Great and informative tour! - Burack was a fountain of historical knowledge. Our conversation ranged far and wide and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a great addition tour of Andalusia and I highly recommend it to anyone who is trying to learn about the history of this beautiful and fascinating region.

Interesting tour through history - We really enjoyed spending time with Baruch and learned so much about Spanish history and where the Jews fit into this story. Baruch has a solid knowledge of the history of Spain as well as Europe and the Americas. He was so easy to talk to and we truly enjoyed our evening together.

Explore the history of the city - We really appreciated our guide because through this tour we learn deeply the history of the communities of the city. Not only the Jewish community but a general view of what happened before and after the Christian’s reconquista! With humour and positive energy, he makes us feel like home.

Excellent, engaging tour - This was the highlight of our trip! Baruch is engaging from the first minute. He adapted to our level of knowledge about Spanish history and religion (or lack thereof) without any judgement - and was respectful and welcoming of even our most simple questions. We learned so much in the nearly 3 hour tour, and I could have happily listened to Baruch for another 2 hours. It was great for our teen, too. I will definitely recommend this tour to any friends or family visiting Granada

Great Guide - Fascinating History - What a fascinating and engaging tour of Jewish Granada. Baruch was an excellent guide that shared his knowledge and expertise of local history. He was also someone who was able to place the Jewish history of Granada into a broader historical context of Spain and world Jewish history. He brought us to fascinating parts of the city - from a lookout in the hills above the Alhambra, through walking the Albaycin - interpreting the various sites along the way. A highlight of our time in Andalusia.

Fascinating Tour - Baruch is an extraordinary tour guide. His depth of knowledge and ability to relate to different levels of understanding of Jewish history as well as his ability to explain a universal view of the history of Granada made the tour a truly memorable one. Baruch has real insight into the inter-relationships among Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

Good experience - Baruch was engaging and informative. He knows a lot about the history and is personable. We enjoyed the tour quite a bit. It's a history tour not specifically Jewish history.
