History and food tour in Venice
We had a great experience with Giada on our three person private tour through Venice with a great blend of the main must-see sights, some hidden gems and food & beverage recommendations everywhere we went. Giada knows her city inside out and is an extremely gentle and kind person whom speaks English very fluently. Her recommendations for restaurants and other food places were exactly spot on for our taste. We can only recommend her!

Fabulous tour! A
Adair was just a wonderful guide for us. Attentive, personable and full of information. It was so helpful to understand the formation of Venice and how each area has evolved.
We stopped for chichetti and now our favorite spritz 'Select'. We all shared little bits of info and she shared many stories of her own and of well known Venetians. It was a fabulous afternoon and we are so glad to have had her show us Venice!
