We had a lovely tour with Benedetta -- she took our requests seriously and put together a tour that perfectly aligned with our preferences. She obviously knows Venice well, having grown up here. She also struck the right balance of giving us lots of interesting information but not overwhelming us with commentary. We would recommend her highly.

The knowledge and preparation by Fortunato. He provided a lot of of the history that we wanted to know about. He was a very personable and enjoyable to hang out with.

Benny was WONDERFUL! Had an amazing time seeing the iconic sites, laced with personal touches and insights that were very special and gave a human touch to Venice. My guide was well connected and beloved, where we had interactions with vendors, markets and water taxis, etc. - so I felt like I was a Venetian for a day. Most importantly, I gained the confidence I needed to explore the city with ease, for the remainder of my trip! Thank you so much Benny and City Unscripted!

Roko was a great tour guide, explaining the cities history and showing us interesting places. Especially when we discovered a church used in an Indiana Jones movie! So fun even in the rain! Thanks Roko!
