Amazing trip with Davide! My friends and I had the best time! Very personal and enjoyable to be around. Can’t wait to visit Venice again and tour with Davide!

Davide was great! He was punctual, personable, and knowledgeable. We met at Algiubagio restaurant/bar which had a full menu and bar. He took us to Burano where we met Paula, who taught us about hand-making beautiful lace, which she has been doing for 70 years. We had the best risotto lunch at Da Romano. Our last stop was in Murano where we watched glass artisans craft a chandelier. We had a spectacular time, despite the rain, and I highly recommend Davide!

alexmiller90

We had a great time with Davide! He took us to all the best spots in Murano, Torcello, and Burano and it was great to avoid the large crowds of tourists. We got a great feel for Venice that we never would have had without the tour. Everything was on time, flexible, and easy and we appreciated Davide’s communication throughout. Thanks again!

This isn't your typical Tour, in the good way. Davide is a real local, almost everyone know him and this is what makes this Tour so special. You come to different producer and they tell you all the information. You never feel like it is a shopping Tour, even though , yes we bought a lot . But this is cause the people was so enthusiastic about there tradition... We can't even describe it. My wife and me just said, this was an amazing Tour at the end of the day. WOW!!!!!

aburg27

This was a great activity for our family trip to Venice. David takes you to local places where you learn more about Murano glass, Burano lace, and Venetian masks. It was very informative and entertaining! Would highly recommend if you want a more upscale experience in Venice with an opportunity to shop for authentic Venetian goods.

This was truly one of our highlights for Venice! Davide is a true local who was able to lift the veil and give us a glimpse into life behind the tourism. We had a wonderful time getting exclusive experiences with craftsman and shop makers, browsing the local shops and talking about the history of the islands. It was a fun day and Davide made it very relaxing and enjoyable. If you’re thinking about going out to Murano and Burano, don’t hesitate. Book this tour!

We highly recommend Davide private boat tour. He was knowledgeable and accomadating. He would ask what else we wanted see or do and ended up at a winery do some wine tasting! We felt like he was taking us to visit old trusted friends and not just some touristy places. We felt safe as the sea was really rough that day and rainy with his expert boat driving. Had a really memorable time.

Davide was very welcoming and accommodating to all our needs. His boat was beautiful and clean. Each stop he took us to felt like we were visiting his good friends. They welcomed us, explained the art and history of their craft but never any pressure or obligation to buy. Truly a wonderful experience from a true local guide. We 1000 percent recommend!
