Absolutely amazing experience
"We truly enjoyed our experience and memories on Venice’s islands: Burano, Murano, and Mazzorbo with our guide Nicoletta. We got to see the private Murano glass workshop and art galleries which was amazing and so beautiful. We saw the beautiful colorful Burano island. We are so grateful for all the gems, history and experience that Nicoletta shared with us. Do not hesitate, book your tour with Nicoletta to visit these islands. "

Perfect Venice tour for teens and parents
"Adair was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable having lived in the heart of Venice for over 15 years. My 15yo and 12yo girls thought she was our best ever tour guide and we have had many! She treated the girls as adults and they really liked that. Some great recommendations for gelato and patisserie which we have since tried out and enjoyed immensely. Thanks Adair!"
"Valentina arrived exactly on time and in the right location, so a great start. She was professionally dressed and very well spoken and organized. She had an interesting history of Venice and had an IPad with helpful images. She gave enough information without being overwhelming.The walking was reasonably paced and she took us to the areas that we never would have known about. She definitely made our experience much more enjoyable. She gave us a few recommendations for local restaurants and shops as well as instructions for catching the Water Taxi to the train station.
Valentina was fantastic and I would not hesitate to ask for her again. "
"Three things make an excellent tour guide. Passion, friendliness and knowledge. Lucia gets a perfect 10/10 in all three categories. She showed us so much of the city, explaining all the history and stories that accompanied all the different areas. She showed us all the best places to eat and other things we could do in the remaining days we had left. I could not recommend Lucia highly enough."
"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 !"
"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!"
