Full description
Your Jewish heritage tour begins by meeting your guide at a central location. Get ready and follow your guide into the hear of Porto's Jewish community. On the journey, learn about how Porto's Jewish history dates back to the 12th century, when its community coexisted harmoniously with local Christians.  Explore the old Jewish quarters, secret synagogues, and all the places where the Jewish influence was strong. Find out where the wealthiest Jews settled and the good trade relations between Jews and Christians. Hear captivating stories about key figures like Captain Arthur Carlos de Barros Basto (Abraham Israel Ben-Rosh), founder of the Porto's Jewish community and the major contributor to the construction of the Kadoorie Mekor Haim synagogue. Continue along Sant'ana Street, Comércio do Porto Street, and S. Bento da Vitória Church. Take in the beauty of Vitória view point, the Esnoga stairs, Virtudes garden, and Jewish Mountain before concluding your tour.

We were delighted to be able to go on this Jewish heritage tour in Porto on a public holiday in August when most things were closed. Our guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable on the subject, which was so close to his heart. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Porto, for those who are interested in Jewish history, and for anyone looking for something not too 'touristy'. Many thanks to Ricardo, our tour guide.

While Porto has limited actual Jewish "stuff to see", Ricardo did a fantastic job of sharing Jewish history in the area, showing us the sites that were there, and providing insights and entertaining stories. He even managed to get us in to see a secret hidden synagogue.

Ricardo was amazing. He truly loves history, and told us fascinating facts and stories. He answered all our questions and took the time to walk us everywhere and to make sure we understood everything! My only complaint is that the company should give the guides something to ensure that they could be identified, and look somewhat professional. We had trouble finding him.
