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)!!

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.
