Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I began corresponding with Federica Chiuch more than a year prior to our trip to Venice and she was exceptional at promptly answering my many questions and developing our itinerary. Additionally, she was even more amazing when we had to alter our plans because of the extreme rainy weather and she was the consummate professional in making sure we got to see and do all of the things we wanted to do. I would highly recommend Federica to anyone who wanted a very knowledgeable guide to show them the marvelous sites in Venice. She is totally outstanding with a very outgoing engaging personality.

Federica met us at our hotel and walked us around the city in the morning and everything was perfect. She took us down some quieter streets and it felt very intimate and secluded even thought we were in a busy city. We then took a boat tour in the afternoon to Murano and Burano. Federica was so knowledgeable and insightful and we learned so much during the day and saw so many great things. Highly recommend!

I had such a wonderful time the last time I had the pleasure of being guided by Federica, that I knew I needed to book with her again when returning with my family to Venice this year. I was blown away yet again by Federica's perceptive, intelligent and well researched local insight which really brought so much colour and context to our experience. We booked a two day guided tour with Federica including a tour of the main sights in Venice as well as a boat tour to Burano and Murano. She is the only guide I would recommend to others, and who I would call again when returning to Venice. For those who are looking for Mandarin interpretation - Federica also speaks Mandarin! Thank you again for another wonderful experience!

Absolutely Incredible Tour!!! We took the 4 hour walking and boat tour with Federica. I cannot say enough great things about Federica. She was incredibly knowledgeable and just a delight to be with and learn from. The canal/boat tour was really awesome but then the tour of the Doge palace blew us away! She also gave us some great restaurant recommendations for our stay. Cannot recommend Federica and her group highly enough! 5+ Stars!!!

Fredrica was an amazing tour guide. She met us at our hotel, asked what we had seen and what our interests were and then took us on a fabulous tour of places that are off the tourist destinations. Just stepping outside our hotel we learned the fabulous history of the church next door. Every alley opened to a new and wonderful surprise that our guide shared with us. She clearly knows her city well and shares her love and knowledge of the history in a beautiful tour! I highly recommend you make time in your visit!

Federica is an amazing tour guide!! We had all ages and everyone learned a great deal while having fun! We combined walking and the boat which was perfect! Federica adapted the tour to accommodate what we wanted to focus on and we cannot recommend her enough!

Our Jewish Ghetto Tour of Venice was led by Lucia. She was a lovely young woman who is very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Jewish people in her city. We covered a lot of ground, both physically and historically in the two hours time. I feel like she packed a lot of meaningful information into her tour, and relayed it in an impactful manner, without being heavy handed or overly scholarly. She had just the right balance between seriousness and lightheartedness to make the difficult pieces of historical fact not weigh so heavily as to keep the tour from moving on. It’s a delicate balance and she handled it very well. If you are ever in Venice, regardless of your religious background, I believe you should take Lucia’s tour. It’s well worth the time and you will be glad you did.

We booked two tours with Federica for our first two days in Venice. Our visit to Doge’s Palace was enriched by her deep knowledge of Venetian history and art. Our second tour covered many areas of Venice with an emphasis on the arts. It was a perfect foundation for our remaining time in Venice. Federica is a phenomenal guide!

Federica was fantastic! We highly recommend doing a private walking tour of Venice as the streets are very narrow. Federica was kind, informative, and provided a wonderful mix of history and personal insights about Venice. Great tour!

We really enjoyed this laid back tour of the city. It was a treat to be shown around by a local and to hear about daily life for Venetians as well as the amazing history and culture.

Our tour was totally customised for us. The big expense was the hour in the water taxi. Tours without a water Taxi would be relatively less expensive. They have quotes on the website.

Hi there, we are arriving in Venice tomorrow (Saturday 26th May) and wondered if you had any availability in the afternoon or anything on Sunday. We are 2 women and would love to get an orientation of Venice with you.

Hi. We are a group of five and we arrive in Venice on 14th June and would like to arrange a private, personalised tour for 15th for 3 hours or so. Most of us have visited Venice before - indeed I was there just a couple of months ago - so ideally I think we'd like some 'tourist' bits plus lots of information and history and then some more hidden areas, the islands for the glass treasures and even restaurant / cafe suggestions! Please let me know if you can help us and what the fees would be. Many thanks. Sarahjane
