Amazing tour

Sergio_P, Aug 2023

This is an amazing tour! Motti was very good in explaining everything about the Haredim and answered to any questions we had. He is extremely knowledgeable and even brought us to experience one of the best Jewish food in the neighbourhood. I highly recommend it, this is a must go tour if you’re interested in the Jewish culture. Very informative and I’ve learned a lot.

This tour guide was knowledgeable from the inside out! He knew everything and shared info at a good clip. Walked through, stopped often to tell us very important facts. Fascinating facts about a lifestyle and life we knew nothing about. Must take this tour for better understanding!

Very misleading tour , not as advertised.

Rona_G, Apr 2019

This tour offered nothing that was advertised. The guide was knowledgeable but he just walked around with us. The tour advertised to visit a haredi family , did not happen , tour advertised 4 hours , only 3, tour advertised enjoy some pasteries , did not happen , tour advertised visit a synagogue , did not happen. Tour advertised visit a library , did not happen. Truly it was a waste of time and totally misleading. We could have walked around on our own. VERY DISAPPOINTING !!!!!

Der Tour Leiter war Prima. Die Tour...

Ralf_E, Mar 2018

Der Tour Leiter war Prima. Die Tour Beschreibung entsprach jedoch nicht der Realität. Es wurde keine lokale Familie besucht, eine Synagoge wurde nur durch das Fenster betrachtet und des Essen in einem Imbiss musste Extra bezahlt werden.
