Fantastic private tour of Jewish neighborhood

Sherrie_C, Jun 2026

Our Jewish tour of Athens was outstanding, thanks to Angela. Her knowledge of Jewish history and culture brought every site to life, and she made the experience both informative and enjoyable. What impressed me most was how accommodating she was regarding my multiple sclerosis. She thoughtfully adjusted the pace, made sure I had opportunities to sit and stay in the shade, and ensured I was comfortable throughout the tour. At the same time, she incorporated plenty of historical detail to satisfy my husband’s love of history. Angela perfectly tailored the experience to our interests and needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a meaningful and personalized Jewish tour of Athens.

Great tour of the Jewish community in Athens

Annabel_G, May 2026

Very interesting tour of Jewish life in Athens. Great to hear that Jews here feel very safe today. As elsewhere in Europe, horrifying to see and hear what the Nazi’s did to the Jewish Community and others, but grateful to the many Greeks who helped the Jews escape and took them in

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. It was a pleasure sharing the history of Jewish life in Athens with you. The story of the Jewish community during WWII is heartbreaking, but also inspiring because of the many Greeks who helped Jews escape and survive during the Nazi occupation. Today, Athens remains a safe and welcoming place, where Jewish heritage and history continue to be an important part of the city’s culture.

This was a wonderful tour...

Natalie_F, May 2026

This was a wonderful tour with an outstanding tour guide. Angela not only educated us on Jewish Heritage abut also gave us a lot of information on Greece. She spent nearly 4 hours with us. This is one of the best tours we've ever taken. My thanks to Angela for this experience.

Jewish Tour of Athens

Paul_H, Feb 2025

Angela was both enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable about Greek Jewish culture and history , she spent extra time with us and was relaxed and refreshing to spend a half day walking Athens. Her unique background and life experiences and travel aided her presentation and communication skills. One highlight was visiting the Synagogue!! We highly recommend this tour and guide!!
