      Valentina our Venice local guide ~ FANTASTIC!!
      Valentina was delightful. She shared interesting facts and information, was always open to questions and kept us entertained throughout the tour. We were fortunate to have a small group and were able to dive deeper into questions and local history and enjoyed a lot of laughs. We learned enough to feel very comfortable enjoying Venice on our own the next several days.

      Venice walking tour
      Daisy was an excellent tour guide! The walk was so informational and focused on not just the history but the everyday lives of the Venetian people. She took us places we didn’t even know existed. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves knowing more about the places they visit.

      Wonderful walking tour with a terrific guide
      We did the tour on the first day we arrived in Venice which proved to be a great decision. It was a great introduction to such a unique place. Our guide was wonderful, very nice and personable and gave us the perspective of a Venetian living nowadays in Venice, as well as a huge amount of historical context for everything we were seeing. We had a pretty small group so it felt quite intimate and the tour was very helpful to decide what we wanted to see next. Highly recommended!

      Highly recommend this tour. Denise was fantastic!
      Denise was the best tour guide ever! She is a native Venetian, so it was great to hear her stories about life for the people who call Venice home. She is also so knowledgeable about the history of the city and all the beautiful sites we saw. The gondola ride was a lot of fun. My wife could not stop taking pictures. This has been the highlight of our trip to Italy.

      Informative, clear and amazing tour of the secret parts of Venice
      Visited many areas of Venice that there’s no way we would’ve found without this tour. It felt authentic and informative and we learnt a lot about Venice and the people living there. It’s a must see for anyone who really wants to learn a little bit about Venice other than the top attractions and obviously tourist things to do. English was excellent guide has a PHD in history, what more could you want?

      Loved our tour with the most amazing guide Denise!
      Great tour! We loved our guide Denise. She was so knowledgeable but also fun! A true Venetian who went above and beyond and told and showed us so much more than we expected. We felt like locals for a bit, eating the best gelato in a quieter neighbourhood away from the crowds. And went away with many stories and recommendations and tips for dinner and shopping.

      Amazing Venice- discovered hidden gems of the city
      Our guide Daisy was so informative, no question went unanswered. She took us to so many places we had not discovered in our previous days of navigating and getting lost so many times even with gps. Daisy took our group on the tour navigating with just her local knowledge. She was awesome, very friendly and welcoming. If you have the time, it’s well worth the walking tour

      Best Tour Guides in Venice
      I was thrilled with my tour and tour guide, Denise. It was like taking a walk around the city with a good friend who knew everything about the history, art, and details of Venice. And, who spoke English and was a brilliant communicator. The tour went beyond the basics and covered topics about living and working in Venice, restaurant recommendations, and other places to visit for the remainder of our trip. I was engaged for the entire duration of the tour. I wish I had Denise with me for my entire trip to explain the nuisance of the city and show me more. I highly recommend this company and Denise for any Venice tours.

      Good experience and helpful guide
      Our guide Julia was very warm, friendly and helpful. Although we didn’t see a lot of the sites or attractions, we were glad she didn’t spend time hurrying along, pointing to this and that and overwhelming us with sites we couldn’t keep up with. Since it was our first time to Venice, we very much enjoyed her explanations of how things worked in the city, the water wells, the high and low tides, the refuse disposal (oh dear!), and the struggles of local people, especially the younger folks. She also shared a bit of her own story, which we enjoyed and made it feel a bit more personal. We would recommend this tour, and especially our guide, Julia.
