Fantastic tour of St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace - Had a wonderful solo tour with Brankic - she had an amazing wealth of knowledge and love for St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace. She took the extra time to allow me to see the wonderful bronze horses of Constantinople on the 2nd floor and then out on the rooftops. Amazing morning in Venice. Thanks so much.

The majesty of Venice! - Outstanding private tour by Sabrina. She was able to bring her considerable knowledge of Venice history, art, religion, etc. as we walked through the historic Doge’s Palace and Saint Mark’s Basilica. She pointed out special items, works of art, secret doors and other hard to find items that we would never been able to see or understand without her expertise.

Wonderful St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace Tour with Nico. - We had an unforgettable experience touring St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace with Nico as our guide. His passion for the history of Venice truly shines through in every word he speaks. Nico's deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the city's past to life, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. He answered all of our questions with enthusiasm. If you're looking for a tour that’s rich in history and led by someone who genuinely loves what they do, Nico is the perfect guide. Highly recommended!

Great tour to see the highlights! - We had a wonderful tour walking and seeing the city , st marks and the palace. Tullia was great. Very informative and asked several times what we were interested in hearing about so she could tailor the tour to us. The gondola ride was ok at the end. You have to do it while in Venice, but it felt like a tourist trap.

Great Tour - Our guide, Tullia, was very informative and shifted our tour when she learned we’d seen some things already. She even recommended a great place for lunch.
