Take Aways
FAQ
Yes, as long as you've reserved in advance and for the morning both the Paso and Libertad synagogues will be included.
Does this tour include a visit inside AMIA?
Our regular tour does not include a visit of the interior of AMIA. The center requires a very thorough advance and on-site security check and a tour only led by their staff guides. The tour includes a lengthy video which, from our previous experience, clients have found less valuable than visiting other sites in the city with our guide.
