5.00Carlotta was our guide for the walking tour. She did a wonderful job of showing us through Venice. She was very knowledgeable of the area and its history. She remained cheerful and upbeat even though if rained during our entire tour. We would definitely recommend her to anyone that was interested in a walking tour of Venice.

5.00Miriam gave us a great tour. She was fun, engaging and knowledgeable. She accommodated the couple requests I had and also had great pro-tricks for avoiding heavy tourist congestion while still getting into the key sites.

5.00Silvia’s wine and cicchetti tour was incredible! While booked as a group tour, my wife and I were the only participants, so it ended up being a private tour. We learned more than we ever expected, had amazing small plates of local delicacies, fabulous wine and visited both quiet and comfortably lively neighborhoods away from the common tourist spots. But most importantly we met a friend in Silvia whom we hope to see again. She is a loving spirit doing these tours for the same reason we book tours by locals - to truly connect and learn from each other no matter where we are from. This tour, and Silvia, earned our highest recommendation possible. We will be encouraging everyone we know going to Venice to book this tour.

5.00Turkan is a absolutely wonderful tour guide. Our walk through the neighborhoods of Venice was a highlight of our visit. She is a highly intelligent young woman who is as personable and knowledgeable as she is beautiful.

5.00Great experience with Gioele (Joe)! We only had one full day in Venice and wanted to see and learn as much as we could. Joe took us through all of the regions and showed us areas we would not have found on our own. He shared a ton of information about the history of each of the places he showed us, and the local cuisine. We did a lot of walking, so be sure to bring good shoes! Again, it was a great experience. I would 100% do it again!
This tour was amazing! ...
