Description
Go on a 2 hour tour to Venice and visit the Jewish Ghetto to see a maze of streets and canals. Learn about the amazing history of this place and the special buildings called the Venetian skyscrapers. Stop by Fondamenta Cannaregio and reach one of the three gates for entering the ancient ghetto of Venice and see Calle Ghetto Vecchio and Ghetto Novissimo.
This is a special Jewish Ghetto tour in Venice to unveil all details, symbols, curiosities and history of this special area of the floating city. This is my favorite tour in Venice, the right mix between the history that everyone should remember, hidden symbols that you can't find on guide books, passion and charming areas off the beaten paths!
