This tour was amazing. Our guide Julia speaks English and Spanish so well! She showed us all the hidden gems of Venice and avoided the tourist spots & gave great suggestions. Very patient and answered everyone’s questions so well! Highly recommend to get your Venice trip started.

Couldn't complete the tour as people from the group went missing and time was wasted in waiting and looking for them. Valentina was warm, informative and friendly showing us interesting spots which we would have otherwise missed. The heat was pretty high in the 330 pm tour so would recommend an evening time if one can take.

If you’re looking for a fun, good paced walking tour - this is not it!
Unfortunately 22 people were in the tour, much more than 15 and the walking was extremely slow and had frequent stops. Also as a young Australian, you’ll find that everyone on the tour were Americans over 50 years old, so you might feel a bit left out. Tour guide was lovely though, just wish that she walked a bit faster.

Daisy, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. She shared information and history that made our trip to Venice much more memorable. Thank you!
Jewlie_Y, Sep 2024
The hidden gems along the narrow lane ways away from the crowds along with the detailed information on each location provided by our specialist guide. The heat, humidity and our aching joints toward the end took away some of the enjoyment for us.
Vanessa_F, Sep 2024
An awesome way to learn more about the city from a local! She also provided us with a list of the best restaurants, etc at the end.

Super guide with lots of unexpected local information and history of Venice. Nice pace and light hearted. A fab couple of ours to introduce us to Venice....thank you 😀

Daisy, Our tour guide was amazing! She gave us such an interesting tour of Venice and told us lots of cool facts. The only downside was the communication gadgets - the connection kept breaking, and it was hard to hear when we were walking behind more than 10 people. We missed out on a few facts, but overall no complaints. Thank you!
Paulina_S, May 2024
Our guide, Valentina took us around places that we would never visited and she recommended some amazing restaurants. Her knowledge of the city’s history was incredible. It was a great tour!
Gary_K, May 2024
Great tour with Valentina! Thank you for a nice overview of Venice with some interesting history. Definitely recommend!
Douglas_F, May 2024
Excellent walking tour, seeing both popular locations as well as more 'hidden' parts of Venice. Daisy was our guide and she was very knowledgeable about Venice, both its history and in the present. There were 14 in our group, which was a manageable size. I would recommend this tour on your first day in Venice, to help get an overview of the city.
Debra_G, May 2024
Very informative and understandable tour guide. We enjoyed ourselves and learned lots. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job!

Nadia_G, Apr 2024
This was a wonderful tour of Venice, we got to see and learn a lot about this amazing city from Valentina, who was very knowledgeable on the subject. I would highly recommend this tour!
Beata_C, Jan 2024
A fantastic tour with a great guide. Gianmarco uncovered for us the parts of Venice that we would probably never have found ourselves. We received rich historical background of the city, and valuable tips for our own sightseeing later on. We were delighted that we had decided to take the tour.
Paige_H, Jan 2024
Our guide, Denise, was terrific. A Venice native, she had great history and info about the city. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it.
Olga_H, Nov 2023
Our guide Daisy was very knowledgeable and she is passionate about Venice. I was able to learn a lot about the history of Venice and to see things which you will pass without noticing otherwise.
Gabrielle_C, Nov 2023
