I arranged a private Jewish Heritage tour on my own at the very last minute and was immediately accommodated without any issues. Charif was a genuinely kind individual who shared historical context throughout the experience, which added real depth and significance to the tour. Thank you, Charif this was exactly what I was looking for.
