Rome Private Jewish Ghetto Tour

Throughout Europe you can find a large number of Jewish ghetto remains, however, none are as old as the one in Rome. This completely private tour will only involve you and your companions for a completely personalised experience. In addition, if there are more than 6 of you, you will be provided with headphones so that you can listen to the tour guide at all times. In this way, you will enjoy around 3 hours touring the streets and the remains of the Jewish culture that lived in this city even before Christ.

Specifically, this visit includes the Portico of Octavia which houses two temples dedicated to Jupiter and Juno. Another stop is the Theatre of Marcellus which is a smaller, earlier version of the Colosseum. The Fountain of the Turtles is also a must-see. At this location you will be able to see, thanks to its commemorative plaques, how in 1947 2000 of the 7000 people who were part of the Jewish community in Rome were forcibly taken away. You will surely want to take a photo in front of the Rome Synagogue, which is one of the largest in Europe.

In addition, in the basement of this synagogue you will also visit the Jewish Museum of Rome, which you will also be able to access with a guided tour. This way, you will not only be able to see the ruins and ancient monuments of this civilisation in person, but you will also learn all about its history in different countries and eras.
