Shin Tours is the world’s number one Jewish heritage tour provider for transformative Jewish heritage experiences. We help families create life-changing “wow” moments through Jewish heritage tours to England that bring them closer to their roots, their culture, and each other.
Experience a Jewish Heritage Tour in England
England is a popular destination for Jewish heritage travel, giving a window into both Jewish history and modern-day life. At Shin Tours, we offer bespoke tour packages built around you and your family—with a tailor-made itinerary and experiences all handled for you.
For Jewish families, seniors, and multigenerational travel groups, England will connect you with Jewish heritage in an intellectually stimulating way. Imagine yourself:
- Hearing footsteps echo beneath Bevis Marks Synagogue’s historic wooden galleries.
- Seeing priceless Jewish artifacts up close in the British Museum.
- Reflecting quietly at the National Holocaust Centre and Museum in Nottinghamshire.
- Tasting warm Jewish delicacies in North London’s vibrant community streets.
About Shin Tours
Most Jewish tours to England follow a recycled itinerary: one-size-fits-all stops, a rushed schedule, and a generic package that leaves little space for meaning.
Shin Tours takes a different approach.
We start with a short interview to understand each traveller—what matters to parents, what will engage teens, or what a couple wants to experience. That insight lets us design a bespoke private tour that goes beyond “seeing the sites,” creating personal moments like a Bar or Bat Mitzvah ceremony at a historic synagogue, or tailor-making a tour to one of England’s many Holocaust museums.
Our unique approach is what helped Shin Tours achieve a 4.9 rating and a Travellers’ Choice Award on TripAdvisor. We’re also a Service Partner for World Jewish Travel and a tour partner of ITravelJerusalem. You can see more recognitions on our About page.

What to Experience on a Jewish Tour to England
No two Jewish tours to England should be the same. That’s why Shin Tours begins with a short interview process, then designs a bespoke itinerary around your group’s dates, interests and pace.
At the same time, most Shin Tours clients want to experience England’s most significant Jewish cultural and historical sights—like the Bevis Marks Synagogue in London, the British Museum or the National Holocaust Centre and Museum.
Below is an overview of the locations we feature in our Jewish heritage tours of England.
London
London is the centrepiece of Jewish heritage travel in the UK, combining living community life with world-class museums and deeply moving places of remembrance. It’s ideal for a private Jewish heritage itinerary that blends iconic landmarks with food, neighbourhood walks, and powerful storytelling. Some of the main stops are:
- Bevis Marks Synagogue, the UK’s oldest synagogue in continuous use (founded 1701)
- British Museum with a tailored route to see Jewish artefacts and texts
- The Wiener Holocaust Library, one of the world’s leading archives
- Imperial War Museum: Holocaust Galleries with extensive collections
- Bakeries and delis in North London Jewish communities such as Golders Green and Stamford Hill
Manchester
Manchester offers a proud, distinctive chapter of British Jewish history, shaped by migration, industry, and long-standing community life. It’s a strong option if you want a Jewish heritage experience beyond London, with a slower pace and a more local feel. Some of the main stops are:
- Manchester Jewish Museum, housed in a beautifully restored 1874 synagogue
Nottinghamshire
Nottinghamshire adds a deeply reflective dimension to Jewish heritage travel in the UK, centred on education, remembrance, and human stories. It’s a meaningful stop for families who want a space to understand and process the past together. Some of the main stops are:
- The National Holocaust Centre and Museum, the UK’s dedicated Holocaust memorial museum
