    We spent two wonderful days in Venice with Lucia Bondetti as our guide, and she was exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable about both the city’s history and modern life, engaging, warm, and incredibly accommodating. She made Venice come alive for us. An 11 out of 10 experience! Highly recommended.

    Lucia is a wonderful guide. She is able to explain with the perfect amount of detail, and allowed us to see so much and learn so much within our two hour time. We went with our six year old and five month old, and she managed with the children beautifully. We are very happy with our experience.

    Lucia is a passionate Guide, very competent, inserted in the context that enchants you with details and anecdotes. Time together flew, a precious time that made us more aware. It reveals an “unexpected” Venice.

    My husband and a friend of ours toured the Jewish Ghetto and Doge's Palace with Lucia in early December. The tour was incredibly meaningful. You could really feel just how important the ghetto is to her, both from a historical perspective and by her deep love of the vibrant community of people that live and work there today. Her passion for the city was contagious and made our time with her so special. This day was truly one we will never forget. Lucia, thank you so much for sharing your city.

    If you’re thinking about booking Lucia for a Jewish tour of Venice-don’t hesitate! She is everything previous reviewers have said and more. Lucia is a total delight. She even helped me by advising on my transportation related questions in advance of our travel to Venice. Lucia is super enthusiastic, witty and knowledgeable. She was full of interesting stories and a consummate professional. Her English is easy to understand, and she paces her tour perfectly. I only wished I had pre-booked her for additional Venice tours while we were visiting this special city!

  • Wonderful group tour with friends
