My Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour through the Jewish Ghetto. Our guide, Jeanette, was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about the history of the Jews in Rome. The group was small (12) which also added to the enjoyment of the evening as the interaction was personal and we could hear all the information quite clearly. Highly recommended.
The guide was the best She knew a lot about the Jewish Ghetto. I wish more people would go on this tour .
The tour was interesting and enlightening. Our delightful guide, Jeanette, was excellent !
I now know the real truth in why the Jewish religion had to leave Europe and live elsewhere. It was because they were not accepting the Catholic religion and were forced to live in the ghetto by the Pope as their punishment. I can accept the Catholic religion and other religions even if some of my religion can not. The tour guide explained everything about the history of the Jewish people in Rome and that answered all my questions. The Romans were good to the Jews when they had to leave Israel because of Syrians and they came to Italy in 1161 BC.
I have already sent a very positive review direct to "Enjoy Rome" about this tour and in particular our tour guide. The entire 3 hours were packed with interest and made all the more enjoyable by the cheerful and friendly demeanour of our guide. We shall most certainly recommend this tour to others and would hope to be back again in Rome soon.

Despite the rain in the last 1.5hours, an excellent tour and highly recommended tour. Priscilla was just wonderful (a real plus of this tour) - can't beat the knowledge, very friendly, great sense of humor.
Rosella (Scarlett) is an excellent and informed guide who knows this area well. She was interesting, open to questions and very informative. The tour begain formally but by the end of it she was relaxed and personal. The small group (only 5) made for an excellent and well paced tour. If all Viator tours are like this, I'll be booking more! Thanks for a great afternoon.
I so wanted to go inside the Grand Temple, but it was Friday evening. That was so enjoyable and our guide was really very lovely and informative. Sister and I treated ourselves to a huge gelato afterwords. Many blessings and thanks for offering us insight into a most important facet of Rome.
Again the Tour guide was so interesting .I should have written her name down.Up to now whenever we have booked ,we have had the most knowledgeable and interesting guides.Its been a delight to meet them.
Outstanding and knowledgeable guide and fascinating sights.
This was a very low key stroll around the Jewish areas. Inge really enjoyed showing the areas she knew and answered questions with in-depth knowledge. Beautiful places to see. We managed to experience the St Cecilia Basilica and the nuns singing their vespers.
This was a lovely tour in the Ghetto and in Trastevere area. It was nice to see Rome around the time sun was going down and to hear stories about the fate of the Roman Jews, to see the theater of Marcellus and walk in the narrow alleys of Trastevere. The Santa Maria in Trastevere is a magnificent church. Our guide was Janet, who had studied art history in Rome and knew her subject so well!
Excellent tour and our guide was excellent and knew her stuff. Would recomend this tourn to anyon einterested inthe Jewish Ghetto and what happened to them during Wird War 11.
We completely enjoyed this tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very professional. We would recommend this tour to anyone who might be interested to learn about the Jewish heritage of Rome.
Our walking tour was led by art history grad Inger, who led a leisurely paced path through the Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere, pointing out history no one would spot without a guide. Tours of piazzas, churches and bridges made for a wonderful, unforgettable evening.
