Things to do Hidden Secrets of Venice Free Tour (Jewish Ghetto)

Join our Hidden Venice tour to venture off the beaten path! Let’s get away from the crowd to discover picturesque corners, gems, and treasures and also an interesting insight into Venice past and present life (high tides and floods, how the city was built, food and drink culture, Venetian buildings, Carnival masks, the Jewish ghetto are just a few of the topics covered). While the many secrets, stories and curiosities which are behind this lesser known part of Venice are unveiled, you’ll breathe the atmosphere of the authentic local life walking along the peaceful alleys of Cannaregio, one of the most charming areas of Venice. From Campo San Geremia to Campo de l’Abazia, the tour starts by passing through the two main areas of the Jewish Ghetto, which has its typical “skyscrapers” and synagogues. It enters then a hidden part of Venice allowing you to discover some beautiful gems and treasures (such as the statues of Rioba and the Moors and the breathtaking Church of Madonna dell’Orto) along with an amazing view over the northern lagoon. The tour ends in Campo de l’Abazia.

“Take off the mask of Venice ”

I absolutely loved this tour! Laura was fantastic—her enthusiasm for Venice was contagious and made the whole experience unforgettable. She kept us engaged with fun questions (and even little prizes!), which added a playful touch to the walk. What impressed me most was how she managed to “take off the mask of Venice,” revealing the city’s true character beyond the tourist façade. Thanks to her, I felt like I discovered a more authentic and fascinating side of Venice. Highly recommended!

“A tour with Laura”

We took a tour today with our guide, Laura. The tour was very interesting and we learned so much about the history of this city. The guide was wonderful, answered all our questions and was funny and had a lot of knowledge about Venice. Extremely insightful and with so much passion us and our whole group were magnetized.

“Be aware of this company”

The guide didn’t show up. Total waste of time and money! Why do you send the message about the tour the day before when in fact this is a total scam? There were quite a few people waiting for the tour; everyone very disappointed. Is this the way you treat tourists in Italy?

“AVOID Guide did not turn up”

We waited at the meeting point with others booked on the tour, but the guide did not turn up despite confirming the day beforehand. We used the contact function in the app and despite multiple attempts did not get a response! Very disappointing and a waste of our time. Luckily, we used Chat GPT to suggest our own walking tour of the Jewish Ghetto area, and our first stop in the ‘new ghetto’ square came across an official tour offfice and had a brilliant tour of the area and visited the synagogues with a fantastic historian for €15pp.
