The Secrets of Venice - Private Tour
Description
Come and discover the secrets of Venice with a different tour that will make you feel like a true Venetian citizen and help you to catch the best of the city during your stay. In addition to the most famous places in Venice (such as St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge) I will guide you through the most hidden and non-touristy parts of the city, where we can analyze its history and construction. I will focus on architecture and its culture with entertaining anecdotes and legendary discoveries. We will take a walk through alleys, bridges and fields observing a part of the city that you probably would not see without getting lost. During the excursion I will share my experiences and curiosities to make you feel at home. *FOR PRIVATE TOURS CONTACT ME*

Absolutely fantastic. Entertaining, fun, informative, polite and super knowledgable. Our absolute highest recommendation!
Nico is a simply extraordinary guide. He is professionally wise and personally pleasant, effective and extraordinarily friendly. Everything makes it easy. It teaches you the history, culture and life of Venice in an easy and enjoyable way. Also, we were solved by restaurants, transportation. Really, an eleven.
Could not recommend Nico & this tour more. Definitely book this tour if you are interested in Venice outside of the high tourist areas, and definitely if you if you want to understand the architecture and how Venice today came to be. His deep knowledge of the history of Venice as well as his ability to guide us based on what we found interesting was fantastic. He was enthusiastic, you can tell he truly loves and respects the city. Thanks Nico!
Nico provided a great walking tour and history of Venice. Not just telling you about the history, but showing you places all around the city. Because it's a smaller tour you move quickly and see a lot. Nico is a native of Venice and knows it well. I really enjoyed learning about his city. It's a great way to immerse yourself in Venice.
My husband and I were traveling to Italy with our 13 yo and 10 yo daughters. This tour was the absolute best way to start our time in Venice. Nico is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. He was easy to communicate with and met us promptly at our hotel. He was happy to adjust the itinerary according to our interests. The city can be a little confusing to navigate even with Google Maps. Our 2 hour tour helped us get our bearings and see the highlights of the city while avoiding tourist traps. As a native Venetian, he knows the city inside and out. Nico’s information about the city’s history made everything come to life. We would’ve missed a lot of cool and interesting things had it not been for the tour & our kids loved it too! Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to make the most of Venice!
Nico is the perfect Cicero to learn the most secret goodies and history of Venice. Nico is an excellent mix of sympathy & culture to make the most of your time in Venice!
The right mix of culture and fun. With Nico we explored the most beautiful and exclusive corners of Venice learning the most special goodies guided by his truly unmissable story!
My daughter, niece and I started our trip to Venice with a tour with Nico and it was amazing! He was so much fun and so knowledgeable. My niece was there to attend a pre-med program and he was so helpful to take us by where she would be staying on the second part of her trip and tell us all about the history of the hospital and make lots of recommendations for great places to eat nearby. My daughter had a broken foot and Nico was wonderful to take us to all the best places and show us some easy routes to get around while she was on her walker/rollator. We hope to visit again and will definitely do another tour with Nico!
Our guide was so knowledgeable, accommodating and really entertaining. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our tour.
Niko is a one of a kind guide. Lots of passion in the explanations. Lots of knowledge and tips and he feels the customer... he gives a warm and friendly attitude. True, maybe he is not the cheapest guide, but... yes, the best. This is not my first time in Venice but after the explanations and the non-standard places I felt that it was actually my first visit to Venice. My wife and I just fell in love with it.+39 340 269 2866
