We did the audio tour on a very cold, damp November afternoon which was very evocative - you download the tour and then listen at various points. It was well narrated and brought the various places to life. There are so many stories connected to the area and I thought the way it was done was both informative but also sensitive.
Our guide was amazing!!! She was not just knowledgeable but we got the feeling that she truly feeling that she truly emphasized with the Jewish culture and history.
Our guide (Claire) was one of the best guides we have ever had. She was energetic and very informative in her explanation of the history of the Jewish ghetto.
Claire was amazing. She is full of amazing knowledge. It was very enjoyable. Highly recommend
Exellecent Our tour guide Anatasia was so informative. Very considerate of slower walking guest. Considered this one of the best tours of our 15 day visit to Italy.
Really informative and our guide was excellent. Would highly recommend this tour.
You should take a tour guide to understand this place, otherwise there's not so much to see. The tour takes 1hour, the synagogues at the end. I would recommend to see, it's very different from other places in Venice and very historical. But the price (12€) is quite big for this small place.
We loved learning the history of the oldest Jewish ghetto in the world. Guides tour from the museum was good and we entered two of the five synagogues in the ghetto. Informative and important history.
Great guided tour of the two Sephardic synagogues in Venice and explanation of the first ever Jewish Ghetto. Cost is only €15. As of September 2023 two of the original three synagogues are under refurbishment, and the Jewish museum itself is closed for renovations.
Great way to experience the story of the Jewish community in Venice, which is a very fascinating history. Allow a bit of time before the tour of the sinagogues to appreciate the small but informative museum. The sinagogues are uniques in style - Venice was a place of exceptions - so well worth a visit
