Fabulous tour thank you
We had a fabulous morning with Sarah in Venice. When we met, Sarah chatted to us and got a feel for what we would like to see before we set off. Venice was busy because of the Carnivale but Sarah took us to some quieter areas which we loved. We also visited some local craftspeople in their studios and tried the local festival donuts.
A really lovely morning and just what we wanted, thank you Sarah!

Wonderful Food Tour!
Our group of three (my husband and I, and our adult daughter) had a wonderful time getting to know Venice with Giada. She took us to a variety of eateries, where we experienced authentic Venetian cuisine - everything from spritzes to cichetti to chocolate to fritelle. Along the way, Giada shared lots of information with us about Venetian foods, and living in Venice. She even provided us with suggestions for other places to visit during the rest of our stay in Venice. We very much enjoyed our evening with Giada!

Venice with Riccardo, Our Excellent Guide!
We wholeheartedly recommend Riccardo to anyone seeking an insightful, enjoyable, and family-friendly way to explore Venice! Riccardo is an outstanding private Venetian tour guide who made our visit to Venice truly unforgettable. His tremendous knowledge of art and architecture brought the city's history to life, and he shared fascinating perspectives into lesser-known but impactful facts. He guided us through Venice's unbeaten paths, revealing hidden insights that we would never have discovered on our own. In just 2.5 hours, we covered an impressive amount of ground—even with our 6- and 8-year-old children in tow, thanks to his thoughtful pacing and engaging storytelling. Taking in the breathtaking skyline of the city of Venice, right above the Rialto bridge, was truly awesome!
Beyond the tour, Riccardo provided a plethora of authentic local recommendations, from fantastic restaurants and gelato spots to trustworthy shopping spots. We have also used his sage advice on where to best get cash as we continued our travels to Florence. Getting to know Venice intimately, with Riccardo as our trusted guide, was the highlight of our time in the Floating City!
