Interesting two hours

Guide is excellent but there is not really that much too see. Essentially, a history lesson not a great deal that’s current; for example , no admission to synagogue.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. It was a pleasure to meet you both and to share the history of the City of London’s Jewish community with you. This walking tour is very much a historical experience, as described in the listing, focused on uncovering 1,000 years of Jewish life in the Square Mile. Sadly, very little physical evidence from the medieval Jewish community has survived, but I do my best to bring this hidden history to life through storytelling, visual aids and by highlighting subtle markers like historic street names that still echo that presence today. While I understand your disappointment about not visiting inside a synagogue, this is not currently included in the experience and is not listed in the tour description. I’m hopeful that when the synagogue reopens to the public, I’ll be able to incorporate it into the tour. If you're ever back in London, I’d love to welcome you again and share even more of this story with you!
