Private Walking Tour - We had a fantastic time with Alesandro. He was full of knowledge and very passionate about the city. We toured the Basillica, he showed us around and then provided excellent recommendations.

This tour was very informative and... - <p>This tour was very informative and we wished we had booked this tour at the start of our stay. Guide was very passionate about Venice and gave our small group a lot of information regards Venice and its history. I would recommend this tour and suggest you wear comfortable shoes. Tour was around an hour and a half, wish it had been a little longer.</p>
