The beauty of experiences is that they aren’t just lived, they linger like echoes in memory, sometimes more vivid than the present itself.

AFTER CHRISTINA I LOVED EXCURSIONS - Now I want to learn everything about the history of Italy from Christina... and about other countries too!! An amazing guide, in an hour we were immersed in the history of the times of the Veneti, Huns and Romans - TOTALLY. It was such an easy and relaxed walk, but during the excursion we learned so much for ourselves, we learned so much new, non-superficial information!!! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Hidden Venice - We took Christine on a Hidden Venice tour. A tireless excursion for tourists coming to Venice not for the first time. We learned a lot of unexpected facts. Christine is undoubtedly a knowledgeable and well-educated man. We were wondering.

Venice with an interesting pitch - Visited Venice accompanied by Christine. There are 4 of us, including children (7 and 14 years old). Everyone was excited. The tour is lively, without dry historical material. Christina answered all the questions not only about the history of Venice, but also about the modern life of the city. We recommend it!

An unforgettable excursion - Christine, thank you so much for the tour! We've all enjoyed it so much, you've had a very quiet time. And when you left, I also wanted to keep talking to you and playing and getting to know the city. I thought it was definitely a short hour with you, two or three. Thank you very much again!
