Amazing!

Inside historical and contemporary look into how Jews were treated in this important part of Europe in the Middle Ages--as well as how the current community lives today. Wonderfully informed guides, expert explanations and visits to historical synagogues still in use today. Not to miss!

Clara was an excellent guide. She informed, entertained and kept our attention for the entire two hours - no easy task.

Amazing!

Our guide was Clare. She was very animated and engaging which made the tour come alive. The memorial to the ghetto residents murdered by the Nazis was moving. Very interesting learning the history of the ghetto.

Amazing!

The first part of the tour - learning about the history of Jews in Venice (and Europe and Africa) was very well and respectfully explained. While there was little walking (the ghettos are only two small adjacent ‘islands’ in Venice) so much was covered. Many things you just wouldn’t see or know without a local telling you. The synagogue tour ok - but a lot of repetition from the outside tour which was run by a different guide.

The synagogues are amazing and the history of the Ghetto is heartwarming! Our guide, Isabella, is excellent and her English quite good!

Amazing!

Wonderful tour full of history about the ghetto, Venice, and how the two are intertwined. It was very interesting to see the present day features of the area which are tied to the ghetto's past. Really cool!

Amazing!

This was a very informative tour and we learned a lot of information regarding the Jewish Ghetto of Venice being the first Jewish Ghetto to exist, even before the Holocaust. The tour guide gave a lot of history and then we were led by a member of the synagogue into the 2 synagogues that were currently open. Highly recommend this tour for anyone, whether you are Jewish or just want to learn the history.

Amazing!

Great historian! Learned a lot and really connected with what was shared. We then visited the 2 synagogues that were open (Italian and Spanish) and felt very connected to our ancestors.
