This was a great experience! Our guide, Josh, is a magnificent oral storyteller of history and culture. He is very knowledgeable as well. It was the hottest day of the year! However, he made sure that we stayed hydrated and he got us in the shade as often as he could. The food was interesting and good. There were 14 in group, the youngest was 13 and the oldest was 91 and everyone was happy. Would definitely do more tours like this, especially with Josh.
I have a strong background in Eastern European Jews in America so I was not sure if this would be basically info. I already know. However, I was very pleased with our guide Jillian, and her supervisor, Brian. They were knowledgable, considerate and flexible. It was an excellent experience that I will recommend to others. I learned and enjoyed-- particularly being in a small group of 7 others who hailed from Finland, Israel, Ireland and Australia. Talking to them and seeing their impressions made it all the more enjoyable. Great experience.
Evan, our tour guide, was great -- informative, friendly and extremely helpful! The food samples were all delicious and authentic to the neighborhoods that we visited. You definitely get plenty to sample :D You also get to walk A LOT so dress accordingly. Overall, great tour that I would recommend if you really want to know about the neighborhoods and taste yummy eats!
