We honestly feel the tour is a bit too expensive for what it is (230 for 2 persons is a lot!), but our guide Monica was excellent, we learned a lot about the history and culture of Venice and saw many interesting places. If you have the chance to pick a time, go in the morning!

I could not have asked for a better tour! Marzia showed me places I never would have found by myself and was so knowledgeable and kind. I'd highly recommend for anyone! I wish I could have spent longer with her!

Alice was WONDERFUL! I’d been to Venice many years ago when I was in college and my husbands first time. Alice is a local and showed us many wonderful spots-she was kind, genuine and fun.
