This was really nice having someone who knows the city to walk around with and learn about the history. He even had pictures to help tell the story. And obviously you have to take a gondola ride if you're in Venice and he knows exactly where to take you to get the best experience. This is a must if you love learning about the history of every city you go to like I do.

Arranged schedule of gondola experience at an earlier time due to daylight hours (contacted me two days prior to check with me). Took pictures of us during gondola ride, priceless pics. Friendly and informative.
Definitely would do this one!

Our guide took us on a nice tour of many of the historical spots in Venice. If you don't know much about the history of Venice like we did before the tour, then you will learn a lot of interesting facts. After the tour, our guide sent us off on a private gondola ride. We would definitely recommend.

Tony was a great guide. If you want a personal guide and don’t want to spend more than a couple of hours getting the basics of Venice then this is highly recommended.

This private tour was perfect as it was just two of us and Tony. He had a wealth of knowledge about Venice and was able to answer the questions we had and take us around the city with ease even with the crowds. After our walking tour he hooked us up on a gondola ride that was exceptional. I would highly recommend Tony as a tour guide.
Excellent Private Tour

Tony was an incredible guide and we are so happy that we booked this tour. He was communicative the evening prior so we had contact details and confirmed our meeting point. The day of, our water taxi was a little late, but Tony waited for us for 15-20 minutes reassuring it was no problem which kept the morning stress free. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Venice and added in interesting Venetian stories while showing us really beautiful sites. We ended with a gondola ride, which was certainly a highlight. I can fully recommend Tony and this tour if you’re looking for something private and special while in Venice!
Perfect for what we needed!!

Such a wonderful experience with this tour! We were able to customize our day, and it worked out perfectly. We only had a short amount of time in Venice, and our original tour plans fell through. Fortunately, we were able to get this tour and we are so thankful! The communication was excellent - and prompt. We were able to pick a meeting spot close to where our ferry dropped us off - it was easy to find even though none of us had ever been to Venice. It started raining the afternoon we were there, so we stopped and got lunch and chatted about the history of Venice until the rain subsided. We saw some wonderful architecture/art/history, and learned so much along the way. When our tour was over he showed us the best places to shop and where to get some nearby gelato. He even took several pictures for us along the way!! The best. Thank you so so much for everything! We wish you the very best!
