Ghost Tour Venice

Wow! A real, authentic Venetian man of a certain age! Raw, real, authentic, absolutely loved this guy! Honesty, a wealth of knowledge, and learned so much about the Jewish ghetto. This man is the real deal!

Excellent tour, off the beaten path. Highly recommended

I have taken guru walk tours all over the world, and this one is, by far, the best I've ever been on. Francesco took us on the back streets of Venice and it felt surreal. Quiet, peaceful, educational. An absolute delight! I could have spent three more hours. Grazie!!

Laura was professional and charming. A lot of information, especially about the Jewish Ghetto, but also about Canareggio. One had to be concentrated not to miss a thing.

Very entertaining and informative. Although I was in Venice a couple of times before, I heard new things and walked backstreets I never walked before.

I have done many tours all around the world — in Europe, Asia, America and I can honestly say that I have never met a guide like Francesco. What we experienced today was not just a tour. It was storytelling at its highest level. Francesco took us through the less touristy side of Venice, including the Jewish Ghetto and hidden corners of the city that most visitors would never discover on their own. But what truly made the experience extraordinary was not only the places, it was him. His charisma is simply on another level. The way he expresses himself, the passion in his voice, the way he builds suspense, the way he keeps you fully engaged from beginning to end… it’s something you cannot fake. You don’t just listen to him, you feel the history through him. He has that rare ability to make every single person feel connected, involved, and genuinely interested. Not for a second does your attention drift. You’re completely there, completely immersed. Beyond his incredible knowledge and talent as a storyteller, he is an amazing human being, warm, kind, humble, and close to people. You can feel that he truly cares about what he does and about the people he’s guiding. If every destination in the world had a guide even half as good as Francesco, traveling would be an even more magical experience than it already is. Francesco, thank you for making Venice unforgettable. You are not just a guide, you are exceptional.

Great informative and full of interactions with the participants. Definitely a highly recommended tour in Venice. Thanks a lot!

Tour was amazing. Didn't even feel like 3 hours. It was so entertaining. It made my trip to Venice worth it.

The tour was interesting and Fransisco showed us places one usually has no chance to go to. He makes a great effort to make it fun and interactive. The tour lasted 3 hours with a 1/2 break. It was really good, maybe a bit too long but still fun and worth my time.

Benissimo! Grazie mille

Great guy and tour. I think it’s a must if you’re visiting Venezia. He’ll show you a route with places and info that are totally different and alternative. 100% recommend.

We were in Venice several times in the past and hired guides a couple times. Laura is exceptional, lots of history knowledge, she was very personable polite and easily engaged with all members of the group. Thank you Laura, see you next year! David

Francesco is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about Venezia and its history. The Illuminati church and the Ghetto visit are certainly two highlights. Don't hesitate booking. Long walk but well worth the effort! (he includes a 30-min coffee break)

Lovely an relaxed walk very informative

Muchas gracias por mostrarnos los secretos del ghetto y del barrio Canareggio, fantástica Guia

We informative and well thought out

Laura ha sido súper profesional. Dando muchos detalles sobre Venecia, la historia, y otras curiosidades. Además de poder hablar con ella en varias lenguas. Muy recomendable.

Die Stadtführung mit Francesco war sehr wissenswert und interessant. Er zeigte uns Orte und Sehenswürdigkeiten, die vor Touristen versteckt sind, gab uns Einblicke in die Geschichte, die sogar für unsere Teenager interessant waren. Jetzt sehen wir Venedig mit anderen Augen und bemerken vieles, an dem wir früher vorbeigegangen wären. Danke, Francesco!

It was ok.

What a tour!!! Francesco shares his knowledge in a highly engaging and dynamic way, revealing a side of Venice most tourists never get to see. The three hours flew by — I couldn’t recommend this tour more!

Laura was absolutely wonderful- from clear communication before the tour to being personable and attentive to everybody on the tour. She was quite fun, shared valuable information and answered all our questions. Highly recommended !

Very fun and fascinating tour. Francesco is a local very experienced guide and took us all around the city for almost 3 hours. The stories and explanations about a variety of subjects were interesting and we learned a lot. Recommended!

Francesco is an experienced tourist guard. He was on time to the meeting point. He explained a lot of details/histories of the sites we visited. I really enjoyed this walking tour. I will join more with Guru walking tours when I travel to other places in the future.

Francesco was a great tour guide! He made the tour interesting and engaging, made sure everyone was included, and took us to places we never would have gone ourselves. This is a great tour to do to see the non touristy parts of Venice. We covered a lot!

Francisco was engaging, humorous, and very knowledgable. We saw parts of the city we wouldn’t have known existed. A great tour from a local who was born in Venice, detailed and highly recommended especially if you’re looking for something that covers other things than the key tourist sites.
