Everyone in our group of 6 English language tourists (there were some German language tourists on the tour also) thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Valerio, our guide, took us around areas that areas that we would have never found on our own and he told us a lot about the history of the areas. He was very friendly and willing to answer questions and provide restaurant and gelateria recommendations If you are interested in seeing and learning more about Venice than what you see in the touristy pictures, you can’t go wrong with this tour.

Marzia was an wonderful guide with tons of stories and facts about Venezia, its residents and story. We visited the Dorsoduro neighborhood and it was worth the money (if you are interested by real resident's life). We were so lucky to be able to view the inside of an old Church closed since many years. I strongly recommend.

We took eight days to explore Paris, Venice, and Rome. This was by far one of the best experiences we had. Our guide was very knowledgeable about local history and culture. He was able to answer all of our questions, made recommendations for dinner (which was amazing) and what kind of wine we should bring home. I will definitely be using this service again!
