Overview

Jewish people always played a substantial role in Hamburg's history. Sephardic traders from Portugal settled here in the 17th century; wealthy Jewish bankers and businessmen took the stage two centuries later, while great scholars, such as Joseph Carlebach, formed the spiritual part of the community. Jewish Hamburg Tour will go through both the glorious and the darkest days of Jewish history and provide you with lots of historical insights, many of which will certainly leave you surprised. Being a part of Hamburg's Jewish community, and passionate about both its history and future, I'd love to give you my personal take on it and answer all the questions you might have. I am more than willing to customize this tour according to your preferences, please contact me for a customized tour.

Really good tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Absolutely brilliant tour with Ian. Excellent English and incredible knowledge. The tour was bespoke and we felt really catered for. We went over the time limit but Ian was not worried at all and more than happy for this to happen. We also felt Ian handled what could have been very awkward subject matter in a personable and friendly way; it must be hard to get the balance right but he judged it perfectly. He also tailored the tour for us and we ended up at our relatives' Stoloperstein. We can't recommend Ian strongly enough.

Excellent, fully customizable tour

Published on Jul, 2024

Impressive is RIGHT! We absolutely loved our private tour of Jewish Hamburg with Ian. He is so knowledgeable! He knew so much about everything—the history of Hamburg (both Jewish and non) as well as present-day Hamburg and Germany in general. I have no doubt that he could fill 5 hours of touring and still not impart all of his knowledge! His English is amazing. He speaks on a native level. What really brought the tour to the next level for us was that he has “lived” Jewish Hamburg himself, having participated in the Jewish community on many different levels — religious, cultural and academic. Not to be missed!

Engaging And Educational Experience Delivered By A Passionate Guide

Published on Jan, 2024

Ian knows his stuff. He presented a wide variety of facts with the sprinkling of witty comments. Through the tour, his personality shone through, which made his presentation even more engaging. Through the facts in his presentation, Ian gave us the panorama of the human story of the Jews of Hamburg. Finally, we appreciated a humanist note in his stories and insights.

Ian gave an impressive, informative overview of the Jewish community at a moments notice. He was so accommodating to my very tight schedule and meet up location. I was so impressed that I will be booking another tour with him! Thank you, Ian!!

Jewish Hamburg tour with Ian Shulman

Published on Oct, 2019

Ian Shulman arrived on time. He was extremely well informed and has a very pleasant way about him. He gave us a very good insight into the Jews of Hamburg and told most interesting and humorous anecdotes of some famous Jewish businessmen. He also recommended a restaurant after the tour which was excellent. We would highly recommend him. Thank you Ian..
