Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Nicoletta was a fantastic guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and flexible. She answered questions about other paintings not on our stop, gave recommendations for seeing other sites and was a pleasure to be with!"
"My husband and I have booked previous Withlocals experiences, but this was the best one yet! We met with Elena on our first night in Venice and she gave us the best introduction to the city that we could have had. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about her city and its history and we learned so much more than we could have on our own, or by reading guidebooks. She took us to a mix of restaurants and we had an interesting and delicious overview of the food and wine of the area. We had an experience we won't soon forget. Elena is wonderful!"
"We had a great tour with Claudia. Terrific personality and energy. A true Venetian who shared her love of the city, amazing food you wouldn’t find without a local and history. We did it with our teenage son who also loved it. "
"Our family has done many walking tours in European cities, but none can match the quality of the tour we enjoyed with Giada in Venice. Her expertise started before we even arrived, when she generously shared her favorite spots for eating, shopping, and more. She kindly met us at our hotel and immediately impressed us with her warmth and professionalism. We were likewise impressed by her depth and breath of knowledge about Venice. She related detailed stories about everything from the manufacturing of gondolas to the city’s water system to the work of Renaissance artists important to Venice. It was truly remarkable to see Giada’a dedication to providing a tour experience that is not only informative, but totally engaging and filled with humor and kindness. In short, we highly recommend booking with Giada. It was the highlight of our visit."
"What a perfect introduction to Venice. Lucrezia’s passion for sharing her city with us through stories, curious facts and locations was engaging. It’s things like the early digital clock in the piazza, the specially carved cat water bowls at the town water cisterns and the ugly faces on the church bell towers that have stayed with us as we walk the streets and alleyways. Lucrezia taught us to read the sights and clues we’d normally walk past to bring the history of Venice to life. She was also able to link our movie goers knowledge of Venice to life through pointing out set locations and sights for well known James Bond and Spiderman scenes. Lucrezia’s tips on where to get the best tiramisu, gelato, fresh food, and the best Venetian restaurants to dine at have made us feel a little like seasoned locals. Leading up to our trip Lucrezia helped us understand how to get around with the public transport boats, and at the end of our tour she explained the best way to visit Murano and Burano. Thank you Lu for making our stay in Venice so rich in meaning and experience. "
"Wandering Venice with Claudia was like being with an instant friend. She picked a variety of super fun and off the beaten path spots. We glided smoothly around the campos and she wove in a ton of history through personal stories. Food was fantastic. Our 2 teens really enjoyed everything too! "
"Adair far exceeded our expectations. She was very knowledgeable and explained in detail what we were seeing. Designed the tour to our interests, our abilities, and the time. We ate at a local restaurant and she suggested several local dishes that were delicious."
"Fantastic tour with Alexandra! Highlight of our visit to Venice. Alexandra is a really lovely, very knowledgeable guide who brought us to sample so many delicious foods and wines! We learned so much about the best local areas to explore and felt like we were with a good friend who was very passionate about her beautiful city! I would most definitely recommend Alexandra for any tour and will definitely book her again if we are lucky to visit Venice again!"
"Marina was an amazing guide and perfect for our first night arriving in Venice. She was informative and made us feel welcomed. The food selection and drink were also fantastic. I am so happy we booked with her as it was a great start to our honeymoon. I also want to include that she gave us other good recommendations and we were able to try most and I have to say they were all delicious and good restaurant selections. Thank you, Marina! The tour was so worth it!"
"Adair was awesome. She knew so much about the city and the food. She also arranged a boat to pick us up and take us to Murano. Highly recommend using her and we will next time we are back in Venice. "
