Walking and Talking in the labyrinth. - My spouse and I did this tour on 8.12.24 and have no regrets from the experience . It was a big group but communications was provided for us all to be in sync. The "lady in green" was elaborate, a treasure trove of information on all things " Venice". Her passion for Venice was evident and it showed in her eye for detail. the tour was at an engaging clip , the walk was very enjoyable . I would recommend this trip to all.

Great tour from a native Venetian with much knowledge of the city! - Julia was organized, patient, knowledgable, and informative. She made sure that we stayed in the shade and together on a hot and crowded afternoon. She is a native Venetian so gave us a lot of insight into living in the city and the problems that Venice faces and how it had dealt with them. We were truly amazed that she was able to identify a restaurant from an inside photo that was taken seven years previously, given only its approximate location. She also provided us with a list of recommendations for our visit, which was much appreciated. Thank you Julia!

Recommended short tour of Venice - Anna was our tour guide who took us on a 2hr walking tour around Venice, crossing 4 of the 6 districts within Venice. Anna was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Would recommend the tour to anyone visiting Venice for a short break.

The history of Venice - Our guide Daisy, was excellent because of her extensive education on the history of Venice and her passion for the people and structures of Venice. This was nice because it was a small group of about 10 people . Highly recommend this tour. If you get Daisy you are lucky.

A good start to exploring Venice - Navigating your way around Venice can be challenging and taking a walking tour gives you a good basis to start. This tour was very good with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The pace was leisurely but worked well for our small group and we saw parts of Venice you would probably miss if walking by yourselves. Overall an excellent tour to be recommended.
