Sylvia was a super friendly and knowledgeable guide. Great to get insights of Venice from a local! Great pace of tour, very relaxed and Sylvia always made sure everyone was happy and answered all questions ☺️ highly recommend!

Misleading tour. Didn’t see Rialto Bridge and didn’t see St Marks Square. Said tour capped at 10 guests but we were 16. Gianmarco was knowledgeable and told some great stories but was left disappointed

Giada was truly a great and informed tour guide. Loved hearing about the history and architecture of Venice, and while they promised less than 10 people (we had 12 and 2 don’t show which means 14), but it was ok. Giada was great with taking us places slightly off the beaten path. Venice is very very busy though.

Really enjoyed this tour. Perfect way to see Venice and learn a lot about the history. Our guide was Julia, she is from Venice and was able to provide a lot of information and was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend this tour.
Kirsten_S, May 2026
Amazing experience in Venice! The tour was well organized, the guide Julia was excellent, and we got to see both famous landmarks and quieter hidden spots we never would have found on our own. We learned a lot of history from her as she is a native Venetian. Definitely worth it and would absolutely recommend it to others visiting Venice.
Amy_C, May 2026
Our guide, Alice was wonderful. We had 11 people on the tour which was as big as we wanted. We learned a lot of fun facts and had a wonderful time.
Patrick_P, May 2026
Julia was awesome. Knowledgeable and fun, she kept the tour interesting. Would absolutely recommend this tour again.

Very relaxing but a ton a walking. Very informative. Extremely knowledgeable guide. The start point was further expected.
Scott_M, May 2026
Julia was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable! We visited sights we didn't previously know of and has a few laughs!
Samuel_R, Apr 2026
Tour guide was a local who was very knowledgeable about the local area and shared lots of history with us. Very friendly, highly recommend!
Stephanie_F, Apr 2026
Fantastic tour taking you round two main islands of Venice with local knowledge and facts to give you great insight into how past and current Venetians live. Speakers and earpieces provided which worked perfectly.
Rebekah_F, Apr 2026
Amazing experience with Jada! She is enthusiastic, so extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour with her to anyone. Thanks again to her!
Sophie_V, Mar 2026
Our walking tour was absolutely brilliant—Alice was amazing. She gave us a unique perspective on two sides of Venice: the modern city and how locals navigate everyday life, as well as the grandeur of the 16th-century capital of the Venetian Republic.
The tour was fun, educational, and definitely not boring! I would happily come back again.
As a local, Alice also gave us plenty of great advice on where to go and where to eat, and her recommendations were excellent. As an art historian, I especially appreciated her insights, particularly when she pointed out where we could find original paintings by Titian.
Amy_C, Mar 2026
We absolutely love this walking tour and enjoyed all of the cultural & historical information shared with us. Our tour guide was a local from Venice so that added to the wonderful experience. We were very impressed and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Venice! Don't miss out on learning more about Venice through this exceptional walking tour!

Excellent tour with Michaela as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and informative.
Most of us had not been to Venice before, so we appreciated all the information, as well as the chance to see some less travelled areas.
Jonathan_S, Jan 2026
The tour is fine but it’s not exactly the top ten things to see or anything. Ironically the tour retraced our steps to getting to it. A lot of time spent standing around at the beginning talking about the history of Venice. Which is ok if you didn’t already know that. The guide was good but I don’t think any of us thought this was a highlight of our trip.
Joanna_A, Dec 2025
We had a great tour guide! Lots of history and very informative! Take your walking shoes! I definitely recommend!

Julia was our guide and she was so great! We lucked out with what was basically a private tour, and this is the off season. Having been born and raised in Venice, Julia's knowledge of the city was tremendous. She was such a lovely person for my sister and I to spend an afternoon with. We saw so much of Venice and learned a great bit of the city and surrounding islands. No water taxis required for this tour. We walked the entire route and saw so much. Would highly recommend!
Alondra_S, Nov 2025
Iran’s was fantastic! I saw parts of Venice that I had never seen! She was very knowledgeable and guided our small tour expertly! Would definitely recommend her tour to anyone traveling to Venice!
Patricia_M, Nov 2025
Our guide Julia did a fantastic job. She provided interesting history of Venice and of the various buildings and squares we visited. She never rushed through and answered all questions in detail. Julia clearly loves her city and appears to enjoy sharing her knowledge. I learned more than I had expected. The small group was an added plus.
Randy_R, Nov 2025
What a great overview and history Flavia provided us. The tour was at an easy pace and the small group we had was nice.
Christine_H, Nov 2025
Julia was great! We learned a lot about the city and left with a list of local recommendations for bars and restaurants.
Randal_K, Nov 2025
They changed the meeting location on us, too late for us to attend. We don't have our phones on 24/7 when out of the country. We use wifi talk, text, e-mail, so we were unaware of the changed meeting point. When we found out, we texted them for a place to meet them, but received no response. We then texted asking if there was a later tour same day, but received no response.
BillieJo_P, Oct 2025
This tour was interesting and informative. We walked many places off the beaten path that we would have never seen otherwise. The unusual local lore and history was really fun to learn about. We found it a wonderful way to view this most unique city.
Rosemary_W, Oct 2025
I have been here several times before. It was a refresher course! It was good and pretty fast paced!
Heather_B, Oct 2025
Enjoyed the information of past history of the lagoon to present day life for citizens of Venice and Menstre.
Joanna_C, Oct 2025
Valentina was a lovely tour guide. Well informed, inclusive, funny and able to answer all our questions. She showed us bits of Venice we would never have seen on our own and it was much more alive than reading it in a book. Highly recommended
Brenda_v, Oct 2025
Valentina was very personable and knowledgeable. She made our tour fun despite the pouring rain and wet clothes.
Charles_A, Oct 2025
The tour guide, Valentina, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour, went out of her way to make sure everyone in the group got their questions answered and needs met. Her knowledge of the city was superb, and for us visiting for only a short period, we got a good deal of the history of the city and the significance of the most important landmarks without being overloaded. We would strongly recommend this tour, and will very strongly recommend Valentina as the guide. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you.
Helen_Y, Oct 2025
It was a very interesting tour of the city from someone who lives there. Annalisa was great and happy to answer any questions. She was very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour. Would recommend.
