Discovering secrets of Venice with Elizabeth - On this tour there were only 2 of us. We felt privileged and we have the guide all to ourselves. Elizabeth showed us places we won’t see otherwise. She was very knowledgeable, accommodating and went extra mile for us. We highly recommend this tour and especially this guide

Great walking tour - Takes you off the touristy parts of the city. Our tour guide Elisabeth was very knowledgeable. We learned about the history of buildings and the city. She even went out of her way and met us at our hotel. Made that so much easier for us. We highly recommend booking this tour with Elisabeth. She was great texting us through WhatsApp the day before.

Venice we wouldn’t see otherwise! - Elisabetta took us on a tour of Venice that we would not have seen otherwise. Areas hidden in Venice with beautiful scenery, special shops with stories behind them and places to go to get a drink and food. She was very pleasant and obviously enjoys what she does. We very much enjoyed this tour!

Great tour of little known areas of Venice! - Elisabetta gave us an amazing tour of her side of the island, away from the crowds and hustle and bustle. She gave us history of Venice, some hidden shops and locations we would have never found on our own. It was a great, intimate tour of a Venice we wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

Friendly, flexible, and outstanding walking tour - They were so wonderful working us in as we joined straight from our arrival at the airport. Tour was through quieter, less touristy areas and so informative. They brought the city’s winding streets and hidden corners to life with local insights and gave us great information to help us during our stay in the city,
