The guide in the Jewish quarter was very difficult to understand. We were certainly appreciative of the access and being able to join late but the guide who knew a lot we could not understand Six out of the 10 or 12 people on the tour we're late because the directions to the meeting place were not adequate . I think you can do better.

Exhaustive tour of Venice Jewish ghetto and 2 synagogues. Ghetto tour was comprehensive and quite informative, including historical references, but could have been condensed in 1 - 1.5 hours, rather than 2 hours. The 1 hour synagogue visits were incredibly inspirational. The tour guide, Alicia, had excellent knowledge base and communicated effectively
