Exemplary care from tour guide - A thorough history of the Ghetto, and the food was great. My wife needed to miss the tour due to a health issue; Vanessa went above and beyond in helping, by including unscheduled pharmacy stops and by providing for samples I could bring back to my wife. Her care and support were/are much appreciated.

Informational and Delicious ❤️ - Over all I had an excellent experience. The food we had was awesome, the choses were things I dont think I’d have tried other wise. This tour also had an historical element. Doing a deeper dive into the history of the Jewish ghettos truly enriched my understanding of Venice. Would totally recommend!!!

Plenty of good food and wine, Vanessa was a great guide. - Such a great tour. Vanessa was the best, she is so knowledgable about the history of the ghetto. She speaks without a script, just sharing what she has learned through her studies. There is also plenty of great food and wine so come hungry. Vanessa also helped us with other information about Venice, we really appreciated the opportunity to talk with her.

Absolutely take this tour! - Vanessa was an amazing guide and we were so lucky to have her all to ourselves. This is a fascinating tour of the Jewish Ghetto and Cannaregio area with wonderful food! Vanessa is very well informed and answered all of our questions. It is an emotional place to visit and we learned a great deal about the area. The last stop for gelato quickly became our favorite gelato place in Venice!

Wonderful Tour w/a Gracious & Knowledgeable Guide - Absolutely LOVED the tour, both culturally and gastronomically speaking, and Vanessa was the PERFECT hostess & guide!! Not only did she share her incredible knowledge of the interwoven histories of the Carneggio area and the Jewish Ghetto, but she did it with empathy, grace, style and humor. She provided an incredible human bridge that made us look deeper than the tourist layer of Venice! Also on a personal note, Vanessa was very understanding of the needs of the group and adjusted the pace to accommodate those who ran a little late and the one (me!) whose level of fitness indicates too much time at a desk over the last 3 years. Many, MANY thanks to her for her graciousness!!

Eat, Drink and Learn with a Local - Vanessa was an informative, lovely local guide who channeled us through unique neighborhoods and eateries off the beaten path. All whilst educating the small group on rich history of neighborhoods and pointing out sights I wouldn’t have noticed.
