Lucia is a wonderful guide. She is able to explain with the perfect amount of detail, and allowed us to see so much and learn so much within our two hour time. We went with our six year old and five month old, and she managed with the children beautifully. We are very happy with our experience.

Lucia has a vast knowledge of Italian history and the jewish community of Venice. The tour was super interesting and the group was small. Highly recommended!!!

Lucia è una guida appassionata, molto competente, inserita nel contesto che ti incanta con dettagli e aneddoti. Il tempo insieme è volato, un tempo prezioso che ci ha reso più consapevoli. Ti svela una Venezia “inaspettata”.
