Even better than we could have hoped for!
Elena was amazing! Her knowledge of the history of the Jewish people in Venice was superb and she brought the past and present to light with her stories and her personal touch. We were all riveted the entire time. The best guide we could have hoped for (and we are discriminating)!!

Entertaining & Informative
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.
