Venice Off the Beaten Path – Private Walking Tour
Scott_C, Sep 2026
Nadia and this tour was amazing!
Nadia was an amazing tour guide around Venice for us! She has vast knowledge about the origins and overall history of the city, as well today’s city that she is a resident of. Her English is terrific. Instead of just the usual “churches, historic buildings and musuems” tour, Nadia showed us to the nooks and crannies of the city and endless interesting but less known facts of this marvelous city. I would highly recommend her and will tell all our friends to use her as well. Thanks so much!

Haven’t had this much fun with learning in a long time! Thanks Valerio! Venice is lucky to have such an amazing ambassador!

Relaxing Gondola Ride with Knowledgeable Guide
The 40 minute gondola ride with Nicole was great. We went at 7pm on a late Septemday so the canals were quiet and the sun was low. It was a beautiful way to see the city. The thirty minute ride was relaxing and just the right length of time. Highly recommended.

Alex/Alessandro was wonderful! He’s not only a proud born-and-bred Venetian, but a history teacher for over 30 years. Everything was seamless as he led us through the highlights and fascinating details. He also gave us extra time, which we very much appreciated!
