Adair was friendly and helpful sharing loads of tips on places to visit and eat for the rest of our trip. We had a great couple of hours with her and enjoyed the food and drink on offer. She also showed us a great wee place to see the Rialto Bridge away from all the crowds. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as your guide. Enjoyable afternoon with a great guide

Adair introduced us to the hidden gems of this beautiful city, complete with the tastiest snacks and delicious drinks. From the very beginning, she perfectly understood what we were looking for and ensured that we got to know the real Venice. Her rich knowledge of the city's history added an extra layer to our tour.

It is clear to me that Claudia truly loves her job! She was an amazing guide and gave us a unique and special experience. She made us feel welcome and shared so much with us, it felt as if we were her personal guests rather than tourists.

Bereits im Vorfeld unserer Reise stellte sich Roberto als hilfsbereiter, unterstützender Guide heraus, der uns die Organisation unserer Venedig Reise mit super Tipps bezüglich Restaurants und "places to go" erleichterte. Die Tour war eine Bereicherung und veränderte unsere Sichtweise auf die Stadt! Roberto ist ein wandelndes Geschichtsbuch, kennt seine Stadt wie seine Hosentasche und die Zeit verging wie im Fluge. Immer wieder unterbrochen durch Stopps mit kulinarischen Highlights! Das Deutsch von Roberto ist excellent! Wir können die Tour wärmstens empfehlen!!!! Vielen herzlichen Dank Roberto!Excellente Tour auf Deutsch mit Roberto!

This is not our first time in Venice, so we wanted something different, and so chose the food tour. Claudia exceeded our expectations in every way! In addition to teaching us about traditional Venetian foods, she taught and showed us lots of hidden gems and even took us up to a rooftop view of the city. And adapted it to aboid the super high steps of Rialto Bridge. Claudia is very friendly, smart, well educated and super fun!! It was like taking a tour from one of our family friends. I can highly recommend Claudia for the food tour but she will be great no matter which tour you choose. Best Tour Ever!

My friends and I had the most incredible experience exploring Venice with Roberto. From the moment we met, it was clear that he was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about the city’s rich history, culture, and hidden gems. Roberto took us beyond the usual tourist spots, leading us through charming backstreets, picturesque canals, and lesser-known historical sites that we would have never found on our own. His storytelling brought the city to life, making every church, bridge, and piazza even more fascinating. One of the highlights was his recommendation for a small, family-run trattoria where we enjoyed authentic Venetian cuisine away from the crowds. He also shared great tips on navigating the city and avoiding tourist traps. If you’re looking for a tour guide who is engaging, professional, and truly passionate about Venice, look no further. This tour was the highlight of our trip, and we highly recommend Roberto to anyone visiting this magical city!Exceptional Experience in Venice

Claudia is the perfect guide to explore Dorsoduro! She knows the area by heart and led us from campo to campo showing parts of Venice which are not dominated by mass tourism. And just as easy we got to know a lot of information about contemporary and historic Venice. Claudia is as charming and lively as we imagined a trueborn Venitian to be and we enjoyed the time with her very much!Perfect experience!

Our tour with Mina was an absolute highlight of our time in Venice! He made three hours fly by with his incredible depth of knowledge, engaging storytelling, and well-paced approach. Even our 16-year-old, who isn’t always easily impressed, said this was one of the best parts of the trip. Mina didn’t just provide facts; he truly brought the history of St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace to life in a way that was both fascinating and accessible. He answered every question we had with ease, kept the tour flowing perfectly, and even shared great local recommendations, including a fantastic lunch spot and where to find the best spritz. If you're looking for a tour that is insightful, well-structured, and genuinely enjoyable, Mina is the one to book. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!History & storytelling perfectly combined!

Adiar was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! Our family's recent trip to Venice was made truly memorable thanks to her expertise and enthusiasm. She possessed a remarkable depth of knowledge about the city's history, particularly regarding the intricate architecture that makes Venice so unique. Adiar's explanations were engaging and easy to understand, even for our younger family members. Beyond the historical insights, Adiar also took the time to point out some delightful local spots to grab a quick snack, which was a welcome treat. Her recommendations were spot-on, and we felt like we were experiencing the authentic flavors of Venice. Adiar's warm and friendly demeanor made the tour a truly enjoyable experience for everyone in our family. She was patient, attentive, and clearly passionate about sharing her love for Venice. We couldn't have asked for a better guide, and we highly recommend Adiar to anyone looking for a comprehensive and delightful tour of Venice.

