Flexible Tour with VIP Service - The tour was very flexible and catered to our interests. Ketty was a wonderful guide. She made us feel like VIPs. We learned so much from her about the area. We loved our time on Murano where we saw glass blowing artisans in action and toured a gallery. We saw everything we wanted to see in a short time, and had delicious coffee while learning the secrets to ordering like a local.

Outstanding Introduction to Venice - Guisy came to our apartment to make hooking up easier. We spent several hours walking around Venice, seeing all the touristy sights as well as many behind the scenes places most tourists don’t see.
Once time for lunch she selected a great restaurant near the Grand Canal for us. While we were eating she went and arranged a taxi and tour for us to spend some time over on Murano touring the Murano glass factory.
It was a great day. We all highly recommend Guisy for your Venice trip.

Awesome - We thoroughly enjoyed our 4-hr private walking tour with Roberta. She was delightful and very knowledgable about Venice. Our family of 5 just wouldn't have had the same experience in an unfamiliar city with so much history and sightseeing to offer.

A wonderful time in Venice - My family of five just returned from our wonderful trip to Italy. We only had 2 days in Venice so we wanted to see as much as possible in a short time. We decided on this tour and we are so glad that we did! Our tour guide Giusi was fabulous and her English was very good so my family was able to easily understand her. She has lived her whole life in Venice. Giusi brought a very local perspective to the history of Venice which you don't get from the self guided or the large group tours. She met us promptly at our hotel at 9:30 a.m. to start our 4 hour tour. Giusi navigated us through Piazza San Marco, Doge's Palace, and St. Mark's Basilica and we where wowed by all the beauty and history which she informed us about. We then went on an amazing walking tour through the city of Venice and explored areas which were away from the main tourist areas. My three teenage kids were captivated by all the great sights but were equally interested in hearing about Venice from the perspective of a local resident. We also enjoyed seeing some of the different residential areas and the piazzas where the locals spend time. This tour exceed all of our expectations and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. It was worth the extra money to have the private tour. If you can, request Giusi as your guide as she is great. This was an A+ experience.
