Jewish Walking Tour of Porto follows early community sites from Sé to Ribeira and Vitória viewpoints. Small group, English, free stop entries.
“The tour was very interesting and informative. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the Jewish history of Porto and Lisbon. It turned out that the tour was just the 2 of us so we had a personal experience and we were able to go at our own pace and ask as many questions as we liked. The guide also very kindly waited for us because we were a few minutes late. Our Uber was stuck in traffic and I sent a message that we were on our way. He responded immediately and was very understanding. I highly recommend this tour.”

“Roza was an exceptional tour guide !!! She is full of knowledge and passion and has a gift for sharing this important Jewish history that never shall be forgotten. She touched my heart with the places she took me to and stories she taught. I would never have found these places on my own and she introduced me to people, that were able to complement her tour, with knowledge and places that again, I would not have been able to experience. I was so moved at times with these visits to historical places, the synagogue and the Jewish museum that I was brought to tears. Not only am I so…”

“Maria did an excellent job providing context, and history behind the sites she was showing us. While she focused on what the Inquisition didn't do in Porto, it would've helped to know, if the data is even available, as to how many New Christian families were forced to flee Porto and whether any of the families forced to convert, eventually returned to Judaism after the official end of the Inquisition.”

The only Jewish site we passed was the synagogue and we were unable to go in because it was a Jewish holiday. The guide knew nothing of the Jewish history of Porto and do a little else of the city.”
