Great mix of classic historical sights with interesting local places. Covered some fascinating parts of the city. Daniella an excellent guide.

What a wonderful experience we had with Maša as our guide. As a local, she was able to tell us about all the different areas in Venice and how people live - without just rattling off a bunch of facts. We had a lovely 4 hours and saw everything we hoped to. Even stopped for matzoh ball soup in the Jewish Ghetto! I highly recommend a local tour guide - Maša, specifically, if you are in Venice

Annalisa, our tour guide took us to neighborhoods and sites that we will not be able to encounter on our own. We liked the fact that she brought us to the different quarters of Venice and not just the main attractions. My 11 yr old son was also engaged and learned from her. It was a memorable experience and very high yield for the 3 hours she toured us. I left Venice knowing the people more and cherishing being able to visit like a local.

10 min before the tour as I arrived at meeting place. I received a text canceling the tour by the guide

Lidia was very knowledgeable and accommodating to our likes and needs. In 5 hrs we gained a lot of knowledge about life in Venice. Unique.

Daisy was excellent! Definitely local and shared a lot of knowledge that’s more general, as well as historical and also items that were part of her phd research (won’t spoil the surprise for others). Overall, great experience, highly recommend.

Our guide could not have been any more disinterested in our group having an informed guided tour of Venice. We asked her to take us to a certain section of Venice, never happened. To say she was only going through the motions of a guided tour would be an understatement. The worst moment for me was when I asked her to take a photo of our group while standing on one of the canal bridges and she wanted to charge me.

This was just perfect. We found ourselves in Venice on one of the hottest days of the summer. We hadn't been to the city before and didn't really know the best way to hit the major attractions plus do some of the things that we like to do... grabbing quick bites, visiting historic churches, and doing a lilt shopping. We scheduled the tour and were contacted immediately by our guide who allowed us to determine the time that we wanted to tour. We decided that we would go ahead and do our tour in the afternoon in spite of the heat. Paolo met us at our accommodations right on time and we sat down together in the air conditioning and developed our plan. He put together an amazing walk tour for us. We're not ones to hurry and especially in the heat. We needed to make stops for drinks along the route and keep the pace a bit slower. He did a great job of customizing the tour to exactly what we wanted to see and do. Our guide was very knowledgeable and certainly knew the back ways of Venice so that we could avoid the larger tourist crowds. He took us to some off the beaten track artisans to do some shopping and the local establishments to find the more authentic Greek food. We fit everything in without rushing and finished the tour right on time. If you want to hit the highlights in the most efficient manner with expert commentary, this is the activity for you. We highly recommend this opportunity.

We genuinely loved our tour and liked our guide -Hala. She was very professional, sincere and alot of fun. Thank you very much, Hala!

Bomika

Turkan was wonderful. Knowledgeable and engaging. She kept in touch ahead of the tour time so meeting for the tour was at a time that worked well for us. We were able to learn more about the local life. She made great recommendations for places to visit and places to eat. She also tried to involve our 2 teenagers in the conversation which was really nice. We enjoyed the tour very much!
