Latest reviews from our guests

Our tour guide Ludovico did an amazing job showing us the beautiful city of Venice. He took us around the city showing us all the amazing treasures without having to cross the paths of all the other tourists in the city. I truly recommend having your own personal guide when you see Venice as we got to explore things, we would never have been able to see on our own.

Fantastic half day in Venice with Davide. Like exploring on your own with no schedule or guide telling you what to do but an expert on hand for advice, information and insights on all the little details. Venice is a truly wonderful city and there are so many small details and hidden gems off the beaten track it’s the perfect place to have a private guide taking you where you want to go, moving at your pace and keeping you informed all the way. Thanks for a great introduction to this wonderful city, Davide.

Normally tours are boring, fixed and overload you with information you will never remember. His was the opposite in every respect - fresh, dynamic and engaging. Thanks for a great day, which made us feel like welcome guests rather than tourists
