A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Venice is a city best explored on foot and from the water. Where else in the world can you roam vibrant streets, stopping in local campi (or piazzas) to see signs of normal daily life and then on towards your next chosen aperitivo spot in full sunshine, overlooking gondolas gliding past under the 400 or so bridges that connect this city that so absorbs all who get to encounter her beauty first-hand. Must-see Venice is all about packing in the main sights of this mesmerizing city, along with a local insight into what everyday looks like for the locals living within this floating postcard-city.

Armando was terrific. He customized our tour exactly as we envisioned it. It was ideal and his passion for Naples came through loud and clear. A wonderful experience!

Ono was amazing, he went above and beyond. He took us to places that were non touristy, we learned a lot about local history. There was not a question he couldn’t answer. He even helped us to travel to our next destination safely. We would highly recommend him.

Our first time visiting Naples and Serena did a fantastic job sharing her enthusiasm and love of her city while explaining and guiding us through the colorful chaos that makes Naples! Serena answered our questions and discussed various topic points brought up during our tour. We are ALREADY sharing her info with friends traveling to Naples this fall!

My husband uses a motorized wheelchair, and I was having some back issues, causing me to stop and rest frequently. Eduardo was patient and accommodating, and adjusted our itinerary as needed. We were still able to see the sights we wanted and many local areas that we would never have known about. He chose a great lunch site, knew just where to get gelato, helped us get a gondola at the end of our tour, and in general went out of his way to make to make our day special in every way. He exceeded all of our expectations, and we were tired and happy at the end of the day! Thank you!
