grazie

Tour molto interessante e pieno di emozioni in una delle parti più belle della città. Abbiamo visto i posti più rilevanti e la guida ci ha daro informazioni sia storica che della vita odierna.

Vivo a Roma da 4 anni ma non avevo mai avuto l’occasione di visitare così bene il ghetto. Il tour è durato 3 ore, svolgendosi tra il cuore del ghetto e il quartiere Trastevere. La nostra guida, con un modo casalingo che io apprezzo molto, ci ha guidati nella storia del quartiere partendo dalla Roma antica fin quasi ai giorni nostri. Tour molto consigliato, ma senza dubbio impegnativo, preparatevi ad almeno tre ore di camminata senza troppe pause.

Pomeriggio trascorso tra le piazze e le chiese di trastevere. Con il gruppo ci siamo spostati successivamente all'isola tiberina e dopo al quartiere ebraico, dove la guida Giuseppe ci ha illustrato usanze e costumi del popolo ebraico. Bellissima esperienza, da ripetere. Grazie per aver organizzato questo tour!
