"The food tour with Claudia was simply one of the very best tours I've ever been on, She is so friendly and engaging, within 5 minutes it felt like we were just a group of friends going out together rather that any tour! She has incredible knowledge, a wonderful sense of humour and is kind beyond belief. As usual on a with locals food tour, we ate far too much, but the food was so tasty and the locations so thoughtfully chosen, it didn't feel overwhelming, rushed or too full. Claudia not only delivered a fantastic tour with lots of laughter and fun facts, she also went above and beyond and shared transport tips, a great option for Murano, and really helped us as a friend would with next plans. Anyone lucky enough to have Claudia for a guide is in for a real treat, she really is wonderful. HUGE compliments and thanks from the 4 of us to Claudia."
"Matteo is a dream!! He really knows and loves the city, showed us so many hidden gems, catered to all our requests and by the end of our day he was a friend. We didnt want him to leave us! Thank you so much for making our day that much more memorable, Matteo!!! Highly recommend. "
"Giada is a wonderful guide and delightful company.
My wife and I enjoyed a very special evening last night on our tour of Venice with historical and cultural insights which were enlightening.
The food stops were also tailored to our preference and Giada brought the city and history alive with her passion, professionalism and personality.
We both HIGHLY recommend taking a tour with Giada and will mentioning her to all our friends as THE guide to take in Venice.

"Federica gave our family an unforgettable scavenger-style tour of Venice! She was fantastic with our two kids—engaging and patient. Her creative approach made the city’s rich history come alive in a way that was both fun and educational. One of our kids was not excited to be in Venice until our tour with Federica. But we all walked away with big smiles, curious minds, and a newfound love for Venice, all thanks to her! "
"When we had a mixup with our originally scheduled guide, Genny stepped in for us at the last minute, and we are so glad she did! Sure, this isn't the cheapest way to see Venice, but our time was limited and we thought it was very worthwhile to have such a lovely personalized tour of just the parts of Venice we were most interested in, rather than waste a lot of precious time trying to figure it out on our own. Thank you, Genny!"
"We had a great tour of Venice with Claudia. She has so many great stories which really bring the history of the city to life. Our boys (17, 15, and 9) declared it the best tour we had our entire trip of Italy. "
"Lu was so outstanding!! She was helpful and responsive when I had questions about other things in Venice before our meeting time. She came so prepared and her information was good and very fun to listen to. She answered all of our questions about Venice and even had photos to help us visualize how it got to be! Lu was a great guide around her home, took amazing photos for us and we even got to have a gelato break together! Book Lu for your Venice trip you won’t regret it. Thanks Lu!! "
