5.00Our tour guide Adair was extremely informative and had many suggestions outside of the tour (where to eat, how to catch a boat to airport, etc). I really enjoyed this private tour because it was only for our family. We were able to hear her and have a more personal tour. I most certainly recommend taking a private tour and at the end we had our own gondola ride.
Venice trip was amazing!

5.00This was my favorite part of my whole vacation. Possibly the best tour I’ve ever taken in a foreign country. Sebastian was our tour guide and showed us so much of his island. He loved Venice and it shows. Sebastian walked us through all the back streets and alleys. He is very knowledgeable and kind. We had a great time! Magda the tour operator reached out to us and made sure we were set up and answered all our questions. So well organized!
