    André, the guide tour, was extremely engaging and knowledgeable. I myself am a history lover and was curious to learn more about the Jewish history of the city. It was wonderful to walk around the old streets, and seeing them in a different once I heard their stories. André had an answer to all of my questions and also was kind enough to provide tips for nice places to eat, more things to see in the city etc. I highly recommend this tour, and thank you André.

    We did this tour on March 26. Andre our guide was great and very passionate about the jewish history of the city and Portugal. Although there are not many remnants of that era to see today he pointed out to some of the signs that remain today that show what happened there once. He was very knowledgeable and easy going. Highly recommended.

    Je n’ai pu effectuer la visite effectivement payée, Réservée auprès de «  Get your guide » Il pleuvait beaucoup ce jour-là et nous n’étions que 2, mon mari et moi…. Le guide Joao parlait un anglais a couper au couteau…. A mon avis et a mes oreilles, il ne parlait pas un anglais compréhensible, je précise qu’il n’y avait pas de visite en Français. 3 heures de visite sous une grosse pluie avec de la difficulté à comprendre et échanger avec un guide!! J’ai abandonné au bout de 10m’ Évidemment la direction conteste mon avis et mon appréciation . Jen en été de mon argent Je ne recommande pad pas ce guide
