We had a fabulous tour! It was our second day in Venice and we had already seen St Marks. She customize our tour to what we wanted. More time at Doge palace. Back streets and restaurants. Art galleries. We loved it. It was my wife and 2 adult daughters and son-in-law. Great english. Great enthusiasms. Friendly. Excellent tour.
It was great to view Venice through a locals eyes. She pointed out areas and things we hadn’t noticed before or thought of. We saw so much and it was a great use of time.
My friend Mary and myself went on a tour of Venice with a guide called Valentina. She was AMAZING, we arrived 10 minutes late as we got off the vaperetto at the wrong stop. I cannot praise Valentina highly enough, she was informative about every area we went to, she was funny but also very professional. I would Highly recommended a walking tour with Valentina.
Valentina was super friendly and took time to get to know everyone in the group. We got lots of great information and it was the perfect start to our four-day-stay in Venice!
A nice walking tour through the corners of Venice Thank you very much Ivano for showing us your city We liked it a lot 😊
Michaela is awesome! Knowledgeable. Keen local insights. She’s a highly educated local who connects the big historical picture with fun and winsome facts. She knows far more than other tour groups who only hit the main stops. Don’t come across the world to one of the richest cultural cities in history just to pick your own pocket! Hire these amazing people to make the most of your time and experience!
