Wonderful tour of the Jewish Ghetto

Dennis_W, Sep 2025

Great tour of the lesser known areas of Venice. Our guide Georjia was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. She was able to customize part of the tour to our interests. Thank you again!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Dennis, Thank you very much for writing this review. Giorgia is truly excellent, and I am proud to have her as part of the FriendinVenice team. She brings deep knowledge, sensitivity, and care to every tour she leads. Unlike many other ancient peoples, Jewish culture has maintained religious, linguistic, and identity cohesion through centuries of diaspora. As highlighted by the history of the Ghetto in Venice, and in Italy more broadly, Jewish communities played a vital role in economic life, medicine, philosophy, and culture, even while facing restrictions and exclusion. Visiting the Venetian Ghetto is an extremely important experience. It is not only a place of historical interest, but a fundamental area for understanding Venetian and European history as a whole. To walk through the Ghetto and learn about Jewish history is essential. Knowing history matters, especially so that the same mistakes are never repeated. Thank you again for choosing this tour. Warm regards, Nadia & Giorgia
