We had a great experience with Lucia’s treasure hunt on a beautiful day! Lucia knows so much about Venice, and selected some really great and fun landmarks to show us. We saw an entire part of Venice that we hadn’t seen yet! It was great! She is super with kids, and even our 11 year old was into it!Great fun for kids and parents!

We had a great time with Lucia. This was a marvellous way to discover Venice very intertaing with kids and full of fun facts and interesting historical facts about the city. Great to share It through the eyes of a real Venizian. Highly recommended Great time

Lucia was an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable as well as fun, enthusiastic and professional. We had fun exploring and learning about these important Venetian landmarks. Thanks Lucia!Palazzo Ducale and St. Marks Basilica

For 3 Jewish women, this was a highlight of our trip to Venice. Lucia told the story of the ghettos and ghetto experience so personally, complete with family photos. It is necessary to tell our story, but Lucia's tour will be meaningful to non-Jewish visitors too. The experience is a first-hand view through the eyes of a Venice local. Below is a question about Price-value rating. This is not your typical tour experience, and in my opinion, worth every dollar, eruo or shekel.Passionate Lucia

We had a great time with Lucia in the Scuola Grande San Rocco. She’s great company and hugely knowledgable. Despite having read up quite a lot before hand, we learnt lots of new things. She’s very good at interpreting the paintings as well as telling you about the history. Our sense was that she was particularly good at being able to adapt what she says to the existing knowledge of her audience, which we found really helpful. Suspect she’d be just as good with people who know very little as those who know a lot! Mille Grazie Lucia, it was delightful to meet you and we had a lovely time!Amazing and brilliant Lucia

Lucia was a wonderful guide. She managed to make the visit to St Mark's and the Doge's palace highly enjoyable for all family members. We all learned a lot and had a great time. Having Lucia was a game changer for our children (ages 6 and 8): they normally lose interest in museums and picture galleries after a fairly short time, but this time they were engaged for the whole 2 hours.Lucia is the best

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our tour with Lucia. In the days leading up to the tour she shared suggestions on areas of Venice to visit, restaurants, and arranged for free private tour of a glass factory on Murano. She responded very quickly to all my questions, bought skip the line tickets well in advance, and confirmed our arrangements in advance so I wouldn’t worry. The tour itself exceeded our expectations. Her knowledge about the Basilica, Palace and history of Venice was impressive and so very interesting. Having a private tour is the way to go and trust me - you want to book in advance to make sure Lucia is available. You will be so thankful you did!Amazing Tour with Lucia!

We had the lovely Lucia show us around Venice. The kids, aged 9 & 11, put this as a top highlight of the trip. Lucia was passionate, knowledgable and kept the kids engaged in the 2.5hr tour. We adults also had fun and learnt a bit too. We added in the mask making activity at they end which they loved and allowed hubby and me to go have a appertivo sans kids - close by, which was also very nice. Highly recommend.Entertaining & Informative

Lucia was great telling us about the history of the Jewish ghetto and the synagogues . We got to tour 2 synagogues as well as go to an amazing artist's shop. She gave us a great recommendation for lunch. It was the first of 2 tours that day with Lucia and it was wonderful spending the day learning so much from her. Great tour of Venice's Jewish ghetto

Sandi🇨🇦 Canada

This was the second tour of the day with Lucia. She has so much knowledge and was wonderful to hear many interesting stories about some of the women who were important in Venice's history. She also took us to different off the beaten track places that otherwise we would never have seen. I loved that we ended at a woman led mask making store. If you have a chance book this tour with LuciaAmazing tour learning about amazing women

Lucia was the perfect guide for my 3 teenage grand daughters and myself. Her warm and friendly personality, enthusiasm and sense of humour were an instant hit. We learnt so much about the hidden side of Venice while walking around her special areas … looking for clues, spotting features & collecting information. She brought the history alive by mixing her knowledge with her sense of fun, unusual facts and a treasure hunt. Visiting a Venetian Atelier at the end of the walk and painting our own masks was magical and gave us the best souvenir to take home from Venice. Lucia was very generous with her time, enthusiastic and gave us good suggestions for the rest of our time in Venice.Fantastic

Lucia was terrific. We had a group with a wide range of ages including kids ages 7 to 13. Her tour is set up to be engaging with children, and they stayed engaged for several hours. It was also informative for the adults. I would highly recommend her especially for families. I’d love to come back to do some of her art tours for myself - another time!Excellent kid friendly tour!

We had an incredible time learning everything about the Doge's Palace and their history. Lucia's fascinating knowledge was share in such a bright and entertaining way that our time flashed by. You can feel just how much Lucia loves her city and she imparted that love to us and our kids so that we were just as swept up in it. After the tour we couldn't stop our youngest continuing the treasure hunt as he continued to spot features around the city.Where did the time go?

