Great guide, perfect visit! - My friend and I could not have been happier with the visit. Sarah was knowledgeable, personable and interesting. It was all that a private guided visit could be: she asked us questions, paid excellent attention to our desires and tailored the visit to our wishes. She showed us the important must/sees but also amazing views, little known lively and beautiful neighborhoods, introduced us to talented artisans who gave us a private demonstration of their craft and one of the best restaurants we ate at in Venice.She deserves all the stars on the scale plus some!

Best tour guide in venice - Elena was amazing—our favorite tour guide by far! She was knowledgeable, incredibly nice, and such a pleasure to be around. We learned so much about Venice and its history, and the tour was a highlight of our trip. We highly recommend booking with her and would do so again if we return to Venice!

Enjoyable Walking Tour - Loris was a lovely tour guide. Venice is a very busy place, overrun in many places with tourists. Loris took us on a very interesting walk, visiting places we never would have seen otherwise - in areas where there were no tourists! Highly recommend. Especially at the beginning of your visit to Venice so you can find places to revisit later in your stay.

Great time in Venice - Genny was an absolutely wonderful guide that despite the intense heat that day, gave us a wonderful experience seeing parts of Venice I had no idea about and really, mostly only local people know about. I often travel to that area and mostly only ventured to where all the tourist go. But she showed us the real Venice that only a real venetian could do.. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to experience Venice off the beaten path..

Fantastic Venice walking tour and guide! - Valentina was so great! She was patient with our schedule needs and changes, customized our tour for us with having a large group, was very communicative before the tour with planning, very knowledgeable, super kind, and even sent us suggestions for shops and restaurants for the rest of our day. We had a fantastic experience with her and our tour!

Fantastic experience - We took a family trip to Italy in July and booked a private tour with Riccardo. This was one of the best tours from our entire Italian vacation. Riccardo was very knowledgeable and extremely passionate about his town, Venice. He made it very interesting and fun for our kids too. We learned a lot of new stories and visited some hidden gems in Venice. Would highly recommend this tour!

Highly enjoyable tour, great guide - Marco is an excellent tour guide, he knows the ins and outs of venice and a lot of personal local stories that bring the narrow allies and squares to life. He gave us great advice as well on how to enjoy the city on our own, as we were there for several days

Awesome guide in Venice, highly recommended! - We had a great experience with Matteo. He took the time to explain key elements of Venetian culture and way of life and he took us to not to obvious places in Venice, he also gave us restaurant recommendations and was a really great host.
