A great trip with Roko. It was pouring with rain but Roko was very thoughtful to avoid us getting wet where possible. He was very knowledgeable about his subject and equally able to answer all the children’s unusual questions too. He was also great with my son with special needs - highly recommended!

Nicoletta’s tour of Venice hi-lights wast first rate. We spent three hours exploring San Marco Balisica and Doge’s palace. Nicoletta’s knowledge of the artwork and history is top shelf. She was able to describe and explain nearly every main piece. Consider hiring a guide, you’ll get more value than you can imagine.

What a great way to start our time in Venice. Nicolette was a wonderful guide! She was so knowledgeable and spoke passionately about her city! My kids (ages 11 and 13) and parents (70s) were all equally engaged! We saw some highlights for sure, but she also showed us places and shared stories we would have never known about otherwise. She also gave us a great dinner recommendation! Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks so much Nicoletta!!!

My husband Tom and I spent three wonderful hours with Elisabetta walking through the beautiful streets of Venice. Elisabetta was so knowledgeable and funny. She tailored the tour to our needs and showed up so many little treasures. Make sure you see the Bansky painting on one of the canal walls! I would recommend doing the tour at the beginning of your stay in Venice so you can visit all the little shops and great places to eat she recommended along the way.
