Traveler reviews
Outstanding tour
Vanessa was a wonderful guide- very informative and sensitive to every one’s desires about food and information. I would highly recommend this tour.
Rip off tour in Venice ghettu
Terrible. We were supposed to go to a synagogue but it was closed to visitors that day because of the Jewish holiday. There was no one to meet is at the meeting place, so there was nothing to do, I tried to contact them, but it was not possible to get a reply. After decades of tours, this was a rip off
Amazing
Our guide was so accommodating our train was delayed 2 times having us arrive late she waited and took us to the most amazing eateries and took time to explain where we were and the history. I definatly recommend
Excellent Tour
From the the second we met Vanessa she was very engaging. Her knowledge of the area and her love of the culture came through throughout the tour. We started with a fantastic first round of food at Gam Gam and moved on to a nearby bakery. Then a little coffee, followed by ciccheti and an aperitivo. Next came pasta followed by gelato. Everything was delicious. All through out the tour Vanessa shared interesting information about the ghetto. Highly recommend this tour! Loved it!
Jewish Quarter Gems
This was an excellent presentation of the history of the Jewish Ghetto Quarter. It was also a food tour and the food was quite good and a lot. We did 5 food stops. I was the only client and got excellent one on one about the history and Jewish culture.
