It was a very enlightening experience. Daisy our guide was sweet and extremely knowledgeable. She gave us a historical perspective of venice in a very entertaining manner. And at the end if the tour she gave us a list of her favorite restaurants and gelato joints, we tried two they were superb, the kind of places locals go to for good food ( not tourist traps). Highly recommend this tour to start your venice holiday.

Interesting, not boring, not too much information, but at the same it allows to feel the Venice. The significant part is out of main touristic routes.

Denise was a passionate Venetian who was an amazing guide. Ducking through the back streets with a range of interesting landmarks along with some history of this wonderful city, we had a great morning. So glad we booked this one.
