Wonderful insight into Venice

Anne_K, 11-10-2022

Our guide, Barbara, gave us a wonderful insight into the history and culture of Venice. We learnt so much in a short time. She took us away from the crowded areas into fascinating little back streets. We had a lovely time with her.
The tour company was also very good to deal with when we were late. One tip: if you are coming to their office by Vaporetto, the closest stop is Rialto.

An amazing experience!...

An amazing experience! Our guide took us to places off the beaten path and told us amazing history of those places. She was very knowledgeable and personable. Would recommend to everyone!

Perfect half daytour

A very balanced tour for the family not too fast not too slow.
Learned loads of new things and the little one was very intrigued by the history of Venice

Great Tour with a Fabulous Guide!

CYNTHIA_C, 14-05-2022

This was such a wonderful experience. This was our fourth trip to Venice and also the best tour we have taken. It was our sister-in-laws first time and the tour guide managed to make it fascinating for all of us.

Luda is a local guide, born and raised here. She took us to some back ways gems that I have never seen before. Her knowledge of history and her pride at being a Venetian is evident. She was very kind to share her experiences of growing up in Venice.

I definitely recommend this tour and if all possible ask for Luda. She is so charming
