45 min - Dit første stop er Beth Haim jødiske kirkegård, indviet i 1659, det er den ældste kaukasiske kirkegård på øen og på den vestlige halvkugle. Webstedet er også et Curacao National Monument. Så vil du besøge et andet historisk sted, der også er oprettet som et fredeligt fristed, Rooi Catootje plantagehus. Det dateres til omkring 1820 og blev oprindeligt kendt som "Rust en Vrede", som oversættes som "Resten og Fred." Huset har været Maduro-familien siden 1853. Huset er nu bevaret som museum
30 min - ejes af en jødisk familie, hvor der produceres Curacao-spiritus. Tour huset og lær mere om familienavnet og historien. Før du tager afsted, benyt lejligheden til at nyde prøver af dette berømte lokale produkt
køre gennem det gamle jødiske kvarter Scharloo, hvor du vil kunne se alle de gamle farverige bygninger og slavehuse.
45 min - Guidet tur inde i synagogen for et up-close kig på det religiøse liv på Curacao. Den jødiske tro er blevet praktiseret her uden afbrydelse siden 1732, og en menighed er endnu ældre, der er blevet oprettet i 1651. Den meget frygt for forfølgelse er, hvad der førte mange af Curaçao's tidligste jødiske beboere til at flytte til øen i første omgang. De var med rette mere end lidt bevogtet over deres tro, selv efter at de havde oprettet deres menighed og bygget deres synagoger næsten et århundrede senere.

We had originally booked this tour through a third party and unfortunately, our cruise had a port change and we would NOT be in until later in the day and that would have interfered with being able to see all the items on the itinerary. I canceled my original reservation and reached out directly to Aida Travel and they were more than willing to set up a tour and try to get to as many of the same sites as possible due to some closing times. We arrived in port, but the ship had issues clearing customs and getting everything in place to for us to get off until 30 minutes late. We met up with Rossanna at the Internet/Private tours tent and she teamed up with Jude for our private tour! Jude had was very knowledgeable and nice and he also had a great young man(sorry do not remember his name) with him learning the ins and outs of the tour with us. Both were outstanding and offered insights about how Jewish life influenced the island and some local customs. The only stop we were not able to make was at Beth Haim Bleinheim due to our late arrival and was no fault of our guides. Our highlight was the visit to the Mikve Israel-Emanuel Synagogue. We toured the synagogue and the museum there and were impressed with all that we saw. This is on our bucket list of synagogues to visit as we have already been to Hebrew Congregation of St. Thomas. Jude also showed us the Shaarei Tsedek Jewish Center and other Jewish building through out Willemstad. We also had a stop at the 17th-century plantation house Chobolobo, owned by a Jewish family, where Curacao liquor is produced. A nice stop to learn how the liquor is made and the samples were nice as well. This was an outstanding tour and one I would recommend to anyone looking at how Jewish life influences a local places and Jewish history.
Interesting history of Jewish life in Curaçao.. Ralph knows his stuff. If you have an interest in Jewish history- this is for you.
They had a very interesting tour. It was Avery interesting tour. There was a lot to see there. It was most interesting. They had all the information at the synagogue.
Upon arriving for the tour Aida Matos, the Aida of Aida Travel Services, informed us that our tour was cancelled because the tour guide was ill and the replacement was unavailable. Aida immediately told us that we would receive a full refund and that her City Tour would provide us with a part of the tour that was cancelled. She said that there would be no charge for this tour. We took the tour and the guide, Leonardo, was exceptional and informative. We were very impressed with how professionally this was handled.
Our tour guide, Jude, was great. Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We had to make some adjustments due to COVID closures, but Jude did a good job of substituting different sites. The Aida guides met us at the dock - it was very easy.
