Cannot believe how amazing the tour was. Chiara was above and beyond at answering our endless questions and keeping our 13 year old engaged. We couldn’t feel more taken care of and wowed. The sites of the tour were amazing. St. Mark was beyond breath-taking, and having Chiara at our side pointing out all of the exceptional works of arts and giving background about it all was absolutely the best. Exploring the canals by boat, seeing the majesty of Venice, above and beyond our expectations.

Our guide Claire was tremendous. Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable! Her ability to tell the stories behind the history of Venice, St Marks, Rialto, and all the other areas we explored really brought the city to life! Would absolutely recommend. The 3+ hours went by very quickly. She was very good with the kids too.

Highly recommended!

Our tour guide Sara was fantastic! Very accommodating to anything we asked or wanted to do. She even steered us to a great restaurant. Very knowledgeable and thorough. Excellent tour through St. Mark's Basilica and around Venice. And I agree with some other posters here that the private motorboat tour was the best part. Up and down lots of canals and under lots of bridges (some so low I had to duck my head down) with lots of sightseeing and points of interest. A great way to tour the city!

We did tours with the Roman Guy in Venice, florence and Rome. Each guide impressed us. To keep a group of 9 14-17 years olds engaged is impressive. I will certainly be booking our tours through you again next year.

There's no other city like Venice. So wonderful that you could explore it for ages being surprised every day! With our guide in around 3 hours we covered a lot of the city, included of course the famous Piazza San Marco and the church of gold. The weather was wonderful and we enjoyed being around the canals with our private boat.
