"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!"
"Matteo was warm, friendly and fun and engaged with each member of our family, young and old. We were really impressed with his depth of knowledge about the history of Venice but also entertained by his stories, both personal and specific to historical events or persons. I was worried that our tour might be too long for our weary group but the time flew by and we all came away fulfilled and inspired. Thank you Matteo! "
"We had a marvelous tour with Elizabetta. She was knowledgeable, friendly and so helpful. We toured St Mark’s cathedral and the Doge palace. She included the perfect amount of facts and information. She went above and beyond helping to answer a phone call and translate information for us. "
