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!

An interesting tour of Venice. It was nice to leave the main paths and to go to some areas which you would not normally visit. Possibly I expected to see more narrow, hidden lanes than what we saw. The sound tecnology was sometimes a bit hit-and-miss.

Andrea was an excellent tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable and has so much history to share about Venice and the Real Hidden Venezia. Our entire family (my husband and I and our 3 teens, 16,18,19) appreciated all of the history. We did not feel rushed. Highly recommend!!

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.
