Great tour of Venice's Jewish ghetto
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.

A walk through Venetian Jewish History
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!

Fascinating History and Value for Money
Our tour really was value for money. Romy's extensive knowledge of the history of Venice and the role of the Venetian Renaissance artists was so interesting. We visited numerous sites of interest and with our new found knowledge we were better able to plan the rest of our trip.
