アナザー・サイド・オブ・ザ・シティ: 本物のヴェネツィアを発見する

Relaxed tour with cultural and historical insights. Local knowledge of good eating and drinking spots shared. Highly recommend.

What a lovely tour! Definitely a highlight of our time in Venice. We gained so much insight and info about real life in the city, and Elisabetta was a delight. We could’ve spent all day with her! Highly recommend.

Elisabetta made us feel the special character of sestiere Dorsoduro , a wonderfully rewarding afternoon

Our family of six had a wonderful experience touring Venice with Elisabetta. A lifelong Venetian with more than 25 years of guiding experience, she brought incredible knowledge and perspective to every stop. Her English is excellent, and she explained the history and culture of the city in a way that was engaging for both adults and children. She was especially great with our kids, keeping them interested and involved throughout the tour. Elisabetta also showed us quieter neighborhoods and local corners that gave us a much more authentic feel for Venice. We highly recommend her to any family looking to experience the city beyond the typical tourist routes.

This is a great way to learn about the real Venice, not just what you see from staying near the usual places. Venice deserves to be appreciated for its smallest passages, unique shops, vibrant history and culture. Our guide, a lifelong resident of Venice, was enthusiastically fluent in all things Venetian and we were delighted we took this tour.

On this excellent tour we got to see areas of Venice that are often ignored. Walking along a quiet canal, we got to see a shop where forcole are made. Forcole are the oarlocks on gondolas. Seeing a craftsman at work on a custom piece was a rare and fascinating treat. We appreciated seeing different places and learning about Venice history, festivals, and unique traditions. This is a particularly good tour if you're looking for an actual camera-down, thinking-cap-on experience. Elisabetta is a wonderfully well-informed guide who clearly loves her city. She shared some recommendations with us for shops and food. And we had our favorite meal ever in Venice at one of her recommendations. We’ll definitely arrange another tour with Elisabetta when we return to Venice and we’re recommending her to our friends.

Awesome guide - her family goes back more generations than any American can imagine! We really felt like we got the full insider view!

Definitely take this tour as soon as you arrive in Venice if you’ve never been before. Elisabetta is a true Venezian who speaks great English and knows all the off the grid spots to go. We talked to her about cultural norms, and she warned us of scams and showed us how to spot pickpockets. We got to ask her a lot about being a resident of Venice, which I found very interesting. She tailored the tour to what we wanted to see and talk about.

On this tour there were only 2 of us. We felt privileged and we have the guide all to ourselves. Elizabeth showed us places we won’t see otherwise. She was very knowledgeable, accommodating and went extra mile for us. We highly recommend this tour and especially this guide

Elisabetta is a charming host in this beautiful city. She knows every inch of Venice. I have visited Venice several times before but this was the best tour.
