Nadia tailored this tour to our interests and has deep knowledge of Venice - Nadia met us at our hotel and explained the history of Venice and then tailored our tour to our interests. We needed to take it slowly and Nadia did a fantastic job of explaining everything and keeping a slow pace. She treated us to cappuccino and pastry at a table when we needed a rest. She has a deep knowledge of the history of Venice and guided us through back streets to be in the Venice with few tourists areas. We highly recommend her and this tour.

Jewish tour - Guide was lovely. Cared passionately about Venice. Not masses on Jewish qtr but enough. We really enjoyed the experience

A wonderful afternoon - This is a hard review to write. Mainly because I feel like I can’t give the experience justice. A tour with Nadia isn’t a tour you would expect if you’re used to rolling off a cruise ship or out of an all inclusive resort and into a big group where you follow a guide who does nothing but regurgitate information you’ve already read online holding a flag on a stick while navigating through crushing crowds around main tourist sites. That’s not the way we travel, and I go out of my way to find the exact opposite experience. I went out with Nadia more informally one day that I was solo, and it was this experience that made my full solo day incredible - she empowered me to get lost, and cherish it. “When you hit a crowd, turn, you can’t get too lost” … I wouldn’t have done that without her encouragement, and I loved it. My husband and I did a 3-hour tour with Nadia. We meandered streets, turned around less traveled corners, emerged to see a breathtaking view or landmark we didn’t even know existed. We laughed, we talked, we sipped Prosecco, we learned. I don’t think we asked her one question that stumped her, and we were all over the place. She has an innate ability to read interests and I could tell that at a few points she shifted her focus to things we were more interested in. She proudly says she doesn’t follow a set program, and we appreciated that. Her point is - in a city like Venice, there’s a story and history around every bend, so there’s no need to stay on the beaten track. And no matter how far off course I felt like we were going, we always wound up back on track of the tour we had booked. If I were to make anyone a recommendation it would be a tour with her on their day of arrival, and then maybe another one later in the week, but less organized. After you get to know each other, let her pull something together that you know will interest you. I’ll leave you with two things - first, Nadia truly loves and takes pride in both her Career and her city. She is passionate about both and it shows. Second, when you do a tour with Nadia, you will immediately have a FriendinVenice
