A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourIrina is a charming girl who was well versed in the Jewish life in Moscow. She shared a photo of her handsome Jewish grandfather who served in the army. Our tour was on a Saturday so we got to experience services in the synagogues. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Irina and would recommend her highly.
