Very informative tour, very knowledgeable guide that was always ready to answer questions, so don't hesitate to ask. Great introduction to the history of Judaism in Venice.

Venice is an unique place to find the prints of jewish italian life. If you go to the Gheto Vechio, you will see the carving of mezuzahs at the doors, kosher restaurants, bakeries, judaica stores and the Jewish museum with its three synagogues (one of them still functioning today) you’ll tour trough Venice’s jewish life and connect to it. In the museum they offer guided tours in english and italian. If you want a deeper conection to judaism in europe, do not hesitate.

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
-
Extremely disappointing. We caught the last tour of the day and our guide seemed to be more interested in closing the windows of the Ashkenazi and French synagogues with very little explanation. But we did learn that the architect of the Spanish and French synagogues was Baldassare Longhena, the architect of the San Marco basilica. It was a much better experience to see the Spanish synagogue on Shabbat (and pray there). It was simply much better in Rome.
-
Beautiful collection and nicely done descriptions. Highlight is the tour of the gorgeous synagogues.
