Ana C. Portugal Tour Reviews
“Engaging and thorough walking tour of Porto's ancient Jewish history.”
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Ana. She was very knowledgeable about the subject matter, and she told us fascinating engaging stories. She was able to show us some of the key areas of Porto's old Jewish history, but because there are only traces remaining, she gave us the full background and explanations. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning about this subject matter.
