Don't remember about all the tefilos but the Altnei Shul definitely has minyanim. Personally it was an amazing experience davening in a shul with such history.

I used  http://ikoshertours.com/. A guy named Yakov Schwalb runs it(he is the guide for Pesach Krohn tours in this region). I found his guides to be very knowledgeable and informative and not boring. The prices were fairly reasonable.

I am traveling solo. So that would cost me 120 Euro considering their minimum. I guess I will have to opt fpr the free tour, though the jewish history will be lacking.

I'd contact them and let them know when you're coming and see if they have a group for that time so you'll on pay 40.
