Wife and I had this private wine and ciccheti tour booked through our travel agent for our honeymoon. Tommaso did not disappoint. His English was very clear, his love and respect for the city was out of this world. He showed us all around, and took us to some of the top spots in the city. Would highly recommend him as a tour guide if possible
A big thank you to Nicolas for this exceptional visit to Venice! Passionate, very friendly, and perfectly knowledgeable about the city, he showed us hidden and authentic places that we would never have found on our own. His anecdotes and explanations made the visit fascinating from start to finish. He also recommended an excellent restaurant, a true gem. Thanks to him, we discovered another side of Venice, far from the usual tourist routes. We recommend Nicolas without hesitation!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Nico as our tour guide, and he was fantastic. The stories and information he shared were incredibly insightful, detailed, and engaging. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it made the entire experience that much better. This was our first day, and after a long day of travel we were completely exhausted, but Nico somehow kept us energized and enjoying every minute until we finally had to call it a night. Honestly, it was the perfect way to kick off our trip. If I had the opportunity to choose a guide for the rest of my travels, I would pick Nico every single time. Highly recommend.
This was my third visit to Venice, and I can’t believe how little I knew of or had seen of Cannaregio and surrounding neighborhoods. Some call it the “real” Venice because of its quiet lanes, canals and lack of touristy businesses. What we discovered was a quiet, beautiful area with a lot of history and charm. Our guide, Nico, was all you can ask for in a guide. Passionate about the area (he was born, raised and still lives in Cannaregio) and so well versed in the little gems found all around the area. We included the cicchetti option as part of our tour and it was a wonderful addition to the experience. So many places offer cicchetti and it is hard to know which places to pick. We made three stops along the way. All were great, and at each stop we were introduced to all of the various options to choose from. One other aspect worth mentioning about Nico. He is able to curate your tour to your interests and tastes. In listening to our questions, he would shift gears and tailor his tour to our interests but without compromising the overall scope of the tour. Yes, after reading my review, it is no secret I highly recommend this tour.
This was a private tour, just our group. Well worth the cost; Nico our guide was very knowledgeable and easy to talk too. I’d do this again.
Nico guided us through the amazing history of Venice. Incredibly knowledgeable and witty. Thanks an again for the great experience.
The guide was very knowledgeable and kind. The tour was full of information but too intense. We walked over 2 hours in the heat without stopping. We found it too long and a bit boring. Don’t confuse this tour with a food tour, that’s what we thought it would be.
We relied on Luca for various activities during our stay in Venice! It was all AMAZING! Sincere, deep thanks for all the advice and suggestions offered!
Nico was a fantastic guide and provided an incredible introduction to Venice. Highly recommend this tour.
This tour was amazing! We had one night in Venice and this walking tour through all of the backstreets was amazing. Our guide shared so much information and history. We stopped several times and tried local cuisine ans wines in tiny pubs off the beaten path!
