I would encourage anyone interested in learning about past and present life as a Venetian to take a walk with Lucia! - 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.

Lucia's walking tour of the Jewish Ghetto and Cannaregio - 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!

Awesome tour to start your time in Venice - 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!

One of our best tours ever! - 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!

Wonderful Cannaregio and Jewish Ghetto tour - 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.

Amazing Tour - 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!

Incredible tour of Venice's Jewish Ghetto - 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!!
