Jewish Tour of Lisbon will be one of the highlights of your trip We booked our tour of Jewish Lisbon through essenciaalatitude.com.
From recommendations of others we requested that our guide be Diogo.
To say the least, we were not disappointed. We look back at this tour with Diogo to be the highlight of our trip. His knowledge of the history of the Jews in Portugal cannot be underestimated. He was professional, warm and friendly and fun to be with. We learned so much not only about the history of the Jews in Portugal but also about the history of Portugal then and now. He pointed out small, but extremely important details that we would not have noticed. As a matter of fact, a group was near us and their guide missed this. A member overheard our guide and brought his friends back.
Diogo did something that no other guide has ever done. The next day we received an email from him with a reading list and review of each place we visited.
Jewish or not, if you are interested in history don’t miss this tour and don’t miss having Diogo as your guide.

May in Berlin Sharon was an excellent guide. Knowledgeable, friendly and very engaged. Highly recommend her as a guide in Berlin to any group or couple

Deeply moving We had a private tour with Tal. We thought she was professional and very knowledgeable about the neighborhood. As an Israeli, she has a unique but educated perspective on Jewish history. The tour brought us closer to our roots. Pay close attention to the gold squares embedded in the sidewalks. Very moving.

Very insightful tour! This was a wonderful tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about pre-WWII Jewish life in Berlin. Our guide also was very good at modifying the tour to reflect our interests---with less emphasis on the Holocaust itself, and more on the people who lived in the Jewish sector. We got excellent insights into a culture that's part of our family history, even seeing schools that relatives likely attended. Excellent!!!

Surprising We took the tour with Yael P and she had a lot of knowledge about the history of Berlin and agricultural, she aligned the tour to the group and gave her perspective to Berlin. We was a small Hopi which was great : we came with low expectations and came out very satisfied: recommended

Jewish Berlin tour We joined a tour of Jewish Berlin guided by Tamar.
A fun and fascinating trip, many places we would never have reached without Tamar's guidance.
Tamar is a massive resource of knowledge from all around and with her fascinating guidance we were left speechless.
Highly recommend.

Don't miss it!!! We had almost r hours with Nadav. It was fascinating and we enjoyed any minute!!!
His historical knowledge, the special family point of view, made this tour one of a kind!!!

An amazing private tour An amazing, mind opening private tour with Nadav. Highly recommended. Every corner has a story, and the passion of telling them makes you love Berlin.

A guide like no other Nadav is an extra ordinary tour guide. We had an almost five hour walking tour of city center Berlin with the most in depth and thought provoking points of view. Bringing his own family history into the fold and adding to it a thorough historical background- made what seemed an ordinary tour- breathtaking.
In addition to being friendly , kind and modest. He gave us the stories behind the headlines and answered all our questions and requests. Highly recommended.

Great experience Great experience overall.
Communication before was helpful and quick.
Gali the tour guide was amazing.
Highly recommend.

Great! Our private tour with dapna was amazing! We have learned so much she could tell us everything about the history of Berlin and beyond. We loved every single minute of the 4 hours tour!

Interesting and detailed We had a great time with our guide who was amazing at taking us around the city.

we got to see everything we wanted and it was a great introduction to the city.

Very Informative Tour of Jewish Berlin We did a private Jewish tour of Berlin with Oren. Oren was a very knowledgeable young man who taught us a great deal about the history of Jews in Berlin from the Middle Ages to present day Berlin. We visited some interesting sites and heard some great stories about the people of Berlin, past and present. Oren arrived on time at our scheduled meeting point and he went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we needed to see. I would highly recommend this tour.

Thoughtful and insightful look at Berlin Nadav was a wonderful guide. He gave us a good overall history of Berlin, from its establishment to today, with information about the geopolitics and economic forces that shaped it.

Most of our tours was spent looking at and talking about significant sites from 1914, and the beginning of the First World War, until 1989 and the fall of the Berlin Wall. I especially enjoyed Nadav's perspective on the rise of National Socialism -- while Hitler was central, it's important to explore why a nation of seventy million, that produced Goethe and Luther, a country of philosophers and artists and scientists, became a nation that committed mass murder.

We went by, but didn't have time to visit, the new Topography of Terror museum, which looks at the perpetrators of the Holocaust, rather than its victims. Who were they? How were they raised? What did they do before they took their jobs organizing and performing the Holocaust? I look forward to visiting that museum, too.

It was an informative and interesting day that genuinely made me think.

Perfect berlin guide Nadav Genius guide, walking encyclopedia, perfect message delivery ability, intriguing tutorial, Highly recommended

Tal Natalie Shifrin - guide I’m writing to commend Tal Shifrin. Having traveled to 60 countries, it’s not surprising that I’ve encountered numerous guides. Few however compare to her. Not only does she have a broad range of knowledge and an ability to go deep beneath the surface, but Tal also has a way of delivering what is often a most difficult message in a most professional and most sensitive manner. Hers is an increasingly important job during these increasingly decisive times and anyone lucky enough to take her tour will come away in awe.

TAL NATALIE SHIFRIN WAS A MASTERFUL, LEARNED, PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY TOUR GUIDE!!! Tal is everything any group visiting Germany could hope for in a tour guide. She was intelligent, engaging, professional and anticipated every need of our group. We were so fortunate to have had her as our guide and didn't want to return home to the United States. She maintained her unique presence as our professional guide while, all the time, making us feel she was simply a 'part of our touring family'. When you tour Germany, ask for her by name!!
