Joan gave us a fascinating tour that covered the history of the Jewish Ghetto and the area, including religious, political and architectural history.
Andrea_W, Mar 2026
It was okay. I would have liked more info and history on the actual neighborhoods. The guide seemed to just point out things here and there and didn't seem like he had a plan for the tour.

We had a wonderful tour with Brian. He is friendly, fun, and engaging, and he shares stories that reflect his deep personal connection to the local culture. Throughout the tour he kept a great atmosphere and made the experience truly enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Yash was our guide. He was amazing, very knowledgeable. A unique experience learning about the Jewish ghetto. Our guide also gave personal recommendations for authentic restaurants as well as some must see hidden gems (free to do). I would highly recommend this tour.

Brian was great! Friendly, funny and knowledgeable! We saw parts of Rome we wouldn’t have seen and heard history of Roman Jews we wouldn’t have heard without this tour. Terrific experience!

Great tour. Brian was one of the best guides we ever had. After - we had a snack with him and he helped us make a dinner reservation at a hard to get table. He was personable, knowledgeable and fun to tour with. Highly recommended!
Daleen_T, May 2025
Rebecca was a fabulous guide, giving just the right amount of interesting information to digest and to keep us engaged and intrigued. Her knowledge and passion for history is inspiring. Especially the Jewish Ghetto was humbling, rather emotional and thought provoking. She was also very kind as to point out her favourite restaurants in the Ghetto. Thank you for a traveler-experience (rather thankful a tourist experience).

Julie_K, Jan 2025
Our guide Brian was excellent. He was so knowledgeable about Roman history and what happened in the Jewish Ghetto. We were fascinated as we walked and he pointed out landmarks. He also let us stop at a small Jewish bakery and buy bake goods. I highly recommend this tour.
Ashley_T, Dec 2024
We had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Amber. She was fabulous. Knowledgeable, passionate, and an absolute joy to experience Rome with!!!
Sarah_S, Dec 2024
While our tour guide was lovely and prompt, it became readily apparent that she did not know very much about the Jewish Ghetto area or Jewish life in Rome. She also didn't speak much Italian which made translating signs (including the memorial plaque to the Jews rounded up and transported to the Concentration Camps) near impossible. She did not point out Hebrew street signs, and seemed to miss some important landmarks that we noticed ourselves. Trastevere looked like an interesting area, but there were long periods of just walking without information. Don't take this tour if you actually want to learn about the Jewish Ghetto area, & about Jewish life then & now in Rome.
Grant_D, Nov 2024
Yash was great and took his time sharing this neighborhood and history with our family. Great idea and tour
Ellen_G, Nov 2024
I expected a Jewish guide for the Jewish Ghetto. Sofia was very sweet but her English wasn't good enough to describe the treatment of Jews nor did she have the shared heritage to truly recreate the horrors. I wanted to go to the synagogue but we crossed to Testevere and spent more time on things I was less interested in. I booked a tour at 9:45 as I knew museum would close for Shabbat but was moved to 11:15 and caught the last synagogue tour but not much time for museum The Nazi/Holocaust museum was already closed so I missed that too 😞
Response from Host, Nov 2024
We are sorry that the tour did not live up to your expectations. It's a walking tour of the Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere and not Jewish Ghetto specifically.
Sonia has master's degree in Art History as well as Roman History and speaks perfect English.
Lastly, you agreed to have your reservation moved to 11:15.
Terri_B, Sep 2024
Very interesting to hear about the history of the Jewish ghetto before and after world war 2. Our guide Martina was very good. In Trastevere she pointed out the main sites and helped us get street food.
Kathryn_S, Sep 2024
What a fabulous first experience for our visit to Rome! As it happened, our walking tour “group” was just two of us (my friend and I), so our tour was special in that regard. Arianna was our tour guide and she was absolutely the most fantastic tour guide we’ve ever met. She was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, fun and energetic - her love for Rome is palpable! Arianna was able to answer all of our questions — her grasp of history was so impressive and she also shared a great deal about current affairs as well, giving us a much better perspective of both the past and the present. We learned a great deal and saw everything we wanted to see AND MORE! At the end of our tour, she wrote down a list of suggestions for us such as where to find the best fried artichoke, the most authentic Italian meals and more. We could have spent the entire day with her — it was just THAT wonderful a time. If you are considering a tour of the Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere, don’t hesitate to book this one. My hope is that you are able to have your tour with Arianna, because she is absolutely the BEST!!!
Sarah_S, Sep 2024
I was at our meeting point 15 minutes early. Usually people start trickling in for a tour shortly after. No one was coming. At our set meeting time, Yash came and informed me I was the only one signed up! This surprised and impressed me before we even started the tour. I would have assumed that he would have cancelled since it was just me. Yash was awesome, we toured and talked and he answered all my questions. He is a very kind, smart young man. I would recommend this tour to anyone! It was nice to learn more about the Jewish Ghetto and the history of how it all evolved!
Seth_P, Sep 2024
Arianna’s passion and energy were a wonderful soundtrack to our morning walk! Loved her stories and insights.

History of Jewish ghetto
Martina the guide was patient and knowledgeable. Recommend this guided tour
Sylvia_R, Jul 2024
Martina was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited. We ( my husband and I) were particularly interested in the Jewish section of Rome, and she told us a lot about the history and about what happened to the people who had lived there during the occupation in World War II. We highly recommend this tour and Martina.
