Wonderful experience, definitely a must-do! - We had the most wonderful time and our guide, Barbara, was fantastic. She took us to fabulous local places, ones that she's been going to all her life, so it really felt like an insider's experience instead of a tourist experience. She had interesting information and stories to share with us throughout the night; she took excellent care of us all and made sure we were having a great time. We had our 7-year-old daughter w/us (she's an adventurous eater) and Barbara was so sweet with her and really made for a fun, relaxing, joyful evening. Make sure you bring cash with you so that you can tip Barbara at the end of the night. She doesn't ask for tips, but she most definitely deserves them!

Great personalized your - We had a wonderful tour with Ludovica! It ended up just being my husband and I as everyone else had canceled due to rain. We visited several local places that I know we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. All stops were delicious and Ludovica provided lots of information about Venice and the culture and pointed out lots of areas of interest while walking to our destinations. It was our first day in Venice and had only arrived hours before the tour so it was a great way to get to know the area. She also gave us a wonderful idea of routes to take and neighborhoods for day two. We actually stuck to her routes and saw so much! Very grateful for the guidance. We also enjoyed getting to know Ludovica.
Thank you!
