Wonderful Experience in Venice 5 Stars! - Highly recommended! We had a wonderful tour with Ama during our honeymoon in Venice. From the very beginning, she was kind, friendly, welcoming, and made us feel completely comfortable. What we really loved was how she balanced history, culture, and storytelling. She shared interesting stories about Venice in a fun and engaging way, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. She also showed us beautiful hidden corners of the city, iconic viewpoints, Rialto Bridge, and St. Mark’s Square. Ama went above and beyond to make the tour special for us. She took many beautiful photos of us throughout the tour and helped create unforgettable memories from our honeymoon. She was always attentive, making sure we were comfortable, enjoying ourselves, and getting the most out of the experience. We also loved learning about Venetian culture, local traditions, food, and daily life. She even took us for delicious gelato and shared fascinating stories about the city along the way. One particularly thoughtful gesture was the handwritten congratulations letter she gave us for our wedding, which was such a lovely surprise and made the experience even more personal. We spent two wonderful hours together, and the time flew by. Ama’s warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine care made this one of our favorite experiences in Venice. Thank you, Ama, for helping make our honeymoon so memorable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice!

Perfect booking for what... - Perfect booking for what we wanted. We visited Venice for a day and wanted to get a feel for the city in a quick tour. Did a 2 hour tour with Hadar. Always awesome. He took us around to some of the key spots, lets us meander through the streets. Took us to a great food pit stop. And ended the tour in his favorite Campo. Great tour.

Francesco in Venice - Francesco was amazing. A true local that showed us quickly the BIG places then we went off the beaten path and explored some of the unknown gems of Venice. Two hours went quickly, but we were glad for his time, expertise, spirt and love for the city and sharing it with us. BRAVO!

Walking tour around Venice - We had a very nice time, Ester was lovely & catered the tour to suit our interests, we stopped for a coffee along the way. We went to areas that we wouldn’t have gone to, some of which were less crowded, she was knowledgeable about the area so that was great. Two hours was enough for us but you can go for a longer time if you prefer

Very pleasant and very interesting - The contact with our guide, Lorenzo De Min, was very pleasant. He gave us interesting information about "real" life in Venice and the historical background of this interesting city. Lorenzo spoke very good German and was very friendly and helpful. He deserved five stars!!!
