We really enjoyed our morning tour with Sebastian. He was lovely and knew everything about the city. The kids really enjoyed walking around with him and we ended the tour with a fantastic gondola ride. Thanks again, Sebastian 😊

I booked this tour at the last minute and it was my first activity, just hours after arriving in Venice. I had a great afternoon learning about Venice from my wonderful guide, Sebastian, a native of the city who was able to share both the main touristy sites and a bit more about the city and its locals and to make recommendations for the rest of my stay. Highly recommend both the tour and Sebastian.

The 3 Euro gondola ride to cross The Grand Chanel to the Fish Market. Wear nice dress and shoes 👞 to get selected to Morano Island for VIP free tour ... Don't miss the awesome art gallery Scuola Grande di San Marco.

Sebastian was an incredible Tour guide. Born and raised in Venice. He truly understood the culture and history intimately. He made it so fun and exciting. I wish I could give him 10 stars!

Highly recommend this tour. Elena, our tour guide, was superb. It felt like she was an old friend, walking us through her home town. Warm, knowledgeable, and extraordinarily kind, Elena brought Venice’s history to life. And the gondola ride at the end was the perfect ending. If you are on the fence about this tour, do it. You will not regret it.
