Amazing Tour
Veronica was the best. Her knowledge about Venice, The Doges Palace, and Saint Marks were captivating. We did numerous kinds of tours while in Italy and Veronica topped them all. She took time to get to know us as well. The experience was personalized while still very professional. Communication was superior throughout the entire process. We hope to see Veronica again.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!
My husband and I were fortunate enough to choose Veronica for our private tour of St. Mark's Cathedral and the Doge's Palace in Venice. She was so passionate and knowledgeable, and her enthusiasm made us enjoy it more than we ever would have on our own or with an audio tour. The process was a breeze and she touched base with us as we made our way to our meeting point so finding her was easy on a crowded day. Without her expertise, we would never know what we were looking at. She answered our many questions and gave us insight that was fascinating. I can't recommend her enough!

Excellent kid friendly tour!
Lucia was terrific. We had a group with a wide range of ages including kids ages 7 to 13. Her tour is set up to be engaging with children, and they stayed engaged for several hours. It was also informative for the adults. I would highly recommend her especially for families. I’d love to come back to do some of her art tours for myself - another time!
