Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. We leaned so much about Jewish history in Argentina and the impressive response to antisemitism in Buenos Aires.

Fernando was a fantastic guide with deep knowledge of the subject matter. In addition, as a local to Buenos Aires, Fernando was able to answer any questions I had beyond the specific subject matter that related to Argentinian subject. I highly recommend!

The most memorable parts were hearing about the history of the Jews in Buenos Aires and Argentina in general and seeing the Synagogue. Would have liked to see the inside of the AMIA building but the incident that occurred there was presented in detail. Also would have liked to see the Israel Embassy but that did not happen.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Hi Jay! Thanks for your comment :)
We provide tours with visits to AMIA, but the institution has strict security measures so we need to call ahead to let them know we're coming. Unfortunately due to security reasons we can't see the new Isreaeli embassy either.
Shabbat Shalom from all the Lunfarda team!

Our guide was fab, English was excellent and full of information /knowledge. Took us to two synagogues and one had a concert in progress which we heard the end of. Had a tasty lunch at one of the kosher shops and took something back for later to eat.
Lived up to expectation and more … guide was Fernando.

Our guide was a brilliant young man who was so knowledgeable about the Jewish people in Argentina. The time flew by and the tour was worth every penny.
