My husband and a friend of ours toured the Jewish Ghetto and Doge's Palace with Lucia in early December. The tour was incredibly meaningful. You could really feel just how important the ghetto is to her, both from a historical perspective and by her deep love of the vibrant community of people that live and work there today. Her passion for the city was contagious and made our time with her so special. This day was truly one we will never forget. Lucia, thank you so much for sharing your city.

If you’re thinking about booking Lucia for a Jewish tour of Venice-don’t hesitate! She is everything previous reviewers have said and more. Lucia is a total delight. She even helped me by advising on my transportation related questions in advance of our travel to Venice. Lucia is super enthusiastic, witty and knowledgeable. She was full of interesting stories and a consummate professional. Her English is easy to understand, and she paces her tour perfectly. I only wished I had pre-booked her for additional Venice tours while we were visiting this special city!

This was an awesome tour to kick start our time in Venice. Lucia is passionate about her city and knows so much! We loved doing the ghetto (gheto) tour as it gave us a great appreciation of this part of Venice, the history and stories of inspirational people. Being off the beaten track was great too and to explore the small alleyways. Totally recommended - this was fantastic!

We had a wonderul tour with Lucia through Cannaregio and the ghetto. Lucia is such a warm person and full of humor, knowledge and stories. We enjoyed our time with her immensely and really learned a lot! Lucia also was great with the children of some of the other participants. She had them look for symbols and signs, so for the children and teens it was like a game. Thank you so much Lucia!

Lucia is very knowledgeable, and passionate about this subject and about this tour. She was friendly, and great with the kids. Not only did she give us insight into the ghetto and life at this time, she helped us see Cannaregio through and Italians eyes and brought a unique part of Venice to light and into our hearts. We loved this tour with her.

This is one of the best tours my wife and I have taken. Lucia shared the history not only of the ghettos, but also of Venice in order to set the foundation and give us a better understanding of it all. She is great story teller and very passionate about what she does. She made the tour interactive and fun while immersing us in the history of the ghettos but also Venice. She even went above and beyond by sharing recommendations of some of her favorite spots in Venice and offering herself as a resource for the rest of her visit. I can’t speak highly enough of this tour and of Lucia. This is a must do tour during your time in Venice!

I think this was the best tour I've ever been on! Lucia has a wealth of knowledge and was able to bring the history and current state of Jewish culture and community in Venice to life. It was an incredible lens through which to experience the city, could not recommend this tour more highly. We were also just so impressed she was able to answer our many, many questions. You won't regret going on any tour with Lucia!!

Lucia is such a natural and shares so much history at a pace that isn’t overwhelming. She makes it interactive and happily repeats details when asked. On top of all that she’s a lovely person and shared her contact details in case we needed any further support or recommendations

We did the tour in Italian yesterday and I must say we had a great time. Lucia is ray of sunshine in cold Venice (it's Winter). She makes even the most uninteresting corner really interesting 😊. We explored a part of Venice that I've never been to (and this is my 5th tine here) - we fell in love with Cannaregio. Lucia, keep being that ray of sunshine, we'll be back to see Venice again - with you. Grazie mille 🙋🏽‍♀️

Our family of four had a private tour of the Ghetto with Lucia last week. It was a great experience - incredibly informative about the origins of the ghetto, its history over the centuries, and its present. Lucia is an exceptional guide. I strongly recommend Lucia and this tour for anyone interested in the history of the Ghetto or of Venice overall.

Lucia was the most informed, interesting, and sweetest tour guide we have ever had! She truly made us feel like a local. She clearly has a serious passion about history and sharing the history of her city with others. She has an incredible background working in the US, France, and Italy, and therefore she is able to share informative context while on the tour. Our tour, the Canareggio and Jewish Ghetto tour, was fantastic. While on the tour she was able to tell us about the history as well as the modern culture of the former ghetto. She has many friends she has made in the area which definitely added to the experience to be able to talk about how the Jewish community is reestablishing roots in Venice. At the end of the tour she sat with us for a few minutes to provide us recommendations for the remainder of our trip for great spots to see, cool stores, and excellent Venetian food. Given her clear intelligence and passion I am sure any tour with her would be fantastic.

Lucia answered a dozen questions about the Jewish Ghetto of Venice. This online tour experience, the version possible during these hard times, is fantastic! Lucia is a great tour guide of Venice! Absolutely knowledgeable, humorous and friendly. Looking forward to come to Venice for the in person version of the Jewish ghetto tour, I want to recognize every detail ! Thank you !

We took 2 wonderful tours with Lucia! A private and a small group tour, both were amazing, since is she is a very knowledgeable guide. As a art historian she obviously knows a lot about the towns history and art but she also told us many things about the life in her hometown Venice. Currently Venice has few tourists and it was an absolute joy to walk around and enjoy some museums as well! We felt safe with all measures being taken. Not all museums have reopend yet that's why the city tours made our stay absolutely memorable. If you love Venice we would defintely recommend Lucia's walks and tours

Lucia was a fantastic tour guide for the start of our visit to Venice. She arrived promptly at the arranged time. Lucia shared a lot information about Venice and the Jewish Ghetto during the tour and she answered all (a lot!!) of our questions. Throughout the tour she always asked if the tour was meeting our expectations and at the end made sure we knew how to get back to our hotel. The glass of wine? Fantastic! Well done Lucia

This was a great tour of the Jewish ghetto area.Lucia, the guide, was very knowledgable and pointed out things we would not have noticed had we just wondered around on our own. She spoke English well and was able to make the tour interesting. Afterwards she took us to a local place which had really good coffee. She also took us to a couple of shops we wanted to visit. Good communication after booking about where to meet and Lucia also suggested changing the time slightly to avoid the carnival crowds, which was helpful. I would highly recommend this tour with Lucia as the guide.

For those who are Jews and for those who aren't unforgettable experience walking in the streets and canals of the first Jewish ghetto of the world. Lucia is a fantastic and an incredibly passionate and knowledgeable guide. I wholeheartedly recommend Lucia as a guide, you won’t be disappointed

I could not be happier with the Venice Jewish Ghetto tour Lucia provided ! She was extremely knowledgeable about everything related to the Jewish Ghetto and she even created a scavenger hunt for our kids ! She kept their attention through stories and interaction. We enjoyed our Lucia's tour, the perfect start to our holiday. She is truly a professional and passionate guide! Thank you!
