Amazing tour of Jewish History in Brazil - The tour was amazing. Doris was a fabulous guide. Her English is perfect (she lived in San Diego for a time) and she was highly knowledgeable about both the Jewish history of Brazil and of São Paulo and Brazil in general. I would highly recommend taking this tour with her. My spouse, who is not Jewish and is from Brazil, thoroughly enjoyed it as well.

Amazing tour in Sao Paulo - The whole tour was wonderful. Adi is an amazing tour guide! And an excellent translator. Very few people spoke English and Adi helped us choose what to order in the bakery, explained what was happening at the Synagogue service and translated what the guides were saying at the museum. And he is very friendly, interesting and has a great sense of humor.
