Claudia was incredible. We had some timing challenges, and she made extra efforts to meet us so that we did not have any problems. She made sure that we were relaxed before we started. And then - WOW! Claudia has so much insider information on the real Venice and its storied history. If you are traveling to Venice and want a fantastic tour away from the touristy crowds, be sure to book with Claudia!!

We did a private tour for two hours with Rocco.
Rocco showed us parts of the city we would have walked right past and was very informative. Well worth the price for the private version!

If I could I would give this review zero stars!! Shortly after we booked this trip we received a message from the company saying they couldn’t manage the time we had booked, offered a new time and different guide - it didn’t suit us as w head other trips booked, so we asked them to cancel and refund. We received no further communication then we got a text and call from another guide (at a time that we had stated we couldn’t manage) saying she was at our meeting point. Now they are claiming we didn’t appear for the booking and taking no responsibility for the lack of communication and we are struggling to get our refund!

This is an amazing experience with Frederica. We learned so much, got some great advice, and fell in love with Venice even more. So worth it.

Tour guide failed to turn up and the contact number they provided led to voice mail. After multiple calls and WhatsApp messages with Viator, the tour was eventually cancelled as the tour provider was uncontactable. It was a complete waste of our afternoon in Venice. Extremely disappointing that we did not even receive an explanation or apology from the them. Not a word.

The Kickstart tour with Alexandra was the best way to start our stay in Venice. She was informative and kind, and showed us all the dos and don'ts when travelling in Venice.

We had a wonderful Kickstarter tour of Venice with Lu. My daughters (17 and 20) were not looking forward to a tour because they thought it would be boring, but they both enjoyed it. Lu did a great job of giving us great information, but not overwhelming us with details. She had pictures on her iPad to add more depth to the information she provided.
We noticed things Lu had mentioned on our tour throughout our trip. She helped to making our trip to Venice more interesting.
We did a tour with a different company the following day (Lu was not available) and we all wished Lu was doing the tour! She is a very gifted tour guide.
We will absolutely contact Lu if we are back in Venice!

We wanted to see and learn about the real Venice during the three days we spent there in May 2023. We booked a private tour with Lucia who showed us how the Venetians live, work and move about these most wonderful mini islands. Besides learning of the best places to eat and the shops to visit, we were shown some of the Venetian secretes and their history that most tourists miss and thus her tour far exceeded our expectations. Lucia really loves her heritage and made us feel so welcome in her homeland.
