Every bookable experience in Italy, in one place — compared across GetYourGuide, Headout and Viator, ranked on reviews, booked on their site at their price.
Explore Venice's dark side on a sunset or night tour through Cannaregio and the Jewish Ghetto. Hear tales of ghosts and crimes, then enjoy a Spritz with two traditional cicchetti in a local tavern. An atmospheric experience away from the crowds.
One of the best tours I have ever done! Small group of 8 lovely people. Our delightful and knowledgeable guide Alice took us through the old Jewish ghetto and explained all the history, stopping at a Jewish bakery to enjoy a typical pastry. Then a walk through Canareggio with two stops for drinks and delicious cichetti and a gelato to finish. Great to see another area of Venice outside of Rialto and San Marco. Highly recommend this tour!

Marina did a fantastic job!!! I was scared there would be food I wouldn’t like. Everything we had was fantastic. She was fun and the entire group was very engaged in the tour. We had a little bit of history on the Jewish Ghetto and went to 3 different stops. Highly recommend this tour with her!!!

I had this tour with Silvia and she absolutely made my Venice trip! If you are debating taking a food tour or which tour to take - this is the one. Silvia took us to several local places I never would have found otherwise, explained a ton about the history of Venice, specifically the Jewish Ghetto, as well as the food and wine itself. And of course everything we had, from the cicchetti to the wine to the gelato was amazing! I felt in the best of hands all evening on the tour with Silvia. I really appreciate the attention to detail, not just dietary requirements but food preferences, checking where I was from and staying so she could give me recommendations for the rest of my trip. It was really clear how much she enjoys showing people Venice and ensuring they have a good time. This tour was a truly amazing experience with a awesome guide that went above and beyond to ensure the tour, and truly my entire trip to Venice, was a great time. Must book tour!

Olympia was a wonderful tour guide. We heard many interesting stories, had great conversations and, of course, tasted some delicious cicchetti, drinks and gelato. This was an evening tour and we had just arrived in Venice so it helped us orient to the city. Highly recommend!

Elana was a marvelous guide that was energetic, funny and considerate. Her connection to the region/neighborhood was on display and made for an interesting history lesson in the Jewish Ghetto.

We had an excellent guide, learned a lot about the history, food and culture of Venice, and the food was delicious, but only visited 3 places. I think such tours should be a bit longer and/or visit a few more places.

Stephano(?)was very gracious and knowledgeable. We were expecting something more geared towards ghosts and crime, this was more just a history tour of a not very interesting area in historic buildings.

The tour was great, and Marina, our guide, was very knowledgeable. The stories were really interesting (but not scary!). I really enjoyed the Spritz, and the food was lovely. I even tried something new, which I’ll definitely have again. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Increíble, encantador, las historias que cuenta la guía son muy interesantes, laa cuenta en la extensión justa, no aburre, la guía, Alici, es encantadora, hace que te intrigue cada cosa aue te cuenta, lo ilustra con imagenes y lo cuenta con una pasión que te mete en la historia. La parada para tomar Spritz y ciccheti es en un lugar muy acogedor. En definitiva, es una excursión muy refomendable de 1,5 horas que se te hace corta, pero que sales encamtado. Altamente recomendable.

I’ve been on a few of these tours at home, and I come away wanting to know more about the secrets of the area. Same with this tour, with hundreds of years of Venetian history, I was expecting anecdote, after anecdote, but I think we got four. Alice was friendly, knowledgeable and was from the area which gave it an authentic feel. I just wanted more.
