Mattia was a great guide for our family of five, with kids ages 10-15. His style is energetic and entertaining. Our kids (and we adults) really liked Mattia's jokes and humor. Mattia has a wealth of historical knowledge, and makes the art and history come alive for kids and teenagers, which is not always easy. He timed our tour as we wished, to encompass an intro of Piazza San Marco, the Basilica (with spontaneous second floor add on) and the Doge's palace. Don't worry if there's not a lot of communication before your tour - booking Mattia is worth it!Energetic, engaging and entertaining

Mattia was a great guide—informative and enthusiastic. Deep knowledge of history of Venice. Advantage to having a private guide is we could taylor the tour to what we wanted to do. Great tour of History of Venice

Mattia was great! I went with my husband and as he is a real Venetian not only knew the history of the city but current affairs and challenges of the city. It was also quite fun! Bonus points for some good chichetti recommendations.History and current affairs

Mattia understood our brief (please keep us away from the crowded tourist streets) and delivered a perfectly curated tour. We covered in excess of 7km in 2.5 hours, visiting several places we would never have seen without him. He then found us a great little lunch spot! Would highly recommend Mattia as a knowledgeable, personable guideA great exploration of little-known Venice

This was my seventh visit to this pleasure of a place and I'd seen the Doge's Palace before but Mattia's knowledge, insight and enthusiasm added much joy. Adding to the pleasure.
