Our guide was very knowledgeable pleased about the history of Venice. She was always patient with the group and guided us through the best places.
Sylvia was a super friendly and knowledgeable guide. Great to get insights of Venice from a local! Great pace of tour, very relaxed and Sylvia always made sure everyone was happy and answered all questions ☺️ highly recommend!
Misleading tour. Didn’t see Rialto Bridge and didn’t see St Marks Square. Said tour capped at 10 guests but we were 16. Gianmarco was knowledgeable and told some great stories but was left disappointed
Giada was truly a great and informed tour guide. Loved hearing about the history and architecture of Venice, and while they promised less than 10 people (we had 12 and 2 don’t show which means 14), but it was ok. Giada was great with taking us places slightly off the beaten path. Venice is very very busy though.
Really enjoyed this tour. Perfect way to see Venice and learn a lot about the history. Our guide was Julia, she is from Venice and was able to provide a lot of information and was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend this tour.
Amazing experience in Venice! The tour was well organized, the guide Julia was excellent, and we got to see both famous landmarks and quieter hidden spots we never would have found on our own. We learned a lot of history from her as she is a native Venetian. Definitely worth it and would absolutely recommend it to others visiting Venice.
Our guide, Alice was wonderful. We had 11 people on the tour which was as big as we wanted. We learned a lot of fun facts and had a wonderful time.
Top work from tour guide. Enthusiastic and insightful
Jade was great - excellent pacing and commentary. Stops were a mix of hits and quiet off the beaten path areas. About two miles of walking in total at a relaxed place. She was also very helpful with recommendations. We did an earlier “hidden” tour and greatly preferred this tour.
Julia was awesome. Knowledgeable and fun, she kept the tour interesting. Would absolutely recommend this tour again.
