Us-two adults, a girl of 14 years and a girl 9-the Museum and visit to three synagogues are loved, and we were very interested. We first visited the Museum and an exhibition alone, and then we had a nice tour. Well done, explained with mirth and availability questions, from a passionate Guide to Venice (not only Jewish!), the ghetto, the Jewish history in Italy.

Went on a guided tour. Guide spoke good English and gave an excellent overview of Jewish Venice, it's Ghetto and 3 of the 5 synagogues. Also answered our questions. Gift shop definitely worth visiting. Lastly, the Museum also features a Kosher dairy cafeteria with cookies, pastries, coffee and average cuisine. Two days in a row, we enjoyed a quiet and relaxing lunch.

Very pleasant guided tour, even for our children. It was seemingly interesting for complete newcomers to the subjects at hand as well as those that are more or less familiar with Jewish Venice. We visited several of the synagogues.
