A quieter experience of Venice

We were thrilled with our "Off the Beaten Track in Venice" tour with Valentina. She took us all around the Dorsoduro district of Venice and gave us a great overview of the history of the city as a whole. Valentina is a native of the Venice area and attended one of the local universities, so she has a great depth of knowledge of the area and the culture. We found ourselves drawn back to the areas we had visited with her multiple times during our days in Venice because we felt it gave us a closer connection to the local culture than the typical tourist spots. Valentina pointed out some great spots to eat and to get gelato (one of our favorite things to eat in Italy). We highly recommend booking with Valentina early in your visit to Venice.
A Great Experience

Marzia was a very knowledgeable, fun guide! She was patient with us and changed our meeting point to accommodate us since we took the wrong water taxi to the original meeting place! A great way to get to know the wonderful city of Venice!
Great customized tour with Romy

Romy gave us a great customized tour of the city.
We had seen a few of the top sites on our first day in Venice, so she accompanied us on a tour of the Grand Canal on the vaporetto and then walked us through the beautiful Cannaregio region. She spoke English well, was professional and polite, interesting and prompt. We enjoyed Romy’s tour a great deal!
Great Venice Experience!!

Claudia was very prompt and organized..Having grown up in the middle of Venice was definitely a plus in terms of giving us a real insight to the city..Perfectly suited to guide an off the beaten path tour..
