Venice Walking Tour Review - It was great to view Venice through a locals eyes. She pointed out areas and things we hadn’t noticed before or thought of. We saw so much and it was a great use of time.

This is our first time in Venice and we booked a walking tour with Valentina who was Amazing and funny and informative. - My friend Mary and myself went on a tour of Venice with a guide called Valentina. She was AMAZING, we arrived 10 minutes late as we got off the vaperetto at the wrong stop. I cannot praise Valentina highly enough, she was informative about every area we went to, she was funny but also very professional. I would Highly recommended a walking tour with Valentina.

Superb! - Michaela is awesome! Knowledgeable. Keen local insights. She’s a highly educated local who connects the big historical picture with fun and winsome facts. She knows far more than other tour groups who only hit the main stops. Don’t come across the world to one of the richest cultural cities in history just to pick your own pocket! Hire these amazing people to make the most of your time and experience!
