What you’ll do

There’s no denying that this floating city enchants and delights at every turn. From exploring Rialto bridge to the Doge’s Palace, to squeezing in a quick gondola ride, perfectly timed for sunset and a chance for an aperitivo pitstop, you’ll be spoilt for choice. How about a walk through the world's first-ever created Jewish Ghetto, or a passing by Venice’s oldest bridge? If you’d prefer a taste of a locals-only Venice, a visit to Fondamenta della Misericordia may be in order, blending in with the ‘Veneziani’ in locally-loved cafes and traditional shops. Enjoy a full day of exploring Venice, tailored to your interests and with a local guide showing you first-hand both the must-see as well as the secret sights of the Queen of the Adriatic.

    Cheata was the perfect guide. She customised the itinerary to suit my preferences and I saw some amazing sites, including ones I wouldn't have come across myself. She was also kind enough to work a little later to make sure I saw something I wanted to see. As a solo traveller, I felt like I was exploring Tokyo with a friend. She also gave me recommendations for the rest of my stay. Can't recommend this experience enough!

    We had a lovely day with Nik - she meet us on time and was patient when we needed a break. She is a well of knowledge and explained everything very clearly. We loved the places she took us to and especially the market she helped with pricing negotiations. I would fully recommend Nik to anyone who is looking for a fun time experience in Hong Kong. Thanks Nik for making a day special