Ethan🇺🇸 United States

17 julio 2024

We had a fantastic experience with Lucia! She is an absolutely amazing tour guide who knew so much about the Jewish Ghetto. We could tell as she took us around the area how knowledgeable she was and how passionate and proud she was of this small but historic neighborhood. We learned so much and were very appreciative of the recommendations she gave us throughout our tour. Even though we are tourists, it felt very good to get a break from the loud bustling touristy areas of Venice, and getting a slower, quieter experience learning about the history that not everyone gets to see.Amazing Tour of the Jewish Ghetto

Our entire group were enthralled with Lucia’’s Venice biennale Collateral art venue tour! She set the stage with some important historical facts and encouraged us to see the Accademia artworks to provide a basis for the contemporary art we were about to see. We were taken to off the track places providing a range of different Biennale artworks and also venues that were special in their own right. Favourites were the art school installation and the Nigerian Pavilion. Lucia gave us some tips of venues to see beyond the tour. Lucia gave a tour from an authentically Venetian perspective and her love for the city shone through. We could not recommend her more highly!Lucia blew us away!

Mitch🇺🇸 United States

In a warm and vibrant manner, Lucia provided such rich detail regarding the Ashkenazi, Spanish, and Levantine Jewish Ghettoes. Not to mention, she was so patient with all of our questions. This was all new information for our family and we could not imagine visiting Venice and missing this. Priceless!! Grazie Lucia!A walk through Venetian Jewish History

We had an amazing time exploring the Doge’s Palace and San Marco’s with Lucia! She was fantastic with our 8 year old son and kept him engaged the entire time. We learned so much about the Republic of Venice and origins of the basilica. I would highly recommend her to anyone traveling to Venice!!!

Sarah🇺🇸 United States

We had the fortune to have a private walking tour of the neighborhoods of Venice with Lucia. She was such a wonderful host and took us to some beautiful places around Venice. We had been to Venice before and seen the major sites so having the opportunity to see the neighborhoods was exactly what we wanted. Lucia is born and raised in Venice so to have her prospective of this amazing city was perfect. She took us to so many beautiful spots and gardens that really gave us the charm that the residents enjoy. Fantastic tour! Highly recommend Lucia!!Lucia was amazing!!!

We have just returned from our latest visit to our favourite city of Venice. As part of this we booked a trip with Lucia in order to explore and understand the origin and history of the Ghetto area. Our two hours with her flew by and she was able to give a much greater grasp of how and why the area was established and how it developed over the centuries. She was knowledgeable, passionate, engaging and charming and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and adding to our knowledge of Venice. She also gave us an insider tip to locate a ‘secret’ garden in Canareggio from which we were able to get a stunning view out over the lagoon on a crisp bright December day. As part of our conversation we were able to let Lucia know that one of the heroes of the Unification of Italy has a biscuit named after him in the UK…….we shall be sending some to her shortly! A Wonderful Experience!

Lucia provided an educational and fun tour for our family (kids aged 6, 6, and 10). We’ve been on several tours as a family and this was the one the kids voted best (and now they are convinced they want to move to Venice when they are older!) We learned a lot about Venice and ended the experience with the sweetest little gifts for the kids. Would highly recommend!Lucia is an amazing guide!

Hi, this is not the first tour of the Getto with Lucia, done the same thing 2 years ago but this time with Granddaughters and I wanted them to learn as well as seethe place. They were both enthralled and as last time she has the ability to make it 3D. The story is told with real soul and passion, not a monotone dialogue and her knowledge of the subject I doubt very much could be equalled. A Fantastic Experience and one I will do again if I have friends coming with me next time! KevinThe Getto Tour with Real Soul and Passion

Lucia was a joy to be with. We saw the parts of Venice not normally seen; the Venice neighborhoods. She was very knowledgeable on the history and architecture of Venice, adding visits to gardens only known by locals. Highly recommended. Highlight of our visit to Venice

My husband and I spent the afternoon with an exceptional guide, Lucia, of the Jewish Ghetto in Venice. Lucia was very professional, extremely knowledgeable and an absolute delight to spend the afternoon with. She answered our questions with anecdotes that added to the tour, her presentations and photos on her iPad made the tour so much. more meaningful. Lucia's vibrant personality will endear her to you for a long time. I strongly recommend her to anyone anticipating a tour of Jewish Ghetto.Over and Above!

After having travelled through Rome and Florence to Venice, this was my girls, favourite all because of Lucia’s insightful, fun tour. She managed to engage all three of my girls, including my teenagers. Thank you so much Lucia for making this the perfect tour for adults and children. We appreciate the restaurant recommendation as.

