"Thanks for making so memorable our shore excursion in Rome during our Mediterranean cruise. We enjoyed learning so much that was truly fascinating.

"From the moment we met Stephen Burstin we knew we were in good hands. His affable smile and extensive knowledge of the Jewish presence in Rome made the day extremely enjoyable and informative. Small Hebrew carvings on walls, which would have gone unnoticed by the casual passerby, were explained in detail by Stephen. His tour of the Great Synagogue and its museum was wonderful. I would highly recommend spending a day in the Jewish Ghetto with a most stellar guide"
- DR DAVID KLEIN, Scarsdale, New York
