We were lucky to have...

Ted, Apr 2026
We were lucky to have Zahra give us a personal tour of key areas of Venice in a last minute booking. I don't think we would have appreciated Venice in our short stay without her expert and friendly guidance - our guide knew exactly the places to take pictures of this beautiful city, allowing us to capture the memorable visit.

Walking tour of Venice with Jack

Sarah_G, Apr 2026
Our walking tour of Venice with Jack was incredible and truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. He has a wide range of knowledge about the region and shared it in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. Jack was also very patient with our many questions and our limited background on the history of Venice. We learned so much and came away with a much deeper appreciation for the city. Highly recommend this tour — it made Venice even more memorable.

Friendly and knowledgeable tour!

Zahra was a delightful guide with lots of information to share. Would use her again as a guide in a heartbeat.

Best tour guide ever!

Melissa_D, Aug 2025
Our experience in Venice was one of a kind! Our tour guide, Sneh, was so wonderful! He worked with us to develop a one of a kind tour going to main tourist destinations and to places where locals go. We enjoyed all of the places listed, plus many more! He knew a lot of history and kept us engaged during the entire tour. He took us to get souvenirs, Aperol Spritz, and gave us recommendations for places to shop, eat, and see after the tour. It was like going out with a friend to see the city! We had great conversation and would definitely do it again! I would recommend this tour, and Sneh especially, to anyone! He made our short stay in Venice worthwhile.

Wonderful tour guide

Raghda was our guide and she was amazing! She was so knowledgeable about Venice and shared places with us that we would never have found on our own. Raghda was absolutely charming! She was personable and funny and the time flew by! We would highly recommend her.
