A guide great lover of the area and local expert

This is a walking tour, we won't visit sites inside (no synagogues but I can give you all info)

Overview

An historical walk and immersion into the heart of the Jewish ghetto and Cannaregio to discover the secrets of the 1st Jewish Ghetto of the world. We will avoid the tourist trail exploring an authentic, lesser-known, but incredible, well-preserved area of Venice, full of charme, enjoying the secret corners of the three ghettos of Venice. You will learn why the Serenissima Republic forced the Jewish community to live under strict rules and how they lived for centuries in Cannaregio. Did you know that the word "ghetto" comes from a local venetian word? I will help you to recognize the hidden synagogues from outside and I will give you insights into the tragedy of the deportation and how the Holocaust left a deep mark on my beloved Venice. We will explore together the sestier of Cannaregio, with its beautiful streets and the venetian "skyscrapers", we will cross beautiful bridges draped in the locals' laundry, Italian style.

What a wonderful way to learn about this neighborhood!

Published on Nov, 2024

Our two-hour walking tour with Lucia was very good. She was passionate about the history and details about the neighborhood. She didn't sugar coat anything and helped us understand what it was really like here at different periods in history. Lucia was so helpful with recommendations and even had a sheet for us at the end. Grazie, Lucia!! Great tour!!

Walking Tour of the Jewish Ghetto in Venice

Published on Nov, 2024

This tour was fascinating and incredibly enriching. Our guide Lucia was both knowledgeable and passionate, bringing the history of Venice’s Jewish Ghetto to life with vivid stories and deep insights. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history, culture, or simply discovering a unique and often overlooked part of Venice. It was both educational and deeply moving, and it left me with a profound respect for the stories and lives that shaped this remarkable neighborhood.

Great tour, great Guide!

Lucia is an amazing guide. Her breadth of knowledge and interest in her subject or unmatched. I would recommend her for any of the tours she offers. We took the Walking tour of the Jewish Ghetto and it was one of the highlights of our trip.

Powerful history in this somber and beautiful place.

Published on Oct, 2024

This place had such an impact on us. The information about the history was powerful. Go at night with no one around and you will feel the weight of it in the air.

Tour was excellent....
