Relaxing stroll

Very relaxing tour, very nice guide - Nico was wonderful. Smaller group than is typical for most tours which made it easier to ask questions. The guide gave us personal recommendations and even included photos from his childhood and his grandparents at some of the same locations we saw. Very cool.

Hidden parts of Venice

Very interesting experience. Guide was very knowledgeable about Venice, especially the history part of it. Took you to areas that most tourists don’t see because they are not aware of this part of Venice.

Highlights of hidden Venice

Great 2 hour tour that gives you a brief synopsis of the history of Venice. The tour highlights a few quieter areas of the city away from the dense tourist areas. Sebastian was a great guide and had tips for local stays/eats. Note: it’s a walking tour so wear comfortable shoes and have water on hand because the weather is hot! Would def recommend!
