Venice Jewish Ghetto small group tour with SPRITZ and CICCHETTI tasting

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and very friendly. I would recommend this tour for the experience and the gelato!

The tour guide started by explaining that the Jews were put in the ghetto at their request and for their protection. Because they were “so powerful”, their request was granted. They got locked up at dusk every night. The leader was not very informative. She also showed a photo of a man with a white beard and large nose as an example of someone who had lived in the ghetto. The tour did not include a visit inside any of the 3 synagogues or the Jewish Museum. Skip the tour and go to the Jeeish Museum.

This tour was incredibly interesting for the history content it has. Alessandra, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the jewish ghetto and explained everything in a nuanced and in depth fashion. Alessandra was patient with our questions and easy going and really fun too! The ice-cream tasting at the end was absolutely delicious!

This was the best tour we did on our Venetian trip. Our guide Alessandra was very knowledgeable, happy and friendly and it was so apparent how much she loved her job. The tour was incredibly interesting and I would actually do it again when I next return to Venice. The gelato was amazing at the end

It was in fact a private tour, just for us. The guide, Alexandra, was great, she started to offer this shorter two hours tour recently, but the tour starts in winter almost by night, at 5:00 pm, and the Jewish Ghetto just started to awake after the Shabbat Saturday, and naturally the synagogues were closed for visitors. The whole tour, including the Cannaregio district was amazing, and we finished it with a Gelato Ice Cream tasting two big cups. We highly recommend it.
