Loved this tour. Micaela was informative, warm, and funny. It personalized the whole experience for me. Micaela was recommended to me by a friend who had taken the tour the prior year and my expectations were high. She exceeded them! It absolutely would not have been as meaningful had I visited the Jewish Ghetto and synagogue without Micaela. More

We did 3 tours with this company on 3 consecutive days. Micaela was on maternity leave but she arranged us 3 different guides. We first did the Ancient Rome tour which was great - the Colluseum, Arch of Titus and Roman Forum. Then the Jewish Ghetto. And finally the Vatican. The tours were all given from a Jewish perspective.

It's hard to find something fresh to say about this highly informative, entertaining and enjoyable tour. We were very fortunate to have our tour led by Micaela, who more than lived up to the reputation built through the previous reviews. We were travelling in a group of 10 and this tour, early in our trip, became the benchmark for others... More

All the other reviews I have read on this site rave about Micaela, and I am sure with good reason.Because Micaela has just had a baby(mazaltov!) we had the pleasure of having Sarah as our guide, and it was indeed a pleasure! I am a tour guide myself(in Israel) and I know that genuine enthusiasm for the subject is just... More

It is worth taking this tour just to meet Micaela. She is as delightful as she is knowledgeable. Her insights into Roman history, Jewish Roman history, the ghetto and the struggles of its people, and the Roman Jews relationship with the papacy are fascinating. The synagogue and the Jewish museum are worthy of more than a single visit. After the... More

I was fortunate to take a wonderful tour of the Jewish Ghetto with Micaela of Jewish Roma Tours. The were only three of us in the group and we all agreed that it did not feel like an organized tour, but instead, like a close friend showing us around. Michaela is a very engaging and humorous guide, with an endless... More

It was our first visit to Rome. So, why did we choose to have a Vatican Tour from with a Jewish perspective? Apparently, the Jewish community of Rome is older or as old as most of the touristic sights of Rome, older then the Vatican, the fountains and the palaces and even older then the Colosseum... and even some famous...

Micaela led a group of seven tourists through the Rome synagogue and surroundings. She was multi-lingual, engaging, patient, insightful, passionate, humorous, ironic. Even after having read tour books and related websites, I was awestruck by the eye-opening experience of Jewish Roma Tours. I can barely wait to return for more! This time I took my father, next time I'll take... More

Micaela, our guide, is a product of the Jewish community of Rome. Her degree in history adds to the depth with which she led us through the Synagogue, and the ghetto neighborhood. Everywhere we went, shopkeepers and local Jewish inhabitants ran over to greet Micaela and kiss her. She is a local treasure, and has an enthusiastic manner and charm.... More

We took both the catacombs and ghetto tours on our first visit to Rome. The guides (Micaela and Sara) both come from families with long histories in Rome. They were passionate, knowledgeable and extremely warm and personable. It felt like we were on a personal tour with old friends. These were my favorite tours during our entire time in Europe! More
