We recently did the Backstreets of Venice tour with Karen while on a short break. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour and Karen could not have been more gracious or accommodating.

My sister and I really enjoyed our time walking the backstreets with Mike. It was like meeting a friend from back home who knows his way around. He's learned a lot about the area and is good about sharing the details. We got good recommendations for places to eat, photo opportunities and learned a few things about "little tiny flags"... More
