Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a great time with Lucia in the Scuola Grande San Rocco. She’s great company and hugely knowledgable. Despite having read up quite a lot before hand, we learnt lots of new things. She’s very good at interpreting the paintings as well as telling you about the history. Our sense was that she was particularly good at being able to adapt what she says to the existing knowledge of her audience, which we found really helpful. Suspect she’d be just as good with people who know very little as those who know a lot! Mille Grazie Lucia, it was delightful to meet you and we had a lovely time!"
"Our entire group were enthralled with Lucia’’s Venice biennale Collateral art venue tour! She set the stage with some important historical facts and encouraged us to see the Accademia artworks to provide a basis for the contemporary art we were about to see. We were taken to off the track places providing a range of different Biennale artworks and also venues that were special in their own right. Favourites were the art school installation and the Nigerian Pavilion. Lucia gave us some tips of venues to see beyond the tour. Lucia gave a tour from an authentically Venetian perspective and her love for the city shone through. We could not recommend her more highly!"
"We had a wonderful tour of the Galleria dell’Academia with Lucia! She’s an expert in her field and her enthusiasm is infectious! I thoroughly enjoyed her tour and would happily recommend her!"
"Lucia was absolutely lovely to work with. Lucia engaged the kids and took them on a cultural treasure hunt. She was amazing and had so much energy. She was very knowledgeable and kind and our children ( ages 8,10,13) really loved her. I would highly recommend a tour with Lucia."
"My guide, Lucia, was awesome! So knowledgeable about the Gallerie Accademia and the area around it. Even showed me an alleyway that locals, rather than tourists, use. The information she passed on to me was, in a word, priceless. This tour is wonderful! Thank you!"
"The tour with Lucia was amazing. After taking us to the Gallery of Academia and taught us a lot of history of art, Lucia walk us through the heart of Dorsoduro and showed us a few secrets of the city. Always with a smile on her face, she also gave us some great tips for the rest of our stay. We definitely recommend everyone to book a walking tour with Lucia. Good value for money."
"Lucia was very open on our communication prior to our tour at the Gallerie dell’ Accademia. She graciously accommodated our request to focus the tour on the artwork at the Accademia. She met us punctually and with an amazingly friendly greeting. She first showed us some images of Venetian artwork to describe the differences in the modern-day buildings as she described some historical information about the Accademia. She has lived in the US for a number of years and her English is perfect. Once we entered the Gallerie Lucia’s extraordinary passion and vast knowledge about Venetian art, culture and history became apparent instantly. She had meticulously planned the sequence of paintings and artwork to view with us. She pointed out many aspects and details in the paintings while she provided an in-depth commentary about the painter and their art. Lucia has a strong connection with the Venetian art and brings it to life. Lucia was very willing to answer any question that we had. She kept the pace of the tour coordinated with our desires. The 2.5 hours in the Gallerie was an amazing experience and we are so grateful to Lucia for becoming a friend while she shared her knowledge as we explored the art collection with her. We highly recommend Lucia as your next tour guide. "
"We had a fantastic time touring around Venice with Lucia. She was very accomodating, reaching out already in advance and trying to provid us with the best experience possible by adapting the tour to our personal interests. For the tour she came well prepared and ready to answer all our questions. Lucia knows so much more about the different details and meanings displayed in art works or on buildings than you would find in a standard printed tour guide, along with her excitement and passion it was a real treat discovering Venice with her and we can highly recommend her.

Feel the passion behind every brushstroke at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. This intimate museum on the Grand Canal is a must-see. A private tour of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection is the best way to experience it!
Peggy Guggenheim, an iconic American heiress and art collector, was the visionary behind this incredible collection. Her passion for modern art and artists shaped the Peggy Guggenheim Collection into a world-renowned treasure.
The museum is in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, Peggy's former home on the Grand Canal. This 18th-century palace is famously unfinished, giving the Peggy Guggenheim Collection a unique and intimate atmosphere.
The Peggy Guggenheim Collection showcases a stunning array of modern art. It features masterpieces of Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, including works by Picasso, Dalí, Magritte, and Pollock.
After your visit to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, embrace a true Venetian tradition: the 'aperitivo'. Find a local 'bacaro' nearby and enjoy a spritz with some 'cicchetti' (small snacks) just like a local.
Beyond the galleries of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection lies a tranquil sculpture garden. It's a hidden oasis in bustling Venice and the final resting place of Peggy herself, alongside her beloved dogs.
