Knowledgeable and relatable - Sara was punctual, accommodating and honest. She is able to relate different parts of ghetto to different historical events in history of roman jews and Jewish history in Italy. There is an abundance of infirmation frim a erspective of a member of Roman Jrwish community member. Recommend!!

Wonderful, knowledgeable guide - This tour, lead by Sara, exceeded our expectations. Every stop came alive with the 2000+ years' history of the Jewish people in Rome. The architecture, the religious objects made for use in synagogue. Native Italian Jews and those expelled or migrated from other countries practiced in their own ways. Sarah's knowledge is vast and she explains things clearly. She is passionate about her Jewish Italian roots and this comes through in her presentations. We have been on many tours and highly recommend this one.

Sara and her tour were SUPERB!! - Sara was absolutely terrific. She had the necessary background to speak about the subject with great specificity and care. In fact, she was willing to she her family’s personal story, which goes way back and is fascinating. She is Italian, but her English was perfect. In fact, her use of several Hebrew and Yiddish phrases, sayings and prayer excerpts was exceptional. She not only answered questions, but encouraged them. Didn’t feel rushed or just like “another customer” at all. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Sara!!

Outstanding Experience - This tour of the Jewish Ghetto and Synagogue was an absolute highlight of our trip to Italy. I can't say enough about Sarah Terracina. She was exceptional and shared the history of the Ghetto, events during the war (including her own family's history), the current Jewish community in Rome, and so much more. We recommend her to anyone traveling in Rome, whether it reflects your own heritage or whether you want to understand this important part of Italy's history and story.
