We had a wonderful tour with a knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating guide, Tullia. She had wonderful insights into the history, neighborhoods, open market, culture, and beauty of Venice. Even though we peppered her with questions, we never found the bottom of her wellspring of knowledge about the city, San Marco Basilica, the Doges Palace, and all things Venice (including a GREAT restaurant recommendation!! Rossopomodore was the perfect post-gondola pizza!) Highly recommended

Ottavia from LivTours was great and we enjoyed the tour very much. She explained the history behind the key sites in great detail and helped us take some fantastic pictures.

Very informative. Easy walking throughout the tour. The skip the line passes came in very handy with all the crowds that were present. Overall a very good experience. The gondola ride was a perfect way to end the tour

Our tour was great. Paola was the best. We enjoyed it so very much!! She showed our group of 8 the best day. I would recommend this tour very much and especially with Paola.

We had an awesome tour at the glass studio! We got a set of glasses and a pitcher! It’s perfect to remember our time in Venice! Then Alice took us to Burano island. We had delicious gelato and bought a lace handkerchief. This was our second tour with Alice, and we are sad to say goodbye to her. Hopefully is “ see you later”

The gondola ride, St Mark’s Basilica, and spending time with our tour guide Tullia. Tullia took great care of us, especially my wife, who has mobility issues. This is a great tour. Request Tullia if possible.

Chiara is a kind, warm, professional and wonderful person and tour guide. As a native Venetian, she offered unique insights during our tour. My family learned a lot from her and we felt very comfortable asking her questions and we really appreciated her guidance and hospitality. She was very patient with our 12 year old twin boys. We had a great time walking around Venice with her and saw and learned things we wouldn’t have seen without her. We enjoyed our time together and recommend Chiara and her tour highly. Thank you!

We had a full day tour in Venice with Marie, she was gifted at sharing comprehensive insight into the history, society, art and development of the country. Not only did we learn a great deal about this beautiful city, we also enjoyed every minute with our fabulous guide! She navigated every aspect of the city and sights with such ease and knowledge. We have had many guides and none compare to Marie. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this beautiful city with such a wonderful lady!!

We met Martina at the Rialto, she started off with a wonderful tour of the markets, the spice street, where the finance markets had been- just wonderful. We toured the Piazza San Marco, the Doge's Palace and the Basilica. Her breadth of knowledge on so many topics was fantastic, the history, the religion, it was all wonderful. Martina took us to the BEST Gelato spot and we ended out day with a gondola ride. We loved it all!

Roberta was amazing. Her knowledge of Venice was perfect for us. We got to see the market and all the things on my list in Venice. Thank You so much, Roberta.
