Barbara S2023-10-29Outstanding Lisbon Jewish tour I can't think of enough superlatives to describe how interesting Paolo's Jewish Lisbon walking tour is. Paolo is not only extremely knowledgable and passionate about the subject but he is also a brilliant storyteller. On his tour we got a unique perspective about Lisbon and saw plaques and Jewish artefacts that we would never have found ourselves.
Karen & Zel2023-10-17Fascinating day with a great guide It was a great day. Paolo picked us up at our hotel right on time, and was knowledgeable, friendly and spoke fluent English. He answered all our questions in a wide ranging tour, both historically and geographically in Lisbon. Even brought us to a wonderful local restaurant for lunch. Happy to recommend this tour.
Hersheybar_072023-09-25Amazing Lisbon Jewish Tour The Views were amazing, as was Paolo, my Tour Guide! He was professional, interesting, & most informative of his knowledge of Jewish history of Lisbon. I so enjoyed listening to his stories of Jewish Lisbon past. I highly recommend him, also, for his information on Lisbon in general.
Gail W2023-06-04Worthwhile Experience I would highly recommend Daniel as your tour guide. He was very personable and informative. Learned so much about the Jewish experience in Lisbon!
Ken W2023-05-06A Jewish history lesson This was an incredible tour. Paulo has deep knowledge of the Jewish history of Lisbon. He weaves it together with the history of Portugal and paints a total picture of what the Jews have gone through from the earliest times until the present. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough for those who are looking for a real history lesson.
NorthStar7726632023-04-23Excellent tour! My wife and I from Chicago did the tour by ourselves with Paolo/Paulo. It was first rate! He is very knowledgeable with significant depth…if you are interested. Very personable, pleasant, energetic, and very well informed. A “winner” all the way. Will surely pass the message to our friends and acquaintances
Liz S2022-11-19Jewish history While the Jewish history in Portugal isn't much, Paolo made the best of it for us. We visited ancient Alfama, where we visited Rue de Judiaria, the Jewish quarter, where we discovered the most ancient and traditional neighborhood in all of Lisbon, through the narrow streets and local small squares. As November 1st is a day of remembrance in Portugal, we unfortunately were not able to visit Shaare Tikvah Synagogue, However, we went to a small private congregation that's history and museum was unbelievable. We got to visit One of the most beautiful views of Lisbon City just by side Sao Jorge Castle from Miradouro da Graca along with a few other places. Great day, thank you Paolo
Lina S2022-11-16Dream come true This was a wonderful dream come true for me to visit Fatima Paulo Moreira dropped us off at the main gate and allowed us to experience the little chapel, tree and basilica and later joined us at the chapel It was a real treat for him to take us to the little village where the children had lived and to meet the niece of Francisco and Jacinta. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Convento de Cristo He knew a great deal of information We absolutely loved the day❤️❤️❤️
Jacqueline K2022-11-13Wonderful tour My husband I loved the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and geared the your towards our interests. It was an educational and enjoyable half-day.
Susan E2022-10-31Jewish Legacy in Portugal We did a half-day tour with Paolo learning about the Jewish history in Portugal. While we are not Jewish, we are very interested in their history here. Paolo is the one for the job! He is very knowledgeable about Portugal's history in general, and specifically the Jewish legacy here. He also told us many interesting facts that you won't read in a history book, and stories of elderly Jewish men and women that he has interviewed about their lives here many years ago. We highly recommend this tour.
Since ancient Roman Portugal, Jewish communities have been integral to Portuguese culture and heritage. For centuries, mountain villages in Portugal have served as a refuge to Jewish families fleeing persecution and preserving their traditions.
Our Jewish tours in Portugal offer visitors a unique opportunity to explore the country’s diverse Jewish history.
Portugal is unique and precious. And in very few other locations, you will feel the sharing and the genuine welcoming of the people of each region, each street, and each place. Enjoy the century-old traditions and the pages of history
