magnificent - with Alessandro we discovered history and curiosities about Venice that we would hardly have known on our own, he took us on an interesting tour of the city to say the least with surprising curiosities and anecdotes that were sometimes hidden between the lines We thank him for the splendid memory of the city

Alessandro, a true connoisseur of Venice and its mysteries - I took part in the tour together with my Australian relatives. Alessandro did all the driving in perfect English, telling us about the history of Venice and delighting us with details on Marco Polo's secrets and mysteries while also keeping us entertained. Really well organized and professional! I highly recommend it.

A unique view of Venice - Alessandro was great! His art historian perspective was wonderful to me, as I studied art history in college. His knowledge went beyond what I learned in school. He was entertaining and enjoyable to be with. The tour took 3 hours, which was longer than we expected. There is no place to sit down in Venice!

Tour through stories, legends and secrets! - Alessandro is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide about his work, he manages to infect you and transport you to a legendary Venice. If you are looking for a different tour that allows you to discover the charm of this city and its secret stories, this is the tour for you. I still talk to my students about some anecdotes discovered during this tour!!

Tripadvisor is a terrible agency! - Tripadvisor is appalling! No fault of the tour guide, but Trip Advisor hadn't told him of our booking! He came asap, but TA hung up on his calls requesting a refund for us. This is the 2nd time this trip we've made bookings through TA and they've failed to notify restaurant/ tour guide. Never using them again!!
