Great day in Venice - Our guide Giussepina did a great job of pointing out the important features of the area and was extremely knowledgeable of the history and architecture of the city. She provided us the flexibility to customize our tour to meet our goals for the day. She made some great recommendations and also advised us on what to avoid. A great tour from a very engaged local

Venice and Murano Private Day Tour - I'm late in writing this review (sorry Nicola). We used this company in May 2023. Not only did we do this tour in Venice, but we did two additional in Rome. Every tour guide and driver we interacted with was great. These private tours offer so much more learning and behind the scenes sightseeing than your typical group tour. Highly recommend this company, and will definitely use them again!

Flexible Tour with VIP Service - The tour was very flexible and catered to our interests. Ketty was a wonderful guide. She made us feel like VIPs. We learned so much from her about the area. We loved our time on Murano where we saw glass blowing artisans in action and toured a gallery. We saw everything we wanted to see in a short time, and had delicious coffee while learning the secrets to ordering like a local.

Outstanding Introduction to Venice - Guisy came to our apartment to make hooking up easier. We spent several hours walking around Venice, seeing all the touristy sights as well as many behind the scenes places most tourists don’t see. Once time for lunch she selected a great restaurant near the Grand Canal for us. While we were eating she went and arranged a taxi and tour for us to spend some time over on Murano touring the Murano glass factory. It was a great day. We all highly recommend Guisy for your Venice trip.

Fantastic, - We had our tour with Fillipo. He was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and took us to places we had never seen before and all the places we had want to revisit. We would recommend Fillipo to anyone and our friends.

Awesome - We thoroughly enjoyed our 4-hr private walking tour with Roberta. She was delightful and very knowledgable about Venice. Our family of 5 just wouldn't have had the same experience in an unfamiliar city with so much history and sightseeing to offer.

Good and Not So Good - We had a local young lady as a guide, bright, lively, and very knowledgeable about Venice. The trip to Murano was interesting but tour time was wasted on being stuck in a sales venue, the glass museum, nice to see but did not like the pressure.
