We loved this walking tour! Our guide was incredible and knew so much about the city! He truly loves the city and could talk about it with lots of enthusiasm. We learned a great deal about Venice and had lots of fun doing it. The guide was also very accommodating when we got lost. Highly recommend this experience with a knowledgeable local!
Must do!

Our guide, Daniele was delightful. She took us away from the crowds and showed us the “ Real Hidden Venice”. She shared interesting facts about it’s history and about current day to day life. Venice truly is a crazy maze of winding little walkways, canals and bridges. With her overview and introduction we were comfortable wandering on our own the rest of the afternoon - otherwise I think we would have feared leaving the tourist area. That would have been a shame. Daniele also recommended a delightful out of the way place where locals go for lunch. It was fun and delicious, This tour absolutely made the most of our day in Venice. It was relaxing and perfect.

What a fantastic experience! This was our second time to Venice and we really wanted to learn more about the island. Our tour guide was absolutely incredible. She is a local Venetian and shared so many stories and sights that you would ordinarily not know or see. I would highly recommend this tour! It’s takes you to the tucked in places of Venice that will wow you.

Excellent tour!! Easily found the meeting point and tour guide. Tour guide (I can’t remember her name) was really great. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. We toured an area I’ve never visited before despite this being my 4th visit to Venice. The pace was good and was just the right amount of information. Loved it!

Our guide, Gulia, was very personable and knowledgeable and her tour was fun and interesting. We learned so much about Venice and the history of the city! She even made time for us to make a quick stop at the pharmacy and the bank. I highly recommend this tour for people of all ages. We did it on our arrival day, which was a great way to start our visit with so much knowledge of city and to understand the map and streets.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
