Fun and informative tour by fantastic guide! - Fun and very informative tour by a fantastic tour guide. She had GREAT suggestions for where to have authentic local food and drinks at decent prices, and even booked times for us to get a view of the city from the top of one of the tall buildings. So thoughtful!

Wonderful Tour of Less Touristy Areas - This was a fabulous tour. The weather was terrible and we debated whether we wanted to actually go, but I'm so glad we did! Lucia is an excellent guide. She took us to areas that we wouldn't have seen otherwise, and pointed out sights that we wouldn't have noticed. It was so informative and it was also fun. It was great to see areas that weren't overrun with other tourists (and I say that knowing that I'm a tourist). I highly recommend Lucia and hopefully if (when) I go back to Venice again, I'll do another tour with her.

Best and Most Informative Tour Ever - Lucia provided a wonderful tour. As a life-long resident of Venice her knowledge of its history from its founding to present is amazing and her ability to impart it is first rate. We learned so much from her as she took care to explain everything in detail and answered all questions from the group. As a bonus she provided her personal recommendations on places to dine and the best gelato shops. All delivered with a lively personality.

A truly special activity with a lovely guide. - Lucia is an outstanding guide. Very good English and really accommodating and entertaining. We were led through parts of Venice that tourists rarely go and were shown and told interesting past and present facts about the city. She is clearly passionate about her city and there’s good reason why. It’s absolutely beautiful!

Amazing, the perfect welcome to Venice, fun and very interesting!! - Lucia was amazing! She was so sweet, nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. My mother has walking difficulties (uses a cane) abs was struggling with the many steps and bridges. Lucia was able to modify the tour on the spot to help assist my mother! Her knowledge and love of the city shows! She was able to recommend amazing restaurants and the BEST galito place ever! She took us to a rooftop views that was amazing. We never would have know about it or even how to find it. She also made sure to help us capture our memories by offering to take a few photos of our family! Lucia's knowledge abs love for her city shines through. Thank you Lucia for the amazing welcome to your city!!!
