Loris was great! He was very knowledgeable about the city, the local restaurants, and shop owners. He was also very sensitive and mindful of an allergy that we had in our group. He was able to work around that and provided an amazing Venetian experience. Anyone who loves food and drink, in non-touristy settings, this is for you.

On a scale of 1-10 we rate Claudia 20!!
Claudia is not only an amazing tour guide, but an amazing person!! This was by far the best part of our trip. We learned so much about Venice and gained such a greater appreciation for the people and the culture. Claudia took us to parts of Venice we would have never been able to find on our own. We learned so much in the time we had with Claudia and will absolutely be booking with her again when we return. We 100% highly recommend Claudia!!!!
