Food and Wine Walking Tour of Venice’s Jewish Ghetto - I loved the Food and Wine Walking Tour of Venice’s Jewish Ghetto! Our young guide’s outstanding knowledge of the area’s history and culture made the stroll through Cannaregio fascinating. All food stops were delicious, with amazing pasta, wine, gelato, and baked goods. Highly recommend this small-group tour!

Vanessa + food & drink = Best Tour Ever - Vanessa was knowledgeable and personable. She had a wealth of knowledge and quickly learned our names and backgrounds and tailored the tour to the individuals. Vanessa was also careful to present the sad parts of the historic ghetto in a respectful way that was solemn but not depressing. She was the best tour guide we have had on any Viator tours. There was so much food and drink!!! Wonderful experience and worth every penny!

Don’t miss this tour with Vanessa! - Don’t miss this tour! Vanessa was absolutely amazing! We loved that right away she was able to determine everyone in our groups food choices . The tour was so interesting and each stop was unique and quite informative. Vanessa’s passion to share her knowledge was a bonus. We had the opportunity to try such an array of food in each stop!

Great and very interesting food tour - Great food tour with Vanessa as perfect guide. Very interesting background knowledge with historical contexts and great selection of tastings and places to eat. Great recommendation!
In the last restaurant we only got the worst table unfortunately but that can be easily improved.

Above and beyond! - Vanessa was a wonderful guide, she provided rich and detailed information, had a sparkling personality, and was always ready to answer questions. The tour is the perfect balance between food tour combined with cultural and Jewish history of Venice. I would definitely go on another tour with this company.

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.

Wonderful Jewish food tour - We really enjoyed this your. Being Jewish I was curious about the Jewish life and culture here. It was surprising to learn that while it exists it’s very small. Now only two synagogues, out of five, are still in use as a synagogue.
While this food tour has five stops, only two of them were Kosher foods: Gam Gam a restaurant and a bakery. I really enjoyed Gam Gam and would have loved to stay and eat more. Our next kosher stop was a bakery. Fabulous baked products.
We then moved through the rest of the Jewish ghetto, actually learned about the word ghetto, and a history of Jewish life in Venice.
As we left the ghetto we ate more food which of course was not kosher. Venessa did have vegetarian options picked for those who were vegetarian.
Like the previous food your our guide had preselected our foods and drinks. She did an amazing job.
The only negative was there was not more of a break between food stops and time at the restaurants felt rushed. I would have preferred a little slower pace.
Overall, check it out, especially if you’re Jewish and love our history.
