Due to flight delays, we only had 1 full day in Venice and I am so glad that we had planned this tour with Riccardo. Our family group of 5 walked over 6 miles and saw much of what makes the city so unique. Communication via email and WhatsApp was very smooth. Riccardo was super in explaining the history of Venice and what we were seeing as well as make unique stops like the Libreria Acqua Alta bookstore. He picked out a great place for a traditional cicchetti lunch and made advance reservations for the terrace overlooking the city. When our plans to see St Marks the day before got cancelled, he added in the square and the exterior of the Doge's Palace so we didn't miss those highlights. At times, he spoke very quickly and could be a bit hard to understand, but overall this was not an issue for any of us. If you want a fantastic overview of the city (complete with a long list of restaurant recommendations) or just have a short time like we did, a private tour with Riccardo is money very well spent! We look forward to another visit and another tour--grazie!!
