Seeing the City Through a Local's Eyes - Our guide was great! We saw so much of the city, and because it was private, we could stop to look at anything we wanted. We even stopped for coffee and a pastry! He also helped us with the water bus and gave a great lunch recommendation. Fun to see the city through a locals eyes.

A Perfect Private Tour of Venice with Boris - Our private tour of Venice with Boris was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip! Boris guided us through the hidden gems and less touristy corners of the city — places we would have never discovered on our own. His deep knowledge of Venetian history, art, and culture brought every street and canal to life in the most fascinating way. One of the most memorable moments was when Boris took us to a charming local café, where we enjoyed a traditional macchiatone — a Venetian twist on the classic macchiato that locals adore. It was a small touch that made us feel like true Venetians. He also recommended a fantastic local restaurant for lunch and even helped us navigate the menu to order authentic dishes we wouldn’t have known to try. Boris is, without question, the best tour guide I’ve ever had. His passion, insight, and warm personality made our day in Venice unforgettable. Thank you, Boris, for showing us the real Venice and making our visit so special!

We had a lovely morning... - We had a lovely morning with Vittoria! We visited parts of Venice that we wouldn’t have found by ourselves and Vittoria shared a wealth of interesting information about life in the city. We were very pleased that we booked the tour!

Interesting and fun - Great history of the lagoon and of Venice itself. Started with major sights and then explored more places off the beaten path.

How to know the real Venice - Our guide was Turkan, who has been a resident of Venice for many years. She showed us the locals' Venice, off the obvious tourist trail, and gave us a lot of information about the city, and places to go. It's really like a friend showing the city.

Wonderful tour - Our guide was lovely and interesting. Really glad we chose the 3 hour tour as we had time cover most of Venice from p.s.marco to ghetto to a charming campo near academia. Thank you

My only regret is not... - My only regret is not doing this the first day we arrived and scheduling a three hour instead of a two hour tour. Camila was great and provided us lots of information to tour around the city. Venice is much more than St Marks Cathedral and Doges Palace. If you are spending a few days here, I recommend taking this walking tour.
