VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION: From August 1st 2024, the Municipality of Venice requires tourist groups to wear a hearing aid during the activity. The guide will provide one at the beginning of the tour, since it is a free tour and the hearing aid is expensive, a deposit of € 10 is required which must be given to the guide at the beginning of the tour and which the same guide will return to you at the end when he gives you the hearing aid. IT IS MANDATORY TO BRING THE HEARING AID AND PAY THE DEPOSIT TO TAKE THE TOUR.
On this tour we will visit the most unknown part of Venice, inaccessible to tourists, but if possible, more beautiful than the one everyone knows. The tour consists of two parts, the first will take us through the Jewish quarter, considered the oldest ghetto in the world, we will walk through its narrow streets where there are many Kosher food restaurants, Jewish-themed bookstores and craft shops with Hebrew motifs. We will pass by its five synagogues, the Hebrew Museum and the Banco Rosso, the oldest in the world. In the second part of the tour we will enter the Barrio della Misericordia, a neighborhood inhabited in the 12th and 13th centuries by a population of Muslim merchants, and the place where the few Venetians who still live in Venice live. Here we will discover what daily life is like for the Venetians and we will pass by some places of interest such as the enigmatic Church of Santa Maria del Huerto, the curious Campo dei Mori or the Church of Santa Fosca. The tour will not lack information about recommended restaurants or places to visit.
*IMPORTANT: Groups of more than 6 people are not allowed, EVEN IF THEY COME WITH DIFFERENT RESERVATIONS. The guide may refuse admission to these groups on the tour. For groups of more than 6, we have private tours for 150 euros that can be booked directly with the guide.
