We'll explore the history of the Jewish people in Argentina, from its colonial times to modernity. As we navigate the history of a 200,000+ collective, we'll explore the neighborhoods of Once, Tribunales and Retiro.
We'll go beyond religious tradition as we explore how politics and the broad history of Argentina shaped and made it's Jewish population into what it is today.
Throughout our action-packed tour, we'll see AMIA, known as "the mother institution" of Jewish life in Argentina, which was targeted by a terrorist attack in the 90s, and visit the Jewish Museum and Libertad Synagogue. We will explore Once, a Jewish neighborhood and bulk trading district, strolling through synagogues, quinceañera party supply shops and fabric vendors. We will go to what we call "Diversity Corner": a place where just by standing 5 minutes, you'll witness all the diversity BA can showcase.
Please remember to bring your original passport, and comfortable shoes as we'll be walking over 4 kilometres!

We had an absolutely fabulous tour and a wonderful day with Melanie! She was so interesting in explaining the incredible Jewish history, the triumphs and tragedies of the Jewish Peoples of Argentina and the City of Buenos Aires! We were totally intrigued by the wonderful stories that Melanie told while guiding us through (including a subway ride) the city. Melanie explained everything so well as we visited each sight and throughout our walk. We were so moved by the visit to the AMIA building and the stories that Melanie explained about the tragic bombing; standing near the Hospital's Mural and hearing about the rescue and recovery after the bombing.; the visit to the Buenos Aires Jewish Museum and the most beautiful synagogue, and so much more including a visit to the memorial at the Israeli Embassy bombing. Each place and the stories that Melanie told were incredible and the history became alive as she explained every place we visited. Melanie speaks absolutely perfect English and is so interesting, intelligent and a perfect guide for this incredible tour! Don't miss this wonderful experience!
