One of the best decisions we made on this trip was to have a private tour of Venice led by Benedetta. She is very warm and friendly, and clearly she is passionate about Venice. Prior to our trip she was gracious enough to answer several question I had about the area and that helped me plan better. We had a really great time. Thanks Benedetta!

It was very refreshing to be in the hands of a well seasoned tour operator who not only knew his subject, but had personally lived his subject for well over 50 years. Roberto was able to share his personal family history, as a Venetian and the places here in his family lived, worked, shopped, and eight as only a local Venetian could
