Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an amazing day trip to Murano and Burano with Sarah as our guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and wonderful company. She showed us parts of Burano we wouldn't have discovered for ourselves and also booked the perfect spot for a delicious lunch! Thanks for a great day."
"We can’t recommend ‘Lu’ enough she was just excellent on every level !!"
"Our goal was to have an in-depth experience of Venice's art and history, along with plenty of present day tips. We knew based on past experience we'd need a local guide. Romy exceeded expectations on all counts. Her advanced degrees in Art provided us with encyclopedic descriptions of the treasures we saw in palaces, churches and around town. We had expedited access to Doge's Palace. Romy arranged water taxi's and tour tickets. As a native of Venice, Romy proudly presents her city with a delightful enthusiasm that you'll not want to miss!"
"Cannot recommend a food tour high enough to those visiting any city, and in the case of Venice - this is the perfect tour. Touring with Adair felt like being with a friend you have known for years - easy, relaxed, and comfortable. She is a wealth of information and customized our activities to our groups needs. Thank you Adair!"
"We booked a highlights and hidden gems tour of Venice yesterday with Genny and it was absolutely brilliant. From the outset, communication was spot on — everything was clear, well organised, and we met exactly where and when we needed to with no stress at all. What really stood out was her knowledge. The history, particularly around the Doge’s Palace, was brought to life in a way that made it genuinely engaging rather than just informative. But the highlight for us was her personality — warm, funny, and full of energy. It turned what could have been a standard tour into a proper 5-star experience. She also shared some fascinating insight into Marco Polo and, importantly, took us off the beaten track to parts of Venice we’d never have discovered on our own. Couldn’t recommend Genny highly enough."
"I am so grateful to Claudia for creating such a memorable visit to Venice for us! We're a family from the US with 2 teen boys (age 15 and 17). She made our tour fun, educational, delicious, unique, interesting! We saw so many cool things and different parts of the city. I don't know how she did it -- especially with our many varied food preferences and needs. I would not change a thing. I am SO grateful! THANK YOU, CLAUDIA! We had a wonderful time seeing Venice through your eyes. "
"Our day trip to Murano, Mazzorbo and Burano was truly unforgettable—and that’s entirely thanks to Giada. From the very beginning, she brought such warmth and genuine friendliness that it immediately set the tone for the entire day. She didn’t just guide us—she connected with us. It honestly felt like spending the day with a friend I just hadn’t met yet. Giada was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting insights and stories, but what made it special was how naturally and enthusiastically she did it. Nothing ever felt rehearsed—just authentic, engaging, and full of passion. She created such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making everyone feel comfortable and included. You could tell she truly cares about people having a meaningful experience, not just checking off stops on a tour. This was so much more than a typical excursion—it was the highlight of our entire trip to Venice. If you ever have the chance to tour with Giada, don’t think twice. She’s the kind of guide who turns a beautiful place into a truly memorable experience."
"This was a great tour that kept our 5 year old and 8 year old engaged, while also being great for the adults as well. Thank you for a great tour!"
"Very enjoyable and interesting walking tour"
"We have toured with Roko twice now, and each time has been outstanding. He is incredibly patient, easy to talk with and wonderful with a group that includes children. It is like walking around with a friend - relaxed and informative. His personality, flexibility and approach has made both trips stress-free and enjoyable. He is so kind and ended our tour by walking us to a wonderful restaurant that was frequented by locals. He walked in and got us our table before leaving. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Roko again!"
