Diamond Exchange Private Tour

The Israeli Diamond Exchange, holds the title of the world’s largest diamond exchange, and we at Tours4U, boast of being the only company that provides tours of this hidden part of the Israeli economy.  

The high stakes and sensitive security of the Diamond Exchange means that all guests of the exchange provide passport identification, fingerprints and photos to be used in facial recognition.

The tour guides you through the birth of a polished diamond, by witnessing first hand rough diamonds being polished into the finest of gemstones, in one of Israel’s diamond cutting factories. We see diamond cutters who have been cutting and polishing diamonds for over 50 years, and are of the best cutters worldwide, busy creating their beloved work.

The tour then takes you through to the highly exclusive exchange trading floor. We comprehensively teach you all the particulars of the IDE. We witness the members of the exchange in animated negotiations, buying and trading Israeli diamonds that will then be sent and sold worldwide.

The last stop of the tour is a meeting with a master diamantaire, Mr. Hanan Savranksy. Hanan is a third-generation gemologist, and an exclusive member of the exchange, whose creations are not only ingeniously designed but are of the highest quality and style.

The cutting of the diamond, the jewelry designs and stone settings are done exclusively by Hanan, making Savransky Private Jeweler’s one of the only jewelry designers whose entire pieces are created, designed and crafted by one person alone.

Portuguese Jewish Heritage

During 3 hours, I will show and explain the Jewish occupation and its historical evolution in Porto and Portugal. From the high medieval times until today.

The main subjects will be the medieval períod and peaceful one. The Jewish quarter construction and how the history gets grey. The conversos or “Cristãos Novos” and the lack of religious freedom. The inquisition and its terrible impact. And, finally, the local community after the XX century.

Since I started to give this tour my main concern was to offer good and correct information. After giving this tour dozens of times, I can affirm that my public was the most important challenge and “tool” for my success because each doubt and each question were and still are important.

At a calm pace, I will provide you a tour as we planned or am ready to adapt to some preferences and be able to listen to your question, so we can share stories and have an excellent tour together.
