"Denise provided an incredible experience. She is knowledgeable, charming, funny, and high energy! "

"Denise was our guide and she was wonderful ! She is a native Venetian and shared so much of the history of the city. She was informative and so great to be with, highly recommend her !"

"Romy was so lovely to spend the day with our group of 7. We got a late start in from a train delay and she was waiting for us and very flexible. She had tickets to the basilica for us to tour and was very sweet and knowledgeable about her city. She has deep roots and loves her beautiful city!"

"Our group tour with Matteo was 2pm on 1 August 2026. Matteo and I communicated a couple of times prior to our tour about historic things my group was interested in hearing about and seeing. I’d chosen Matteo because of his extensive art history knowledge. He is an absolute professional, and was able to incorporate our groups specific interest into our tour making the experience very enjoyable. I highly recommend him!"

"Genny was wonderful! She was patient, kind, and engaging with my kids and flexible with the plan during an impromptu storm. She showed us a few places we wouldn’t have normally gone to and was very knowledgeable about Venice and its history. She also gave us a lot of recommendations for the remainder of our trip! We would definitely book with her again, she was one of our favorite tours we took!"

"We were a family of five, with three children aged 7-14. Federica was wonderful with the children. and they really enjoyed the tour, especially the best gelato in Venice. We learned a lot of the the history of venice, the art, the stories, the culture, and the geography. Highly recommended tour guide."

"We had a wonderful day trip to Murano & Burano with Loris. He was so helpful even before we met sharing that there was a festival in town & how we could best enjoy it. He was very accommodating and knowledge. He even arranged a special lunch for our two families in advance. By the end of the day, he felt like an old friend. He shared many restaurant suggestions with us that were all excellent. He exceeded our expectations. "

"Marco was exceptionally knowledgable about the two places we visited. He was very thoughtful and taught us a lot about the Basilica and the Palace. I would highly recommend him. We did both in 3 hours and that was the right amount of time to cover both in detail."

"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!"

"My wife and I had an enriching and thoroughly enjoyable morning exploring Venice with Lucrezia on the Highlights & Hidden Gems of Venice tour. From the very beginning, it was clear that Lucrezia genuinely loves her city and takes great pride in sharing its history, traditions and everyday life. Rather than simply showing us the famous sights, she led us through quiet neighbourhoods, charming canals and hidden corners that we would never have discovered on our own. It was exactly the authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience we were hoping for. What really set the tour apart was how Lucrezia brought Venice to life through her storytelling. Her explanations were engaging, insightful and filled with fascinating details that helped us appreciate not just the city's rich history, but also what it's like to live in Venice today. We also appreciated her excellent recommendations for local bàcari, cafés and restaurants frequented by Venetians rather than tourists. We followed many of her suggestions over the next few days, and they turned out to be some of the best food and wine experiences of our trip. Lucrezia is warm, knowledgeable, personable and incredibly generous with her local insights. Spending three hours with her felt less like a guided tour and more like discovering Venice with a friend who knows and loves every corner of the city. If you're looking for a meaningful introduction to Venice that goes beyond the usual tourist attractions, we cannot recommend Lucrezia highly enough. It was one of the highlights of our time in Italy, and we would gladly book another tour with her on our next visit."
