Claire was wonderful. Really engaged with the group. Made sure everyone heard everything and kept us all together. Skipped the main line. Learned way more than if we’d had gone on our own. Made for a memorable experience.

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!

Interesting tour
Very interesting tour of the Doges Palace, learned a lot about the history of Venice. Then a visit to St Marks Basilica at the quiet time just before closing so not too many visitors there. Cristina was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgable.

Best way to privately tour Venice!
Outstanding private walking tour of Venice. Our guide, Vitorio was terrific, sharing a great deal of history and knowledge about Venice, its history and many hidden gems one might never discover if touring alone or in a large group. Ask for Vitorio when booking this tour as he created a memorable and enjoyable experience for our small group.

Venice Lagoon Islands: Murano & Burano Guided Tour
Jeanette_M, Sep 2026
Excellent Excursion
This was very well organized. Getting to the meeting point was an easy walk if you’re staying near St. Marks and once at the meeting point, the line moved fairly quickly. Our English tour guide was Marta and she did a great job of pointing out various areas of interest while giving us some history with just enough detail so it didn’t become boring. Our 1st stop was in Murano where we got to see a live demonstration and then had time to tour the store. Make sure you go upstairs to see some exceptional pieces of work. Our next stop was Burano and we got to sample biscuits and visit a lace shop. We then had about 2 hours to shop at the various stores and even grab a quick lunch then it was back on the boat for the ride back to Venice. This excursion was one of our highlights of our trip to Venice and I would definitely recommend it.

A Venice Treasure
After three days in Venice, we found Lucia. What a treasure of knowledge, warmth, and ease with people. Her knowledge of her home is not only wide but deep as well. She is a world traveler and like the dove, she returned home bearing a Venetian acceptance and intellect that we found amazing. We recommend her highly and if some does hire her services, listen to her wisdom and drink deeply her experience and strength. We were impressed.

We love Lucia!
Lucia, a true local Venetian, gave us a tour that was the highlight of our stay in Venice. She was friendly, fun, and knew all the best spots for rich history, eating and drinking, taking pictures, and locating hidden treasures. You couldn’t walk far without Lucia running into a personal friend; her kind personality and genuineness were infectious. Her map and food recommendations were vital on our last free day in the city. She was extremely knowledgeable, passionate about her hometown, and was such a great time!
