We are going to be in Portugal in September and would like to take a Jewish tour in Lisbon or Porto. Has anybody taking any of them? Please give me any recommendations.
Thank you.

Marina, I hope someone with direct experience eventually answers you. A local, Porto-based organization called "At Will Tours" offers a Jewish history tour in Porto. I know there are also a number of others. I took a street art tour with At Will. My impression is that their tour leaders design and lead tours around their particular passion, so this might be worth looking into. On the street art walking tour, in one location, our guide mentioned that the narrow little street we were on was part of the/a Jewish quarter in the middle ages and that there was recent increased tourist interest and local research on the Jewish history of the neighborhood.
