Perfect way to get to know the city - Adair was our guide and did an awesome job giving us both the high level history of the city as well as some nice lesser known details. Definitely made the city come alive for us and everything we saw during the trip had more meaning.

Hidden Venice - Sarah, our guide, took us to places in Venice that we couldn’t discover by ourselves. She explained us in depth the history of Venice. We enjoyed very much her tour.

First class - We had the most fantastic morning with Elena. We were a family group aged 12 to 80 and she made Venice come to life for all of us. Knowledgeable, engaging and, best of all, fun. Highly recommend.

Customized tour of Venice with Nicoletta - Nicoletta was a wonderful guide through Venice. She communicated with me before the trip and we were able to make arrangements for a meeting spot that would suit my multi-generation group of 5. Nicoletta showed us everything we wanted to see in our day trip and more. She took us off the beaten path and also gave us the history of the sights. We immensely enjoyed our time with Nicoletta and highly recommend her to other visitors.

Venice with Matteo - We recently spent a few days in Venice in June 2024. We had booked an afternoon with Matteo, and we could not be happier. We had spent a day by ourselves walking around the city main sights, so he adjusted the tour and gave us a whirlwind view of all the smaller neighborhoods of his home city. He is so knowledgeable about the architecture, culture and the art history. Highly recommend.

Wow! What an amazing day in Venice! - Nicoletta was an amazing guide. So professional, knowledgeable and passionate about her city. The weather was not ideal, but it all worked out. We spent 2 hours exploring hidden gems off the beaten track before taking a water taxi with Nicoletta to see Venice the best way you should see the city - through the canals! Nicoletta went out of her way to schedule a tour around one of the Murano glass factories. Nicoletta dropped us off ( by water taxi) at the glass factory and arranged for them to get us back to Venice. We finished our afternoon with lunch at a restaurant recommended by Nicoletta. I could not have asked for a better day!

Venice St. Mark basilica and Doges palace - Our guide was very knowledgeable of the art work and subject matter and showed us many insights to the artist work that We never thought of. She lives in this Venice community so she knew a lot of history.

Excellent Tour of Venice - Giada gave us an excellent tour of Venice. She shared a wealth of knowledge about the history of the city as well as many tips on modern aspects of Venice to enjoy. She’s a great storyteller who ensured we went at a pace that was enjoyable and educational for all of us. Thanks to her recommendation we enjoyed one of our best meals in the city. I highly recommend Giada if want to get an insider perspective on Venice away from the crush of the crowds.
