Get lost in Venice with Loris
Venice is a city you want to get lost in, but in a smart way perhaps. Loris helped us to achieve this goal by crafting a personalized tour through the city with our 10 - 14yr old kids. He kept all of us fully engaged, telling us stories about the history of certain places, and particular things we had to pay attention to. All in all a great experience.

Great experience---strongly recommend
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.

Roko made our tour of Saint Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace in Venice absolutely unforgettable. His knowledge of the history and details was incredible—every corner had a story, and he shared it with such passion. He was super friendly, making everyone feel at ease, and answered every question we threw at him (well, except for ones about James Bond movies that were filmed in Venice, lol). Highly recommend Roko for an engaging, insightful experience! Thank you Roko
