Exceptional. Sara was an incredible guide! She was so knowledgeable about this history and took us everywhere!

Beth_W

Sara was the best. Getting a tour from a member of the Roman Jewish community was very meaningful. She was so knowledgeable and shared of her own personal history and experience. A must do when in Rome. Her lunch recs were spot on too.

arynf2024

The tour was absolutely wonderful! Sara was a lovely, passionate, and very knowledgeable tour guide. We learned all about the Jewish community in Rome--in both ancient and modern times. Sara's warmth, enthusiasm, and extensive knowledge made this a highlight of our trip. We will recommend her tours to anyone we know who will be traveling to Italy.

We learned so much about the lives of the Jews over the centuries in and how they were affected by the restrictions of the ghetto. The Jewish museum was amazing and loved learning about Sara’s family’s story.

Visiting the Maggiore Synagogue and Museum Ebraica in the Jewish Ghetto in Rome was fantastic and a great way to spend an afternoon in Rome.So much beauty and history in this building with its mosaic, tile and gilt painted walls. Lovely neighborhood to wander and see evidence of a Jewish community dating to 20 CE. Eat Roman Jewish artichokes at one of the kosher cafes!

Steven_D

Walking in the footsteps of our common ancestors and being able to imagine what it looked like before the common era, during Napoleon's time, under various Popes, sitting and after WWI and WWII was amazing. Sara brings the past to life.

Sara was a wonderful guide. She grew up in and lives in the community and is very knowledgeable about its history. She's also very personable, and her English is great. Our only disappointment was the last-minute rescheduling of our tour from a 9 a.m. start to an 11:30 start. We were lucky our schedule could accommodate the change.

shannela2023

Sara is an amazing tour guide. This was by far the best tour I have ever been on. She was patient and thorough, and being part of the Roman Jewish community herself, she was able to give me in depth knowledge about Roman Jewish history. I’m so glad I went on this tour and it was truly an amazing experience to learn from Sara about her community.
