Full description

Discover Lisbon and its 3000 years of history, which overflows with influences of Jewish culture. Lisbon’s Jewish community came to develop a unique culture that was the reflection of their total social integration, which was only broken after the Renaissance. Get into the sounds, smells and beauty of Lisbon's ancient alleyways, full of Jewish history. Explore the neighborhoods which was inhabited by the biggest Jewish community in Europe for centuries: Chiado, Baixa and Alfama. Discover why even today you can feel Jewish influences all over the town. Learn why the Jewish community was so important for Portuguese Golden Age of Discoveries and discover more about the Jewish intellectuals, mathematicians and cabalists. At the end of the tour, you will visit the Palácio Pimenta, where we invite you to see the spectacular scale model of Lisbon before the earthquake of 1755.

Daniel was one of the most knowledgeable & personable guides we have ever had. Our stay in Lisbon was greatly enhanced by Daniel’s amazing recall of historical facts & dates. His English is also impeccable. Anyone who is the least bit curious to learn & view more of Lisbon and/or Portugal needs to experience one of his in depth tours. We did the Jewish one & are so glad we did!!!

Daniel was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and super sweet. We had a lovely day and I would highly recommend him for any tour of Lisbon and especially the Jewish tour that we had. I look forward to touring with him on the near future. He is really great and he took good care of my sister and me.
