Porto - Jewish Heritage Walking Tour

I thought I'd get ahead of the game and book this for next week, but our dates are SOLD OUT. Does anyone have any good alternative recommendations? The other tours I see have only a small number of reviews, or are expensive, private tours. I see you can visit the synagogue, Jewish Museum and Holocaust Museum. Any ideas?

I just googled this tour (we'd sure love to take it too !) there are a few companies offering this tour, seems the one you chose is sold out, but I found others...

You don't state a date you want for this tour...so not sure this will help.

I'm sure you can probably do this on your own as well, with a little research. I had no idea of the Jewish history in Porto, I plan to get more info and do our own walking tour when we are there in a few weeks...

I wish we had known about this walking tour when we were in Porto 5 years ago! If we had known we would have extended our stay following the RS Tour. We are interested in Jewish History and have done both private as well as small group tours in many countries. I skimmed some former threads and found this.https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/portugal/day-tours-in-porto
Don’t know if the tour mentioned is the one you were considering? Hope you find a tour.

Yes, I saw that one - also booked! I had no idea I needed to book so far in advance, I want it for a week from today. Maybe they'll have another one if there's a lot of interest, just use a second guide. I only read about these tours recently, but we're very interested.

Maybe we'll see how expensive a private tour is. Although I'm sure we can find a good walking tour to do ourselves.