Claudia is a cheerful, knowledgeable, truley born Venezian, who guided us through her town on a Saturday morning. It felt not like a guide, who gives away the prepared story for another time, more as a friend, who is strolling with us through her quartier on a sunny day. We chatted about Venice becoming Venice, the structure of it, advantages and disadvantages of this unique place. The 2.5h passed by like nothing and we will know always be aware of Niklaus last rest, or maybe only tiny parts of him. In addition we will keep an eye on bell-tower forms and referring dates. We gained a competent inside of Dorsoduro, which means 'heard torso'. She left us at Scuola di San Rocco, which was the perfect and mind-blowing ending of a great tour. Thank you a lot, Katharina, Eduard and GretaStrolling through town with a friend

I will never forget our visit to Gianni Camuffo's atelier & shop, his beautiful and unique Murano Glass artworks. There, I bought 'my own gondola' and granchio rosso veneziano for my daughter.

With so many food options available in Venice, I wanted to have someone guide me through the street food options. Adair certainly managed that plus more. She weaved snippets of history into our conversations whilst savouring a variety of foods. Adair made navigating the alleyways look easy and we probably needed her the next day when revisiting one of the cafes! Venice can be overwhelming with food options but that can be made easier when in Adair’s capable hands. Thankyou for providing a great memory of this magical city.Flavours of Venice

While visiting Venice, I had the pleasure of booking a tour with Valerio for fish shopping at Rialto Market followed by home cooking in Murano. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary and truly authentic. We began our day at Rialto Market, selecting fresh, local ingredients under Valerio's expert guidance. From there, we traveled to his lovely home in Murano, where he prepared a mouthwatering multi-course meal, perfectly paired with libations for each course. What made the experience even more special was how hands-on it was—my friend and I got to help with some of the preparations, which made the meal feel even more personal and rewarding. Throughout the day, Valerio’s warm and engaging personality shone. He answered all our questions about life in Italy with patience and enthusiasm, sharing fascinating insights into local culture and traditions. Despite our endless curiosity, he never seemed to tire of our company and made us feel completely at home. To top it off, Valerio provided excellent recommendations for other unique experiences and activities we could try during our trip. His hospitality, knowledge, and passion for sharing the Italian way of life made this tour the highlight of my visit to Venice. If you’re looking for an authentic, unforgettable experience in Venice, I cannot recommend Valerio enough. He is the perfect host and guide, and this experience is not to be missed!A Highlight of My Venice Trip!!

Roberto mixed history, intrigue and story telling seamlessly. He kept us captivated for 4 hours, and showed no signs of slowing down even when our time was over. Roberto’s tour was a great primer, reading us to dive even deeper into Venice’s rich history. Thanks Roberto!Passion for Venice!

Elena is a great storyteller and extremely engaging. Plus, she is a native with a worldview having left the city before. So she understands the nuances of being a Venetian and looking at the city through the lens of a tourist! She was also very informative, we had a great time, in spite of the December winter cold. She was also good with answering questions from my tween/ teenager and made sure we were comfortable whilst walking. I had studied The Merchant of Venice for literature - and Elena gave me the 101 on the key places mentioned in the book and even took us on a Traghetto boat ride! Highly recommend if you're looking to discover more about Venice through the eyes of a Venetian. Best way to immerse in Venice history!

We learned some very interesting facts about Venice as well as about Donna Leon and Brunetti's Venice. A most enjoyable 2 hours. If your a fan of Brunetti and visiting Venice, definetly look at this tour. It was the highlight of our trip. Aside form the tour, Valerio was extreemly helpful in giving us some recommedations for restaurants and some things to do in Venice and Murano. We visited some areas that were definetely not on the normal tourist track, which made the tour that much more interesting. Thanks Valerio!Brunetti's Venice with Valerio
