Processco Hills

This is a great experience in the Processco Hills. You get to experience the beautiful countryside, wineries, food and the knowledge of wine makers. One winery is commercial and the other is organic. So interesting to see the different processes. Lunch at Antica Osteria was true Italian at its best. Carlo is a delight. This was our second time on the tour and would recommend and definitely go again.

Knowledgeable, Passionate, Unforgettable

Lucia was a wonderful guide for our tour of Doge's Palace & St. Mark's Basilica in Venice! She was so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the history of both sites, and we came away having learned so much. Her enthusiasm made the whole experience even more memorable — you could tell she truly loves sharing this incredible place with visitors. Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica are must-sees in Venice, and Lucia is exactly the guide to help you appreciate them fully. Highly recommend!

Private tour with Stephen, a young man raised in Venice. It was so interesting to be able to ask him about his upbringing, going to school and living in Venice. We learned so much about the history of Venice, including lots of interesting facts about the wooden pilings. The city was built on that litter, petrified, and became able to support much more weight. Got us out of the crowds and into some quieter spaces.

Amazing from start to finish

This experience with Moses was unbelievable. After a rough start to our vacation this couldn’t have been any better. His passion and love for Venice you could feel. He was very nice and would take his time going through each room. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Venice and request Moses if possible.

You'll go to authentic places you might not have otherwise seen

When in a new city, it's great to have an expert who has lived there for a long time to take you to the places you might not have seen otherwise. I enjoyed meeting the mask maker and finding an authentic Italian family-run restaurant. Loved learning some quick history about some of the sites too!

This was a great way to see the main highlights of Venice in a short period of time. Marco was a great guide who lead us through Doge Palace and the cathedral. There is absolutely no air or air flow in either building. Our tour was at 9am and it was HOT. Finishing up the tour on a gondola ride was the icing on top.

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!
