Very personable guide. Very open with us. She gave us a very good view of the Russian Jewish community.
The tour is comprehensive. Elena was punctual, kind, knowledgeable and professional. We walked about 14 km that day and also took the Metro. All before 2:30 pm. Great workout!
We had atwo-person Jewish Heritage our with Julieta. Within a short time, we felt that she was a friend and not just a guide. She was very flexible in changing around what had been originally planned to include other sites that we wanted to see. Because of that, we were able to accomplish all of our goals for that day--Holocaust Memorial, three synagogues, Museum of Tolerance. I'm a historian, and already knew most of the history of Moscow and Russian Jewry, yet this tour added much to my knowledge of this area.
