An historical walk and immersion into the heart of the Jewish ghetto and Cannaregio to discover the secrets of the 1st Jewish Ghetto of the world. We will avoid the tourist trail exploring an authentic, lesser-known, but incredible, well-preserved area of Venice, full of charme, enjoying the secret corners of the three ghettos of Venice. You will learn why the Serenissima Republic forced the Jewish community to live under strict rules and how they lived for centuries in Cannaregio. You will discover how changed the area in the centuries. Did you know that the word "ghetto" comes from a local venetian word? I will help you to recognize the hidden synagogues from outside and I will give you insights into the tragedy of the deportation and how the Holocaust left a deep mark on my beloved Venice. We will explore together the sestier of Cannaregio, with its beautiful streets and the venetian "skyscrapers", we will cross beautiful bridges draped in the locals' laundry, Italian style.

Our tour of the Jewish ghetto with Lucia was one of the highlights of our holiday. From the very beginning of the tour till the last minute, she brought us along with her through the history of the area and the people who lived there. She seemed to have an encyclopedic knowledge, no question unanswered, but also delivered with a really balanced overview and sense of the atmosphere throughout the 500 years, the facts neatly woven into the fabric of her narrative...a very impressive guide! We would have booked another tour with her if we had had more time. Thank you Lucia ❤️

Lucia is a fantastic tour guide. This was the best tour of a Jewish area of a European city I have ever had. She was knowledgeable, informative, fun, and engaging. I learned so much. I highly recommend taking a tour with Lucia.

Lucia is fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable and really engaging. I was lucky to have been the only person on the tour so got the benefit of a one to one. Her passion for and knowledge of the subject really shines through. Plus her restaurant recommendation for lunch at a kosher restaurant was spot on. I will certainly be contacting Lucia when I next visit Venice!
