Our guide Giulia was great! As one of the less than 50,000 Venetian locals, you could sense her passion about Venezia. We learned a lot of interesting facts and she was knowledgeable to be able to answer any questions. She also gave some great recommendations for her personal preferences of different foods in the 6 different sestieri. We subsequently had delicious gelato in Cannaregio and cicchetti at two different locations in San Marco. All very authentic and delicious. We loved finding these hidden treasures.
