Fantastic guide. Dont forget to ask about Mona - We really enjoyed our tour with Alessandro. He was charming, personable, knowledgeable, funny, and had a real interest in making sure the tour was great. We could have spent the entire evening chatting and walking around listening to his insights and humor. We felt genuinely engaged by him and his history and appreciated the wholeheartedness of the interactions between us. My scorpio and I thank you Alessandro.

Unexpected Venice!! - Most walking tours take you to the expected sights to see… but not this after dark walking tour with Sabrina! Venice is a city of bridges and a maze of small alleyways. Sabrina is an expert guide and very knowledgeable about Venetian history. Before we started the walking tour, she spent a good 10 minutes giving us a quick history lesson. She brought out a map and showed us the various districts and islands in Venice. Sabrina took us down various small alleyways with a surprise and the end of alleyway.. small courtyards, various churches and showed us where Marco Polo resided and the history of his life. While we went over bridges, we got a quick lesson on how the changing tides have impacted life in Venice. We ended our tour with a private gondola ride, which was on our bucket list.. and so worth it! Take the tour with Sabrina … you won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful Way to Learn about Venice - Exquisite. Ottavia is engaging, knowledgeable, cheerful, willing to listen and answer any questions, energetic, patient, and fun to be with. Private conversational tour was infinitely better than the “earbud tour” we had taken previously. Very glad we took this tour with Ottavia and will recommend her to anyone we know is going to Venice.

Very informative! Our guide, my bride, and me where the only folks! - Our Guide was a doll! She knew her history and extremely knowledgeable. I am into WWII history. Finding out her family was part of the conflict from Croatia and to hear what her family went thru was exhilarating to talk about. It all tied with why Venice was the only city which was not destroyed by the Germans.

Wander the streets with a local….priceless. - So interesting walking the streets and seeing things that you just would not understand if you didn’t have someone to point them out. Took a gondola ride as well which was so cool.
