About this experience

Step into one of Venice’s most authentic neighborhoods with a licensed, English-speaking local guide who was born and raised in the city. This private walking tour explores Cannaregio and the Jewish Ghetto, the oldest Jewish Ghetto in Europe, uncovering stories of resilience, culture, and everyday Venetian life far from the main tourist routes. Walk through historic squares and quiet calli, cross hidden bridges, and discover symbolic places such as the world’s first pawn bank, the original entrance gates to the Ghetto, historic synagogues (external visits), and powerful artistic installations that preserve the memory of the Jewish community in Venice. This is a deep, human, and thoughtful experience — ideal for travelers who want to understand Venice beyond its façades. On request – Exclusive upgrade Upon request, the tour can be extended by approximately one hour to include a private boat ride along the Grand Canal, allowing you to admire Venice’s historic palaces from the water with commentary from your guide. A truly special way to complete the experience.
