Reviews

A wonderful guide and beautiful experience!
Marcus_Q, 29-09-2022
Our tour guide was Genny and my wife and I could not have possibly been blessed with a more wonderful person to guide us. She was a wealth of information happily ready to answer all of our many questions about this beautiful city. She showed us through a customized experience and when we were done she went above and beyond to be sure we made it to our next destination safely. We will always remember the experience she showed us as our favorite Venician adventure. We highly highly recommend this tour if you want to experience Venice through the eyes of a true local.

Genny was a perfect guide. She grew up in Venice & her English was excellent. She was very accommodating & catered the tour to the individual.
Alessandro was AMAZING!

Alessandro was absolutely fantastic. Our tour was perfect, we learned so much from him and he truly loved what he was doing. He was incredibly passionate about his city and was full of knowledge. I would recommend this tour to anyone and especially with Alessandro. It was a perfect afternoon and a perfect way to celebrate our honeymoon in Venice! So impressed with this app/company and their guides.
A private, off the beaten path tour of Venice
Johncclayton, 14-07-2021
Lucrezia responded very quickly and made it really easy to book the tour. We’ve been to Venice before and wanted something a bit more personal. Before we met she provided a (big) list of restaurants and recommendations - very nice! We arrived in San Marco and wound our way through lots of little streets until the meeting point - Lucrezia was already there and her tour was informative, interesting and obviously because you are a small group you get all the attention and time to ask questions. I can heartily recommend Lucrezia and withlocals.com, don’t hesitate - just book it - you won’t be disappointed.
Just Average Run of the Mill
Roy_B, 16-10-2021
For a city as fascinating and steeped with history as Venice, our guide’s info and/or enthusiasm for this amazing place was lacking. Run of the mill info was offered…”this is where an Indiana Jones movie was filmed…”. Really!!! That was so long ago, and I am sure other, more contemporary and interesting things have happened in Venice since that filming. A guide needs to assess his/her group and make a judgement call on what info to present to whom. Cookie cutter info doesn’t cut it. One would think the ability to redirect and switch gears with information would be a key skill of any “expert” guide especially after taking 10-15 minutes at the start getting to know us. Maybe (hopefully) this was an off day.
