We had a very interesting tour with Adair. She told us a lot about the history, the todays life and traditions in Venice. We visited a nice OSTERIA and talked about all the wonderful places in Venice, Murano, Burano and a few moore hidden places. Good Restaurants etc.
Loved it. We are coming back.

Valentina provided us with a top-class experience in our personalised tour of the area of Venice in which we stayed.
She took the time to discover our interests and tailored the tour accordingly. It was more like a stroll around the area with a very knowledgeable friend than a guided tour. It was an afternoon really well spent and set us up nicely for the remainder of our stay.
Valentina is warm and friendly. After we finished, Valentina sent us some recommendations for places to eat in Venice and Treviso (which were visiting a few days later) as well as tips for getting around both cities.
A really worthwhile experience with a wonderful, friendly and informative guide.
