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.

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.

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.

Such a wonderful and enjoyable tour. Maris is so gracious and knowledgeable - she made it fun and informative for all of us.

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).

We choose to do this tour as it was my sisters birthday, and it was one of our favourite things we done in Venice! Maria was lovely and clearly loves what she does. We got a great tour of Venice from a local with amazing pastries, honestly could not recommend this more. Also had a fun surprise from Maria that was beautiful.
