Everything about today just made me happy. The whole experience was just amazing. Our family loved everything about Venice, but this tops the cake. Emanuele is so knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely kind. This was our first time in this magical city and I hope it’s not our last. Thank you for such a great experience. Hope to see you again one day.

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?”

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.

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.

Lucia was great telling us about the history of the Jewish ghetto and the synagogues . We got to tour 2 synagogues as well as go to an amazing artist's shop. She gave us a great recommendation for lunch. It was the first of 2 tours that day with Lucia and it was wonderful spending the day learning so much from her.

Communication with Emanuele was great, but unfortunately he had a conflict and we couldn't meet at the other times he was available. He found Camilla as a replacement. She was very knowledgeable and a local Venetian. We got to see the Grand Canal, Murano, & Burano. Excellent experience.

Emanuele was friendly, knowledgable and energetic. He catered our tour to our time, interests and ability to tolerate the 96 degree heat. We circumvented the area and saw some of Venice, Murano and Burano during our 6 hour tour. He chose the perfect lunch spot to accommodate our mixed age group. Well done, Emanuele. We highly recommend him!

We had a great time with Emanuele and it was an awesome experience. Not only did he take us to great locations but he also showed us local stores and shared local knowledge of Venice, Murano and Burano.

Lucia was terrific. We had a group with a wide range of ages including kids ages 7 to 13. Her tour is set up to be engaging with children, and they stayed engaged for several hours. It was also informative for the adults. I would highly recommend her especially for families. I’d love to come back to do some of her art tours for myself - another time!

Emanuele was maybe the best tour guide we had during a week long trip where we had several guides in multiple cities. He was informative, entertaining, and he personalized the tour to us. We also had an unfortunate medical incident with one traveler and he made sure everything was taken care of. I’d definitely recommend Emanuele.
