About

Jump in to one of Venice’s most charming and historic areas in this Jewish ghetto food tour! This unique ghetto is rich in culture and food traditions and has been featured in the movie ‘Merchant of Venice’ with veteran actor Al Pacino.

In this tour, we will visit several authentic restaurants and delis and chances to devour the lovely, rich-tasting Italian ice cream. We will also cover the Cannaregio area which is rich in canals with cute bridges, spectacularly ancient churches and much, much more.

We go through the delightfully pretty looking streets and squares of Old Ghetto. You will be accompanied by our local informative, fun and easy on the eye guide who will take you to taste traditional dishes while sharing some other mind-boggling facts and curiosities! Now for the Jewish part and perhaps the most interesting part of this tour, we will see the Rabbi’s house along with the historic synagogues of Venice while we walk from one stop to another. Of course, as we embark on the Jewish area we cannot miss out on the traditional Jewish-Venetian dishes such as the tasty sensation of the Sarde al Saor and a traditional bakery opened in the 50's among the streets of the oldest Jewish Ghetto in Europe. Between the pit stops for good food and wine, we will stroll along a romantic promenade called ‘fondamenta’.

You will get your taste buds on the tasty, tongue-tingling main courses and loads of other gorgeous dishes that you will not find anywhere else! During the relaxing tour, you will take in breathtaking views of Venice by night what with its churches, alleyways and canals sparkling like the exquisite authentic prosecco wine you will be devouring.

If you’re hungry to learn more and love art, culture, historic information, food and wine then this tour is not to be missed; come with an empty stomach though as you’ll need room for all the Venetian food! Bring your camera as we want you to take home fantastic memories of what will be an unforgettable experience!
