We enjoyed our two hour tour of some of the city highlights with Antonella. We had already spent a great deal of time walking around the city but she helped us understand and appreciated not just the history but how the Venetians live today. We had our ten and thirteen year old boys with us and she made an effort... More

Antonella met us at out hotel and we spent the next two hours with her, exploring St Mark's Square and the Rialto Area on a Classical Walking Tour. Antonella was lovely, she spoke great English and was very informed. We would hightly recommend, worth every cent. More

We visited Venice in November and chose Antonella based on the tip advisor reviews. She met us at The Locanda Orseolo, the B&B we were staying at that I also highly recommend. Antonella, knew many things about Venice that we never would have known if not for her knowledge. She guided us through Venice with so many facts and led... More

I direct a short-term study abroad program in Venice every January through Hofstra University. This past January we had a group of 44 students. Monday and Wednesday afternoons were devoted to showing students the city. We visited the Ducal Palace, the Fenice Opera House, the Guggenheim museum and did a walking tour of Castello. As a tour guide, Antonella Fantoni... More

We met Antonella in San Marco's square in freezing weather - literally 20 degrees F. She was right on time and a great sport about the weather. She escorted us through the Doge's palace and San Marco, providing so much great information without overwhelming us. She was so gracious, paying our way into the golden altar and insisting on treating... More

We had a great time with our very knowledgeable and affable tour guide Antonella. She was very well versed with the historical and unique aspects of the city and answered all of our questions. She was also easy to understand and had a good command of English. We recommend her to anyone planning to visit beautiful Venice. More

We had a fantastic tour with Antonella called: Venice and the Jews: the old Ghetto and Cannaregio district. It was indeed incredibly informative and Antonella was lovely, relaxed and very knowledgeable. We were fascinated by all that she had to say - didn't really need to ask many questions! We took our camera - plenty of time to take wonderful... More
