Wonderful tour. Great tips. We really enjoyed it. Valerio is simply brilliant.
Vielen lieben Dank 😊 Es freut mich wirklich sehr, dass euch die Tour und auch meine Tipps gefallen haben! Es war schön, euch Venedig zeigen zu dürfen. Ich hoffe, ihr habt noch eine wunderbare Zeit in Italien und vielleicht bis zum nächsten Mal in Venedig!
Being a detourist was an excellent 2hour journey through some hidden Biennale gems. Our guide Valerio was for sure very experienced and shared many witty insights. Really a very nice stroll through the backstreets of Venice accompanied with lots of information
Ms Kunz once again impressed us with her understanding of art and background knowledge. Every year she manages to explain and describe the Biennial (architecture or art) and to focus on the essentials. Your accompanying (secret) tips for the time in Venice are great suggestions away from the main tourist streams! We are already looking forward to the leadership next year.
