Excellent Tour of the Jewish Ghettos in Venice - We knew nothing about Jewish history in Venice, however we had done a tour with Lucia last year and really liked her, so we decided to book this one. It wasn't just a dry recitation of the facts - she brought the history alive for us. She speaks with feeling and you know that she cares about the subject matter, as well having a good knowledge of the area. We really recommend Lucia - she's an excellent tour guide and we were so happy that we did the tour with her.

So worth it!! - We found Lucia to be extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and a good communicator. Her tour was informative, interactive, and she kept us engaged with her easy banter and style . I highly recommend taking this tour not just for those that are interested in Jewish history because of their own background, but this is a wonderful opportunity to learn about other traditions and culture. Definitely a must do!
