Private Vatican Tour - Fabrizio was an incredible tour guide - very knowledgable, personable, patient, and thoughtful. Really helped us understand the privilege we had to see some of the private areas that our tour had access to, as well as consider the Vatican from political, artistic, and social historial perspectives. So grateful he was our guide for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you Fabrizio!

Very well organised private tour of Doge’s Palace and St Marks Basilica after hours - We did a private after hours tour of Doge’s Palace and St Mark’s Basilica. Adriana was our tour guide.
The tour is excellent especially the after hours private visit to the St Mark’s Basilica. To be the one if the very few people in St Marks after dark and to see the Basilica slowly light up from complete darkness inside is magical.
Adriana was very good and explained all aspects in detail.
We really recommend this experience

Wonderful and informative - Venice can be overwhelming with all the islands, bridges, and sketchy (at best) signage (unless you are on a major thoroughfare). This was my third trip to Venice and I was determined to see more than the usual highlights or subject myself to one of the large tours. This tour provided that opportunity. Our guide was very knowledgeable. I thought I had a good working knowledge of Venice's history, but she filled in the gaps and provided many wonderful insights into not only the history, but how people lived in Venice in the past and present. My favorite part was the information on Venice's architecture, to the point where I could look at a building and make an intelligent guess on it's age and the age of any "improvements" (not unusual to have a 14th-century building with another story added in the 1600s). Also, our guide was very patient as both my sister and I use canes and Venice is a real challenge for someone mildly disabled. Our tour of Venice was one of the highlights of our 3-week trip!

Fabulous - Sabrina was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. The tour took us to the tourist sites but also a local market. The great advantage with Livitaly tours are the guaranteed small group size that gives the tour a very personal feel. Very enjoyable!
