Excellent tour of Venice on August 22, 2026 with an expert guide who was born and raised there. My kids (16 & 13) and I really enjoyed learning about the town history and current state of operation. Such a comprehensive view of a beautiful place. Would highly recommend!

The tour was excellent. Philipo was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the history of Venice. And he took us to some spots that were not on the tour that were very interesting. The highlight was the gondola ride. I would definitely recommend this tour in Venice.

The guide was amazing! She shared a lot about the sites, but also a lot of local knowledge and history too which was a great touch. We only had one other person in our little tour group so it felt very intimate and tailored! I am embarrassed that I cannot remember the guide’s name but it began with an I! Would return just for her, a real local Venetian.
