Uncover the best of Gondola Ride the local Way

"We had a lovely gondola tour with Roberto. He is knowledgeable about Venice and in addition to the tour, he gave us recommendations for restaurants and other sites to see while we were there. The withlocals platform and app were confusing to navigate, and it would be impossible to use the service without the app, which I didn’t know when I signed up. "

"The gondola ride in Venice was really lovely. I recommend doing it in the evening when it is much quieter than during the day. Romy was such a lovely guide and very accommodating. She gave us a local's perspective that we wouldn't have had if we had done this on our own. Thank you Romy for a lovely evening on the canals of Venice."

"Federico was really great. He made the tour so interesting and added a big dose of humour which was perfect for our family "

"I think what would have been a wonderful but sleepy gondola ride was made 500% more enjoyable with Valerio as our guide. Lots of humor, knowledge, and just all around enjoyable, this is the way to do a gondola ride in Venice. "

"It was a delight to meet Matteo, a local who clearly knows and loves the city. He was warm and engaging and shared his enthusiasm and knowledge with us. We explored some fascinating, out of the way corners of the city can't thank or praise Matteo highly enough for giving us such a memorable morning in Venice. "

"Such an entertaining and knowledgeable guide! Highly recommend!! We learned so much and he was great with our two kids!"

"Genny took us for a private walking tour around Cannaregio in Venice. Our 8-year old was looked after very well by Genny who is fantastic with kids. She helped us learn so much about the history of Venice, and my wife especially loved the societal history aspect. Due to the extreme heat in August, she helped us find a way to avoid it thanks to the private aspect of the experience. "

"Marco, We had such a wonderful time touring the city with Marco. It’s was invaluable to have someone who was born and raised in Venice. Insightful information and very entertaining letting us know all the history and local hot spots. Would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the city for the first time. Grazie Mille "

"Elisabetta nahm uns herzlich am vereinbarten Treffpunkt in Empfang und zeigte uns Venedig von der Gondel aus. Sie wusste viel zu berichten, nicht nur Historisches, sondern auch Aktuell-Gesellschaftliches. Das war eine interessante Tour. Durch die Gondelfahrt sieht man Bereiche, die man zu Fuß nicht entdecken könnte. Elisabetta bot auch viele Tipps an, die Venedig reicher machten. "

"Mattia was very knowledgeable about Venice and you could tell how much he loved his city. He took us to not crowded areas and we learned so much. We loved Venice because of Mattia."
