We were in Venice the first week of May, and Federica Chiuch gave us an excellent tour of the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica. Our situation required special attention as one of the four people in our group was in a wheelchair. Federica was well prepared and well aware of the obstacles that these sites presented for the wheelchair.... More

Like others, my husband and I learned about Discovering Venice Walking Tours through Trip Advisor and we are so, so glad we booked a tour with Antonella on the first day of our short 2-day visit! It was, as I had hoped,the best way to get acclimated in a new country where we didn't speak the language, and where everything... More

My husband and I have just returned from a weekend break in Venice and as it was our first visit we decided to book a private tour guide. Federica led us perfectly through the maize of things to see and no matter what she spoke of, it was done with enthusiasm and competence. Her knowledge about the history and the... More

After traveling through Europe for over a month and having seen enough churches and castles, we asked Antonella to show us Venice through her eyes. She took us through the quiet back streets of Venice and not only explained to us the history of the area but showed us the way of life of the Venitians who live there She... More

We booked Antonella for a 3 hour private tour following reviews on tripadvisor. We started with a tour of the Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Square and finished with an hour's private water taxi ride. This was our first trip to Venice and we would highly recommend anyone to book Antonella for a similar first time trip, she is a most... More

Since this was my first trip to Venice and I only had about 48 hours on the ground, I decided to hire a tour guide for the first morning, and then use the knowledge I gained to plan the rest of my short stay. I'm so glad I did, because Antonella was AWESOME! (I found her on TripAdvisor.) She sent... More

We traveled to Venice in mid-April with another couple. We are empty nesters in our 50's. Antonella took us on a very informative walking tour of Venice, through St. Mark's (which she timed perfectly so we left the church as the noon bell was being struck), and on a water taxi tour throughout the canal system. She even walked us... More

My wife and I visited Venice at the end of March. We had a wonderful time which was made even more special by two tours provided by Antonella and Frederica from DiscoveringVenice. They are both excellent guides with a wealth of historical and practical knowledge which was both fun and very interesting - not too heavy going either - just... More

If you would like to see, experience, and feel real Venice you have to visit Dorsoduro district. Antonella, however, knows how to make it even more interesting with all the information that she can come up with. In Dorsoduro you well enjoy the real romance of Venice, as it is quite and serene. Of course you will need an experienced... More
