Fascinating tour

This is a great tour. Ricardo is extremely knowledgeable and very informative over what is a of course a profoundly depressing story of intolerance and persecution .

Hidden history in plain sight

Excellent, detailed tour with a passionate guide (Riccardo) who knows his material very well. He covered the full span of Jewish history in Porto, and showed us hidden details we would never find on our own. It's a beautiful route down small alleys at a leisurely pace. Highly recommended.
