We learned a lot about the Jewish Ghetto - Danis was very informative, energetic, and enthusiastic with his knowledge of Venice, and the history of the Jewish Ghetto. He actually lives on the Venetian island, so his information is always up to date.
We visited 5 different locations. The food, wine and local Spritzes, that we sampled were quite unique in flavor. The portions were larger than expected, and often times, we were given extra samples. One location served us a full sized meal.
We had the distinction of having Danis as our guide again for the Rialto Market tour. Again same great insight and attention to detail with his informative interactions.
Next time we visit Venice, we will be hopeful in having Danis again.

The Best of the Jewish Ghetto tour - My husband and I had Vanessa Busca as our tour guide and she was excellent! She knew many interesting facts about the Jewish Ghetto that we visited and took us to wonderful local spots to try a variety of drinks, appetizers, and pasta for dinner as well as amazing gelato for dessert! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience something a little different than the regular tourist attractions of Venice. Plus the quality of the food was great and Vanessa our tour guide made the tour so much fun!

Eating like the Locals - We had a wonderful time on this tour and left with very full stomachs! The kosher jewish bakery goods were amazing and every other kind of food and wine you hope to have when you’re in Italy are just about covered in this tour! I loved that the food and wine stops were a little off the beaten path, we truly felt like one of the locals! And everything we tried was incredible! Denys was an extremely friendly and knowledgeable guide!

Vanessa, our guide, is the key to this tour! - The tour and 0laces visited were great, but the real prize of this tour was our guide, Vanessa. You MUST request her as your guide if you take this tour. Her knowledge is endless and easy to listen to. She is soooo pleasant and fun to be with. We made a friend!

Best Tour of our Trip - We did a total of seven tours over two weeks in Venice, Salzburg and Munich and this was our favorite one. We would recommend this tour even for families with kids who aren’t of drinking age; there is plenty of food and our 14 year-old son was always offered a nonalcoholic drink instead of wine. All the food places were off the beaten path so it was a truly locals experience. Thanks for a fun and enjoyable experience.

Fascinating historical tour - Excellent and informative guide. Was a little disappointed with the food we had better meals in Venice exploring on our own. Overall, wood, especially for the history.