We wanted to see and learn about the real Venice during the three days we spent there in May 2023. We booked a private tour with Lucia who showed us how the Venetians live, work and move about these most wonderful mini islands. Besides learning of the best places to eat and the shops to visit, we were shown some of the Venetian secretes and their history that most tourists miss and thus her tour far exceeded our expectations. Lucia really loves her heritage and made us feel so welcome in her homeland.Just perfect

My guide, Lucia, was awesome! So knowledgeable about the Gallerie Accademia and the area around it. Even showed me an alleyway that locals, rather than tourists, use. The information she passed on to me was, in a word, priceless. This tour is wonderful! Thank you!Lovely Lucia!

we had an wonderful time in the company of Lucia, who was able to put together a tour that as exactly what my adventure seeking 7 year was after. Fine mix between the different parts of Venice seeking out the finer parts of Venice away from the Tourist trail, high recommended. Fantastic Venice Tour for our 7 year old

Lucia was helpful, knowledgeable, and great company! She went above and beyond to make sure our day together - and the rest of the trip to Venice - was fantastic. I appreciated that she was accessible before I arrived to answer questions. Will definitely recommend Lucia to my friends back home in NY and CA!Best tour guide!

Wir haben mit Lucia einen spannenden Spaziergang durch Cannareggio und das Ghetto gemacht. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen und vieles Neue erfahren. Schön war der Besuch von „versteckten“ Orten, die wir ohne Lucia nie gefunden hätten. Lucia ist sehr freundlich, voller Informationen, hat sich schon im Vorfeld um uns gekümmert und z.B. Restaurant-Reservierungen für uns gemacht. Wir können eine Tour mit ihr sehr empfehlen.Spannender Spaziergang!

Our tour was fantastic! Lucia is passionate about Venice’s long history. She’s so upbeat and shared with us so much of her knowledge. We had a great time walking the streets with her and hearing her stories. She feels so connected to the history and you feel that in the tour. Thanks Lucia 😊Great experience!

This was our first experience using Withlocals and Lucia was just the BEST guide and felt like a friend showing us around her city. My 7 year old daughter just loved Lucia and she made the tour special for her by playing games along the way and preparing a special souvenir book for her. We all felt welcomed and Lucia answered all of our questions with enthusiasm. It’s very clear she loves what she does and has an extraordinary gift. My daughter didn’t want to leave her and she asked me if Lucia can be her “new best friend in Venice” What an amazing g experience, thank you so much Lucia :) Nicole The BEST afternoon

Lucia was very open on our communication prior to our tour at the Gallerie dell’ Accademia. She graciously accommodated our request to focus the tour on the artwork at the Accademia. She met us punctually and with an amazingly friendly greeting. She first showed us some images of Venetian artwork to describe the differences in the modern-day buildings as she described some historical information about the Accademia. She has lived in the US for a number of years and her English is perfect. Once we entered the Gallerie Lucia’s extraordinary passion and vast knowledge about Venetian art, culture and history became apparent instantly. She had meticulously planned the sequence of paintings and artwork to view with us. She pointed out many aspects and details in the paintings while she provided an in-depth commentary about the painter and their art. Lucia has a strong connection with the Venetian art and brings it to life. Lucia was very willing to answer any question that we had. She kept the pace of the tour coordinated with our desires. The 2.5 hours in the Gallerie was an amazing experience and we are so grateful to Lucia for becoming a friend while she shared her knowledge as we explored the art collection with her. We highly recommend Lucia as your next tour guide. An Amazing Venetian Art Experience with Lucia

My family of four (2 adults plus 18 and 16 year old) went on a tour of the Jewish ghetto with Lucia. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and the tour was excellent.

Along with our teenage daughters, we greatly enjoyed our tour of the Jewish Ghetto with Lucia. Lucia did a wonderful job of explaining the long history and culture of the area and it’s role in Venice and weaving it all into more recent times. We even had time to stop for a snack at a lovely bakery and walk around local art shop. She also was gracious with suggestions for lunch and other things to see and do in Venice. We very highly recommend touring with Lucia!Perfect Tour

Lucia took my family (myself, husband plus 2 daughters - ages 10 and 12) on an awesome tour of the Cannareggio and Jewish Ghetto areas of Venice. This was my second visit to Venice, and I learned so much from Lucia's informative tour and developed so much love for this area and the people. She kept my daughters excited and engaged and even took us for gelato after the tour. Lucia is a Venice expert with an engaging personality, in depth knowledge of the area as she has lived here and understands the history of the area. When I return to visit Venice, I will book another tour with Lucia. A+++ experience. . .Amazing behind the scenes Venice Tour with Lucia!

The most important characteristics in my opinion in a guide are not knowledge of their subject (which they already just have obviously) but passion and warmth. Lucia endears herself by being sweet, patient and loving what she does. It was so helpful that she had tools like maps and photos to show the areas of Venice as well as some historical details. I liked her approach to the tour and she was super helpful to me with my hundred questions. Grazie Lucia! Helpful and interesting
