Old Jewish Quarters tour

Discover Jewish Portugal as we travel through the memory of a Jewish past. Uncover the riches of that time in history. Let us guide you for eight days traveling through the heart of soul of Jewish Portugal, searching for Jewish roots.

We will base our tour and cultural visits on Beiras Jewish heritage and how this has been the meeting place of three great cultures and religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

From the end of the 15th century, persecutions, convictions, and forced conversions destroyed these Jewish communities. They became “New Christians” and continued to honor their religion in the secrecy of their homes and orally pass on the prayers resisting assimilation.

This trip is a close look at a heritage of great value. It is not always visible because of multiple destructions and pressures, but we are gradually discovering it.

But we want also to extend your experience of the local culture, history, and gastronomy. So this will be a tour where you will get to know the locals and the culture in this North/Center area of Portugal. So we have prepared unique experiences for you all along the way.

Yuval De-Joannes

My Name is Yuval De-Joannes. I live in Moshav Tzafririm in the Ella Valley and I lead tours throughout the country for over twelve years.

My passion for traveling began in my early school days, when I’ve joined the school of environmental studies in the Negev desert. Upon completing my military service as a paratrooper, and traveling the world for a couple of years, I’ve joined Ben-Gurion University and started my academic life.

First, I’ve achieved a bachelor’s degree in Behavioral sciences, and then through Haifa university, a Master’s degree in Cultural Anthropology. My fieldwork took place in Ireland, on one of the Islands off the west coast, where I stayed for nearly two years.

Upon my return, I tried to put into practice the knowledge of people and history I’ve gained and completed an International tour guiding course, conducted by the Open University, and another tour guiding course conducted by the ministry of tourism. A third course I’ve completed was conducted by the ministry of education. Through the years I’ve received special expertise certificates, from the ministry of tourism in Christianity, Zionism, desert tourism and wine tourism.

From here the road was open to a new career. I’ve decided to focus on Israel, and to put all my energy in exploring it in depth. For me guiding is a passion, if not a call. Every tour I take is different for me. Even if the sites might repeat themselves, they are always fresh for me, cause every time I see them through different eyes, the eyes of those I travel with.

When I’m not guiding I enjoy hiking in Israel and around the world, mountain biking and reading. I guide families and individuals in Hebrew, English and Italian, and offer a wide range of focal points – theological, archaeological, historical, botanical, geological and more. It could be a day tour or a full package tour, all customized to your needs and desires. I use a luxurious Mercedes van, so you can be sure to travel in comfort and safety.
