Great tour! - Gianmarco was an amazing guide. Local knowledge and provided a great lay of the land to get your bearings on the city. The tour helped set me up to enjoy the palazzo and other sites even more.

Learned a lot about this unique city! - Valentina was not only very knowledgeable but also friendly, witty, and above all, patient. She really took the time to get to know all nine of us on the tour (and answered all our questions!), while providing us with lots of fun facts and insights into Venice’s history, geography, and culture, as we weaved our way down streets and alleys, across squares (fields), and over bridges. A great way to spend two-plus hours that takes you beyond seeing just the “must see” landmarks!

Informative, quick walking tour! - Very informative walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered every question the group asked! You do go up and down many stairs, but that is to be expected in Venice.

Interesting, but do not recommend for children - Julia was an excellent guide. She is a native Venetian. She shared many interesting facts. I appreciate that the tour took a less crowded path. The starting place was odd. The colorful wall with art is really your only indication that you are in the right place. I like history and facts. Very straightforward. I can’t say that I was wowed, but it was of decent value for the price. This is not the tour if you want to be entertained. I think children would be extremely bored.

Excellent Tour - What a wonderful fun time we had on this walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, answered questions thoroughly & with patience - and was a joy to learn from. Not only was his tour great but he mentioned an excellent restaurant (Enoteca Al Volto) in Venice. So, we tried it. It was the BEST meal we’ve had in Italy - filled with what seemed to be only locals! Thank you!

Get to know Venice with Valentina! - Valentina was quite lovely. She was welcoming, very knowledgeable and made it fun. She made sure the group was acquainted with each other before we began and was thoughtful enough to get a picture of our group at the end for a souvenir. We wry much enjoyed her tour and would highly recommend her.
