Anna was fab - we laughed, we ‘wow-ed’ and we learned loads. Was a brilliant experience for the two adults and 12 year old in our party. Highly recommend, my son’s very favourite thing we’ve done in Venice so far!
Our guide Annalisa, a Venetian local, was absolutely fantastic! She is incredibly passionate about her city and is an engaging storyteller. Like most lore, the things we learned had historical truth mixed with cultural insights and legend. We learned a side of Venice that we likely wouldn’t have ever heard elsewhere. Highly recommend!
My guide was kind and knowledgeable, but the stories were far-fetched and didn't offer enough historical context. Throughout the tour, each tale could've had more details and lots more gore.
Ghosts and murder yours are something we always look for when we travel. It was fun and extremely interesting. Anna made it perfect. She was amazing and has a great personality and passion for what she does. The thunderstorm weather added to the tour too. Highly recommended thank you
Claudia did an amazing job. She provided great stories as we walked around Venice. Claudia is very knowledgeable and went the extra step to provide great dinner recommendations to us.
I chose this tour so I can have opportunity to explore Venice during night time but it was till bright during the tour. The ghost stories are ok. I think it would’ve been better if the tour took place after the sun down.
Annalise was fantastic and the stories were well told. It was great to see and hear about Venice from a true Venetian. Highly recommend but be prepared for walking and steps. The hidden places had fantastic views and not crowded with tourists
Out tour guide was amazing story teller. She did such a wonderful job and really impressed the whole family!
Anna was a great guide! She gave us both local lore and legends while also giving general city history which was helpful in giving more perspective to Venice. While we heard spooky stories she kept between the stories light, which is great for people traveling with partners who don’t want a super grim and dark tour.
Expect a nice evening stroll about 1.5 miles in total over 90 minutes. Valentina told us 6 special legends/ghost stories. She also provided cultural insights, and is an engaging story teller! She is Venetian and very passionate about sharing the areas history.
