The tour with Nico changed my trip. Upon my arrival, I thought Venice was another old city, but surrounded by water. After exploring the Doge and basilica with Nico, I’m tempted to buy a book on the history of Venice to read on my flight home. Nico answered all of our questions and more, and even made our brief wait in line a cultural learning experience. Once inside, he provided insight after insight, bringing to life not just the history of Venice, but the individuals who made it. Very grateful, Andrew and Elizabeth McAdams

Pamela is great. She lives, breathes and loves Venice. She excels at explaining the history of the country and its rise and fall over the centuries. She has an extremely deep knowledge of everything you will see. It was an incredible day with this guide.
