A pleasant walk-through accompanied by an expert and passionate Jewish guide to two ancient and picturesque neighborhoods of Rome: Jewish ghetto and Trastevere, rich in history and tradition, divided by the river Tiber and the Tiberina Island.
The guided tour of these two districts will take you to the truest Roman atmosphere. Walking through the streets of Rome’s Ghetto and gazing into the eyes of some descendants of those who formerly lived there will give you an idea of the heritage that has been kept to this day. The historic structures where thousands of Jews were imprisoned for decades are all but have almost disappeared.
This tour offers you the chance to learn about the history of the Roman Jewish community through the traces left over the ages by one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world. Buildings like the Theatre of Marcellus and the Portico of Octavia, which date back to the imperial era, to more modern times. You will get the chance to look into the 19th-century synagogue during the tour.
