We chose to take this tour by boat and it was fantastic! Niccolò was friendly and knowledgeable about all things Venice. He took us to some “off the beaten track” places. The whole tour was a feast for the eyes! Highly recommend.

We were lucky enough to have Marzia for our off the beaten track walk of the Durosduro area of Venice. We started off as strangers but very quickly became friends due to Marzia’s warm and engaging personality. It was raining when we met and she offered to take us for a coffee (which we declined but it was a lovely thing to suggest) and got underway. The tour took us to places we would not have found or seen on our own. Marzia has a palpable passion for her city, and its history and culture, and we felt very fortunate to hear stories personal and historical as we walked. The pace was perfect, the information interesting and the whole experience a delight! We left with a wealth of information and a list of restaurants and cafes too. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marzia for any tour, thank you so much for showing us your city.

We had a brilliant time with our guide Giada, she was very knowledgeable and really good fun too. We saw beautiful churches and amazing artwork as well as some of the hidden piazza's and streets of Venice not on the usual tourist tracks. We learned so much about Venice too. Thanks Giada, it was just like taking a stroll with a good friend.

Claudia was so kind and shared fascinating information with us, specifically tailored to our group. We really enjoyed learning more about the more residential, non-tourist side of Venice and plan to return to the city. What a beautiful, historical, and lovely city to visit!

Giada was excellent. From the flexibility in our tour time when some of our travel arrangements got changed, to the completely personalized tour based on what we were looking for, she met and exceeded all expectations. She was very informative, very easy to talk to and made us feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend using her.

Valentina gave us an awesome tour of Venice on a rainy, crowded day. She took us off the beaten path to give us a sense of Venetian life while ensuring we saw the ‘tourist highlights’. She recommended a place for lunch and kindly called the restaurant to ensure it could accommodate my gluten intolerance!

My daughter and I had a great tour with Marzia. She took us to areas of Venice where there were few other tourists, which we appreciated. She had great stories and a great store of knowledge about Venice. I would highly recommend her!
