Our tour with Daniel was excellent. First, we appreciated that even though we were the only ones that booked, that the tour proceeded, unlike several experiences over the years (including in Sintra) where a tour was cancelled due to low bookings.
Daniel gave us a great understanding of the areas and history of the Jewish experience and outcomes of Porto and Portugal’s history. Still am not sure how it can be that someone with the name Daniel Levy is not actually Jewish himself, but it made for an interesting back-story of how he got into personally learning the history of the Jews there and has a deep knowledge and understanding able to answer any questions.
The most interesting element was his being able to arrange to visit a seniors ‘day care’ space where 20 years ago, a 16th century torah of a hidden synagogue (during the inquisition times) had been found hidden behind a false wall in what had been a home and is now detailed with information.
Highly recommend and would suggest that increased promotion will ensure higher demand.
