Guidekin's take

The Jewish Ghetto with an official guide from Rome's own Jewish community, inside the Great Synagogue and the Jewish Museum rather than just past them, rated 4.9 across 177 reviews.

Entry tickets and the guided visit are included at €140 per person, tips are not. Needs a few bookings to run; if the synagogue is closed the guide explains it from outside.

In our comparison: #20 of 45 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
