Uncover the best of St. Mark's Square the local Way

"An excellent tour of the basilica and palace by Roko. He was deeply knowledgeable about the subject matter, was thoughtful about the perspective he gave to the tour and was respectful of us and others around us. "

"We had a fantastic experience on this tour! There were 7 of us in our group, and our private guide, Marco, was absolutely wonderful. He was incredibly nice, welcoming, and exceptionally knowledgeable. Throughout the journey, he shared fascinating, in-depth details about the history of the buildings and perfectly tied everything back to the grand history of Venice. His storytelling brought the monuments to life and kept all of us fully engaged from start to finish. We truly could not have asked for a better guide. We would absolutely use Marco again and highly recommend him to anyone!"

"We are a family of 4, including twin 10 year old girls, from Houston, TX USA. We only had 3 days in Venice, and we spent 2 of them on tours with Lucia, and she was amazing! My girls adored Lucia and could hardly wait for the second tour with her. She had a fun scavenger hunt ready to go as we first toured the Basilica and then the palace. We all learned so much about the history and culture of Venice, and the hunt kept my girls happy and engaged. In the square, Lucia had us do a fun prisoners challenge activity which we all enjoyed immensely. The palace was beautiful to see, and we learned so much more than we ever would have on our own. Once again, the kids beat the parents in the hunt and Lucia had prizes for them. My girls were thrilled! We ended by touring the political prison, and it was so very interesting to learn about. Lucia is an excellent guide who is very knowledgeable and great with kids and adults. I highly recommend her! If she is available, do not hesitate to book her. She handled all of the tickets and organizing and made everything so fun and stress free. Grazie for another amazing tour!"

"On our fourth visit to Venice,, we decided to take a private tour of St. Mark's and the Doges Palace. We were very fortunate to have Elisabetta as our tour guide. It was an extremely hot day and she was very considerate of our comfort. She procured the tickets for both attractions ahead of time and provided us with a wonderful history of St. Mark's and the palace as well as of Venice itself. Highly recommend Elisabetta!"

"Romy was a terrific guide and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. She is well educated and knowledgeable with great information about all the history and culture of Venice. "

"Elisabetta is a native of Venice and very knowledgeable. The walk with her was enjoyable and informative. Her English is very good and she answered each question completely. I would highly recommend the sunrise walk. You see all the beauty of Venice without the crowds."

"Matteo was just what we hoped for. He is enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and considerate. He kept me and my two college age granddaughters engaged the entire time. We were full of questions. He answered them all with a smile and extended our time to do so. We highly recommend him. "

"Valentine, was a Great tour guide. She explained the history of the sights that I visited very well. She had a Great personality and seemed to be a very friendly and a good person. It was a pleasure to meet her and to have her as a tour guide. "

"It was a delight to meet Matteo, a local who clearly knows and loves the city. He was warm and engaging and shared his enthusiasm and knowledge with us. We explored some fascinating, out of the way corners of the city can't thank or praise Matteo highly enough for giving us such a memorable morning in Venice. "

"Such an entertaining and knowledgeable guide! Highly recommend!! We learned so much and he was great with our two kids!"
