2 hours long tour about the essential Jewish district!

The Jewish district tour is a tour you cannot miss. For approximately 2 hours, you can learn from your art historian guide about the rich history of the Jewish culture in Italy while walking through what was once a restrictive environment.

Our tour was exceptional. Francesca was an ideal guide--thoughtful, very well informed, and responsive to our many questions.

Yael showed us around. She works in the Jewish Community and knows everybody. Detailed interesting explanation about the Jews in Rome over the centuries backed by great illustrations putting modern landmarks into their historical detail. Walked us around a small Jewish museum explain in detail about the exhibits. Really great tour

Francesca organized a great tour of Rome from a Jewish perspective. Starting with a look at the arch of Titus and ending at the Roman synagogue, the tour covers nearly 2000 years of history from ancient Rome to WWII, with landmarks adding important context. We were also the only people who booked the tour at the time, so there was plenty of personal attention and opportunity to ask questions. Francesca was also very knowledgable about the subject matter.

Francesca was an educated delight! Her English and command of the history of the Jewish Quarter made our experience top-notch. There wasn't a question she couldn't answer and her warm personality didn't hurt either!

We booked this tour last minute after stumbling across the Jewish Ghetto area of Rome while walking around. The history behind the Jewish ghetto is very sad, but intriguing. I cannot give enough positive feedback to our tour guide, Marta. She was amazing! Very friendly and very knowledgeable! We absolutely LOVED this tour!

This was an excellent tour. Francesca from Joy of Rome was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and communicated information very well. We learned quite a lot about this area of Rome and its relevance to early roman history. I very highly recommend this tour.
