Excellent knowledge and information from Nico the tour guide. Enjoyable well paced tour. Great to see the non-tourist side and history of Venice.

Our guide was so local, he showed us an elementary school picture of himself at one of the buildings we saw. He really knew his history, recommended restaurants and we had a great time just talking.

The tour took you on the less travelled streets which was very helpful. We got to see a portion of Venice that we probably would not have gone to. Very enjoyable
