If you are looking to experience Venice away from the crowds, this is for you. - We had a great time wandering the quiet back streets of Venice. Our guide, Martina, was very accommodating and shared many stories and historical facts about the city. It was one of the best walking tours I have ever taken. She treated us all to a Gelato.

Great guide - Elisabetta was an outstanding guide. Born and raised right in Venice, she was a wealth of knowledge. It was just my husband and I who are fairly quiet people and she put us at ease and carried the conversation very well. We covered a lot of ground. It was great!

Prefect way to see lesser known sites of Venice. - Loved the tour and our tour guide Elisabetta. Our favorite part of the tour besides seeing various parts of Venice we would have never seen on our own was visiting the Church of St Pantelon. Thank you Elisabetta for giving us a great tour.

Walking Tour of Venice By a Venetian Native - We and two other couples booked a walking tour of Venice and were very happy with the tour. We learned alot of history presented in an interesting manner which can interest someone who is not a history buff.
She was very flexible in order to meet the individual needs regarding physical issues and physical stamina of our group of six as well as our divergent interests. We especially appreciated her finding a short line to enter St Marks cathedral
Highly recommended.

An amazing tour - As others have said before me, definitely book this tour and if possible, on your first day. Venice can be overwhelming for a new comer, Elisabetta makes it very logical. Along the way she provides a narrative of history, points out local favorites, and the “how to” on navigation. Two hours wasn’t nearly enough, we could have spent days with her.

Wonderful Tour and Venice Secrets! - Our tour guide, Alisabetta, communicated from several days before our booking up until even after the booking was over. She was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to and took us all over parts of Venice that my husband and I had not seen in the two days prior that we had been there. She told us history of Venice and answered many questions that we asked her about her own life and she also asked us about our lives. It felt like walking with a friend for a couple of hours. She even changed the tour up a little bit and accommodated our request for a specific kind of treat and showed us where our dinner reservations were later that day. She told me that she would send recommendations of restaurants to go to for the following days of our trip and followed up with them right after the tour. She even sent me several places to go the next day and was incredibly friendly. We felt like we made a friend! Highly recommended this private tour.

Awesome - Our tour guide Elisabetta was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet and very knowledgeable on all things Italy. Super helpful and made it very personable. She took us to some pretty awesome spots of Italy. We really enjoyed her company; it was just my husband and I with her and she did not disappoint where she took us. She gave some great recommendations of where to go eat as well.
