I don’t know if our trip to Venice would have been as amazing without our time with Roko! Our family (my husband and two teenage boys) spent two days exploring the city’s beautiful churches, palaces & the hidden streets.. he shared interesting stories that keep us all entertained.. He lead us to some amazing food destinations too, really felt he cared that we got everything we waned and more out of our time in the city!! He also knows how to take great photos (not all selfies 😂)!! I really wish he could have joined us on the rest of our trip through Italy, we missed that extra touch in the other cities!!! Thank you Roko for the experience, still dreaming of that desert from Tonolo🥰!!!

We booked the "History of Venice: San Marco Highlights Tour" with Roberto (Withlocals) and had a fantastic time. Right after we made the reservation, Roberto reached out to us to learn more about our preferences and what we wanted to explore. Based on our location, he tailored a tour that aligned perfectly with our interests. He also provided us with numerous restaurant recommendations. On the day of the excursion, he picked us up on time directly in front of our hotel, allowing us to start the tour promptly. Roberto, being a true Venetian, possesses exceptional knowledge about Venice, its locations, and history. We were thoroughly impressed by the depth of his knowledge and the fascinating details he pointed out during the tour. It was an incredible experience, and we learned a great deal. We highly recommend booking a tour with Roberto for those passionate about delving into Venice's amazing history. You won't regret It.

Mateo is amazing. We have been traveling Italy for a few weeks and this was by far our best tour! Mateo is charming, charismatic and well versed in both the art history of the Basilica and Dodge’s Palace and the historical significance of Venezia throughout the ages. He gave us insight into creation of mosaics pointing out the differences in art styles throughout the ages. While at the same time, weaving stories based on historical legends that have been generationally passed down and on documented written history. He added personal touches by sharing how his family was impacted by events of the past. Do Not pass up the chance to book this tour with Mateo. If I could give this 15 thumbs up I would!

We had an amazing walk with Lu. She showed us the highlights of Venice as well as the hidden gems, including some lovely surprises. She was a pleasure to spend time with and is an excellent photographer as well! Thank you for a great intro to Venice Lu!
