A wonderful tour with Leonardo, a charming and knowledgeable guide, whose English was perfect. We experienced more of Jewish Rio than we had dared to hope for. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Wonderful and enlightening Rio tour encompassing synagogues, points of Jewish interest, and incorporating Jewish history of area. Leonardo, our guide, was a delight-knowledgeable and charming and full of information and stories.
