Latest reviews from our guests

It was an excellent tour, from the quieter north side to the bustling San Marco. Victoria’s knowledge of the city is excellent, from its fascinating history to arts, architecture, theatre to where movies were filmed. A great tour which enhanced our Venice experience. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

Davide gave us a real insight into Venice life. He was knowledgeable about history, politics, the environment and its impact on Venice and the lagoon. We saw a side of Venice which most tourists wouldn't and we all really enjoyed the tour. We would thoroughly recommend this and loved Davide.

Edoardo was great. Took us to the unseen places of Venice and showed us current art exhibits that will not always be in the city. We toured the well-known parts of Venice, but our guide could show us the parts of Venice we were interested in, such as cafes, shopping, and great views. Grazie Edoardo!!!

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!
