Great day out Prosecco tasting
Lovely day trip to a Prosecco vineyard in the hills outside Venice. Paolo met us on time and gave us some great information on the drive and then Claudia was an excellent host at the vineyard. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner and trying several different high-quality proseccos. The food we had along with the Prosecco was good and plentiful.
Paolo then drove very safely back and gave us lots of helpful recommendations for our stay in Venice. Would definitely recommend.

You will love this tour!
A wonderful tour with delicious local food! Our guide Carlotta was the best- charming, warm, informative, knowledgeable, helpful, and who better to show us the delights of Venetian cuisine than a local young woman who has lived here all of her life? She answered all of our questions and was constantly curious about which food/drink we liked or didn’t like (although there was nothing I didn’t like.) Highly recommended!

An Unforgettable Prosecco Experience with Riccardo!
We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Riccardo as our Prosecco tour guide! From the very beginning, he was warm, pleasant, knowledgeable, and so easy to work with. He truly made the entire day special.
Riccardo taught us so much about the Prosecco region and its history, while keeping everything fun and relaxed. He also went above and beyond by giving us wonderful recommendations for the rest of our stay in Italy, which we really appreciated.
One of the highlights was the incredible Prosecco home he brought us to. It was simply unforgettable—the food was plentiful and delicious, the Prosecco kept flowing, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. It was everything we could have hoped for and more.
Riccardo made this such a memorable part of our trip to Italy. I already can't wait to come back! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic, beautiful, and truly special experience in the Prosecco region. Thank you, Riccardo!

Amazing Private Tour - Highly Recommend!
We had a fantastic day exploring Murano and Burano with our guide, Luca. His knowledge of Venice, the islands and their local history was excellent, and he shared it in such an interesting and engaging way.
Luca was friendly, relaxed and great fun to spend the day with. We loved learning about the history and traditions of both islands while still having plenty of time to enjoy the experience.
A really enjoyable and memorable day and a wonderful way to see Murano and Burano. Highly recommend Luca and ShoMe Venice!

Totally recommended
An absolutely recommended visit. Antonio did an exceptional job, combining the explanations about St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace with numerous historical references that allowed us to understand the context of everything we were seeing. Thanks to his explanations, every room, painting, and sculpture made much more sense. A very enriching experience that I would recommend without a doubt.

Best last minutes in Venice.
Tour Guide Edi and her tour operator Ana were so accommodating as we only had one day in Venice prior to getting on cruise. We booked the tour 2 hours prior and she was on time. She was a great story teller and historian. After the Doge palace and cathedral we enjoyed walking around with Edi and learning about site and places to eat on our visit.

Unforgettable Experience
This Prosecco tour exceeded all expectations. It was authentic, intimate, and thoughtfully curated, with outstanding attention to detail throughout the day. Riccardo was excellent, guiding us with warmth and deep knowledge of the region. Lunch was superb — fresh, local, and beautifully prepared. A truly memorable experience.

Goosebumps - just book it...
What an amazing tour we had with Ottavia tonight. The evening tour of Doges Palace and St Mark's Cathedral was fascinating. St Mark's was especially incredible being such a small group allowed within the cathedral at night. We had goosebumps when the secret was let out.
Ottavia was an enthusiastic and passionate guide who combined her extensive knowledge of Venetian history and art with her entertaining manner of storytelling.
Thank you Otti ! 🙏

Delicious way to see Venice
We had so much fun on the Venice food tour with Cecilia! We learned so much about the specialty foods and drinks of Venice and the origins behind them, which made the experience even more interesting. We actually ended up being the only ones on the tour, and Cecilia never made us feel rushed for a second. It was such a great way to see the city and experience Venice beyond just the typical tourist spots.
Cecilia made the whole tour fun, interesting, and absolutely delicious with all of her choices. Highly recommend!

Denys, our guide, made...
Denys, our guide, made sure everyone was happy with the selection of food provided at each stop. He was the most accommodating guide I have yet to experience. The food stops were very popular. We tried to go back to one for a late lunch and the line was long. Thank you Denys, for your kind, intelligent manner.
