Entertaining stories & sites of LGBTQ history in Venice
Valerio is a very entertaining storyteller & knowledgeable of the sites and historical personalities of Venice LGBTQ life. I had a 2-hour tour in the early morning of my departure. Therefore, Valerio had to push the pace and bypass a couple of stops. I joined one of his other tours (Night-time Venice), so I know what he is like when scheduling is relaxed. I would join another of his t p urs, when I return to Venice. I felt that on both tours, I learned trivia that would not be offered by other guides. He is extremely likeable.

Engaging, Historical and Powerful
This was such a wonderful experience!! It is fascinating, educational, engaging and powerful. Valerio was humorous, informative and fun! This tour was most definitely worth the time and money. The topic was presented from both an historical perspective and a deeply human one. So glad I chose this experience!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I'm delighted to hear that you found the tour engaging, educational, and meaningful. Exploring LGBTQ+ history in Venice is about much more than dates and events—it's about the lives, struggles, and resilience of real people across the centuries. I'm glad this human perspective resonated with you. Thank you for joining me, and I hope to welcome you back to Venice for another adventure soon! 🌈

All About LGBT History
We visited Venice with Valerio Coppo and it was wonderful. We fell in love with Venice, its streets, palaces thanks to all its excellent explanations in Spanish.
We absolutely recommend it.

Vini Vici Valerio!
Valerio guided us through Venice in the evening and its unusual links to LGBT history. He is a knowledgeable and professional guide who takes pride in his city of Venice. Separately, we went on his glass tour of Murano also. If you are a traveler who wants more from your visit than walking in the group behind the flag, then Valerio is for you!

Unique experience we recommend
We received interesting details about gay (LGBT) life in Venice, although there could have been a bit more of those ‘kinky’ stories. Valerio was extremly flexible when we organized the tour, and also with the meeting point. He speaks very good English! We highly recommend him and his tours!

Thanks for your feedback! 🌈 Glad you found the tour interesting and appreciated my flexibility. I'll keep your suggestion in mind for more 'kinky' stories. Stay fabulous! 💚 Valerio
