Had a great tour with Francesca. The different views of Venice from the roof tops were sensational, the second stop in particular was breath taking! The information she shared brought more than just the usual historical tour guide vibe. I’d highly recommend it for anyone wanting to see Venice from a different perspective.

My friend and I had a wonderful tour with Isabella on July 1,2019. She was very knowledgeable of the city and we had asked for a special tour of San Marco Basilica and the Ducal Palace. As an Architect I thoroughly enjoyed the history and the architectural knowledge she gave us of the city. Our lunch was one of the best ones we had in our two weeks in Italy. Alex was our driver who was also great!. I would highly recommend this tour and also using Verona as a home base for the area!

It felt like a private tour as it was just my mother, my sister and myself! Alessandro was our guide, ably assisted by Fiorella. Both friendly and charming people who spoke excellent English and who looked after us very well. We were driven in comfort in a large air-conditioned vehicle. In Venice we had time to walk in some quieter areas away from the crowds and we even got in a boat to make a brief crossing. For lunch, we had a wonderful typically Italian three-course meal in a quality restaurant. Afterwards, we were free to have some time to shop and look around on our own around the San Marco square area. A very enjoyable day - thank you!
