From the arrival of the community in Mexico along the conquistadors, five hundred years ago, and the fateful ending of some at the stake, to the neighborhood where the second wave of migration established themselves at the turn of the 20th century, amazing history will unravel as we share the advancement of the newcomers from tailors and seamstresses to the developed textile and jewelry industries which led to the establishing of Mexico's modern financial system. We end by learning of the abandonment of temples and the moving to better areas of town.

Good content although not all factually current. Affable but with an edge. History of Mexico worth the price but Socratic method not useful.

A wonderfully intricate and unhurried context in which to appreciate the Jewish experience in Mexico City.

The synagogue is a treasure. What a surprise. Our guide Carlos was so passionate and informed. Although not born into the Jewish faith he feels connected to the Jewish community and had many Jewish friends

This tour was very interesting, and Carlos, our guide, gave a lively and engaging history of the Jews in Mexico. We had forgotten that it ended with WW II and were a little disappointed that we learned almost nothing about the present-day Jewish community, but in fact that was not Carlos's fault, as the tour explicitly says it covers Conquistadors to WW II.

Carlos was an excellent guide . We throughly enjoyed this tour. He is very knowledgable and gave us history of Mexico before the Spanish arrived and after. You don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy this trip.

Carlos Sanchez was a fantastic guide. Very personable, knowledgeable, engaging and very willing to share. We both learned so much about the Jewish community in Mexico from the 1500s through to the present. The most tragic period that of the Inquisition in Estadios Unidos de México. One of the most interesting was visiting the Ashkenazi synagogue in the Lower East Side of Historico Centro Ciudad Mexico.

Simply very interesting!! Apart from all the information and the way in which Carlos the guide shared all his knowledge, the opportunity is taken to learn more about the history, architecture and idiosyncrasies of the country. I simply adored it.
