We met withNicole,our guide for our tour. She is the sweetest person, spoke beautiful English and has a wonderful and warm smile,. We could tell Nicole enjoyed what she does and loves Venice. If we are ever in Venice again, I'd ask for her.

Our private tour in Venice could not have been any more perfect. Our guide Nora was wonderful and we not only enjoyed all of Venice but her company as well. We saw so much more than we could have on any other tour. Thank you so much Nora!

This was an excellent tour with Allesandro. We had only just arrived in Venice and were shown where the locals go and then could go back later and save a lot on food and clothing. This guide also knows a lot about art and history and will show you anything specific that your are interested in. It is a great way to see this fabulous city and get to know it quickly.

Fantastic! Our Private Tour Guide was a Venice_br/_ native who gave us a first class tour. She also recommended two restaurants which were great_br/_ and used by "locals".

All I can say is "wow!" This was a great tour, and Alex, our guide, was very knowledgable and quite fun. We had a wonderful afternoon with him discovering many of the less-touristy parts or Venice. He even took us for refreshements at a quiet little cafe where the owner served us light snacks and a local beverage made with bitter Campari and Prosecco. Alex was a rock star guide, and we can't recommend him enough. He made it a great day we will remember forever. Thanks, Alex (Alessadro)!!

Our private walking tour was the best!! Our guide was a native of Venice and was fanastic! She took us on the insiders tour of Venice. She showed us how to get around away from the crowds while showing us all the beautiful sites. I highly reccomend doing this trip when you first arrive in Venice. It made getting around so much easier for the rest of our trip!

Awesome three plus hours. Our guide, Stephania, was outstanding. She was lovely, gracious, and generous with her time. She was born in Venice and knew all of the out of the way places that make this tour fascinating. I highly recommend.

I would highly recommend our guide Francesco. He took us to parts of Venice that we would never have found by ourselves. His knowledge and passion for his city was wonderful. Thank you.

Review by: Adrianna W, Hong Kong	May 2010
The guide was very knowledgable and friendly, and has showed us to places that were very interesting and where the locals usually hang out at. Though, the tour is a bit too tiring.

Review by: Catherine S, United Kingdom	March 2010
Lovely guide and we were glad to have done the tour, although we didn't realise it couldn't be as bespoke as we would have wished until after booking. Very convenient to meet the guide next to where we were staying.

Very informative and interesting tour. We only had one day in Venice - so this was the best way to maximize our time.

Absolutely brilliant guide. We saw parts of Venice that we would never have seen and learned more than we could have on our own. Would recommend this trip very highly.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	September 2009
I was disappointed in our tour! Our guide was not a "sanctioned" tour guide, and as such was unable to escort us into any of the historical sites. Also, the "4 hour tour" was less than 3 hours. Admittedly, it was drizzling rain, but that should have presented a great opportunity to visit some of the sites. She did not seem knowledgeable about the history of Venice, and simply walked us through the neighborhoods.

Excellent tour, visited all the places we wanted. Tour guide was excellent and very friendly. Highly recommended if you want to visit Venice at your own pace and take your time at the places where you're most interested.

Review by: Suzann F, United States of America	July 2009
This tour was definitely worth the price we paid. Our tour guide had a vast knowledge of Venice and its history. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has limited time in Venice.

With the limited time we had in Venice, this private tour was the way to go. Our guide was knowledgeable and brought us to places we would otherwise would not have gone.

Review by: Paul S, United States of America	July 2008
I had never done this before. My guide was amazing. She took us all over Venice and gave us insights we couldn't have gotten any other way. Plus she showed us how to get a short gondola ride for 1 euro!

Excellent. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and this was our best tour during our 2 week stay in Italy!
