Barbara was my guide! She is fantastic! She’s knowledgeable and personable. It was evident that the employees where we went enjoyed seeing her too. It felt like she was a long friend. I went back to two places later in my trip!

Sarah was perfect - showing us cicchetti places around Rialto. She has an interesting venetian-canadien background and is a real cosmopolist, rooted in Venice traditions.
