Such a lovely intimate tour with a local

Lara_P, Jun 2024

We had such a lovely tour just us and the guide who had grown up and still lives in Venice. It was nice to know about the history and it's people and be shown Venice from a locals point of view, hear about how it's changed as she's grown up there etc. Would highly recommend this tour and a added bonus was it was just us with the guide!

Guide excellente, parlant très bien en français. C'est notre 2e visite à Venise et elle nous a montré des endroits que nous ne connaissions pas. Merci!

Venezia su misura

Abbiamo effettuato un tour con la guida Rossella. Super brava e disponibile soprattutto nel coinvolgere i nostri ragazzi di 9 ed 11 anni. Ci ha arricchito ed incuriosito con le sue perle nascoste della Venezia meno conosciuta. Grazie e complimenti!

Venezia nascosta

Un bel tour, Claudia è stata una persona moto competente e gentile. Abbiamo visto una Venezia che di solito in turista non vedrebbe e soprattutto con dei racconti molto interessanti.
