Maria was wonderful! She made sure we visited the authentic locations for pastries in Venice. She touched on some of the history, like a chocolate drink that was once a more common drink than coffee! And it was delicious! She took time to meet us at a location close to our rental. She altered the itinerary to provide more opportunities to experience Venice. And she provided us suggestions of locations to eat for dinner. Having a guide with the personal knowledge of the area was great. I'm still amazed how she knew her way around all those streets and shortcuts without Google Maps!Sweet Treats!

Maria was a fantastic tour guide. We booked a 3 hour tour but our six year old was more tired than expected so Maria changed our route to match the family vibe. She also kept touch during our time in Venice giving us some great restaurants to try in our price range. She answered our questions on the tour including some strange ones, like “ what’s up with all these velvet slippers?”Adaptable and informative

We had a wonderful 3 hours with Maria. She was so lovely and thoughtful. She provided options for us so we could direct the tour. As well as introducing us to amazing food she showed us unique sights and shared the history of Venice. Following the tour Maria sent us a number of food and must see recommendations to help us make the most of our stay. We highly recommend this experience with Maria.A wonderful experience in Venice

Maria knew all the best places and shared a bunch of recommendations for later. It was fun to see the different parts of Venice through her eyes. She also did a special reservation for a spectacular view of the city. Pastries and Venice a winning combo

She was kind and accommodating to our needs. We took 3 children with us. She also answers many questions we had and gave us suggestions on where to visit and eat during our stay! A definite must if you are traveling to Venice and looking for an introduction to the city!A delicious time!

Maria was such a lovely host. With all the craziness of Venice, it was amazing to be with a guide that could show us the sweets and treats that locals enjoy. Gelato tastes sweeter when you know it’s made by a family passing their business from one generation to the next. She also found delicious treats my Vegan husband could enjoy. In addition to showing us places to get yummy treats, she also explained some Venetian history and took us to other very special places. After the tour she sent us many recommendations for other food to eat and places to see. We did almost all of them. Our trip to Venice was better because of Maria!Above & Beyond!

Maria was very knowledgeable and kind. She took us to multiple locations we would never have known about. I highly recommend her! She was patient with our daughter and her multiple questions (9 years old). Maria is amazing!

Die Tour mit Maria hat uns sehr gefallen. Wir haben die Führung als Überraschung für unsere Tochter gebucht, die an diesem Tag 8Jahre alt geworden ist. Maria hatte mehrere Überraschungen für uns parat. Der Mix aus Leckereien und Informationen zur Stadt war gut. Insgesamt hatten wir eine schöne Zeit.Eine leckere Tour durch Venedig!
