Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We loved our tour with Marina. She was engaging and wonderful with our children. "
"Federica was an excellent food tour guide. She is very friendly and knowledgeable of her home town. She tailored our tour to some preferences we had and showed us wonderful hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Great food, great drinks, and finished with some delicious gelato."
"My wife and I had an enriching and thoroughly enjoyable morning exploring Venice with Lucrezia on the Highlights & Hidden Gems of Venice tour. From the very beginning, it was clear that Lucrezia genuinely loves her city and takes great pride in sharing its history, traditions and everyday life. Rather than simply showing us the famous sights, she led us through quiet neighbourhoods, charming canals and hidden corners that we would never have discovered on our own. It was exactly the authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience we were hoping for. What really set the tour apart was how Lucrezia brought Venice to life through her storytelling. Her explanations were engaging, insightful and filled with fascinating details that helped us appreciate not just the city's rich history, but also what it's like to live in Venice today. We also appreciated her excellent recommendations for local bàcari, cafés and restaurants frequented by Venetians rather than tourists. We followed many of her suggestions over the next few days, and they turned out to be some of the best food and wine experiences of our trip. Lucrezia is warm, knowledgeable, personable and incredibly generous with her local insights. Spending three hours with her felt less like a guided tour and more like discovering Venice with a friend who knows and loves every corner of the city. If you're looking for a meaningful introduction to Venice that goes beyond the usual tourist attractions, we cannot recommend Lucrezia highly enough. It was one of the highlights of our time in Italy, and we would gladly book another tour with her on our next visit."
"Lucrezia was very professional, knowledgeable and really showed her love for Venice! We discovered many things with her and can’t thank her enough for her time with us! "
"We toured Mazzurbo, Burano, and Murano today with Lori’s. This was our second tour with him and once again he did a fantastic job planning the day. The pacing was very good; he planned breaks for coffee and made sure we got to see the beautiful hidden sights of the islands. Loris knows so much about the history of Venice, about the culture of the different islands around Venice, and about food and wine. He took us to a wonderful little restaurant on the island of Murano and then we toured a very unique glass shop. We grew fond of his leadership and companionship. The next time we come to Venice we hope to go on more tours with Loris."
"Loris took us through many districts sharing history and culture and food along the way. He shared so much with us and treated us to many Venetian traditions. It was a lovely evening and we really enjoyed it all. Spritzs and fried mozzarella, lots of fish and cheese, and gelato to wrap up the tour— we were quite satisfied and found the hidden gems very enchanting."
"Federico was really great. He made the tour so interesting and added a big dose of humour which was perfect for our family "
"We had a 3-hour guided tour in Venice and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Venice, its history, and its culture. It was obvious that this is much more than just a job for him – he truly loves what he does. Beyond his expertise, he was also a very warm, friendly, and engaging person, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We learned so much and the three hours flew by. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Venice who wants an informative, authentic, and memorable experience. Thank you for a fantastic tour!"
"Adair was a wonderful guide for our visit to Murano and Burano. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering such a visit."
"Fun, energetic, knowledgeable. Able to cater to our food preferences"
