Spritz and Gelato Tour - Directions to meeting place was clear and our guide (Olympia) was fantastic. Very informative, provided us with the historical details but also explained things using examples and events that we were familiar with. She also provided her personal experience of the places we visited. Olympia, a gelato expert also provided us with how to recognize a good pistachio gelato. Thanks

Marina: Cicchetti, Wine, and Spritz Tour - Marina is an astounding tour guide. She is very knowledgeable about everything she is presenting and giving to you. It was more fun because she made the group feel like a family and she has the best attitude and is always open to answering your questions, regardless of what they are. I would totally recommend taking this tour and getting Marina because she was absolutely amazing.

Quiet-side of Venice. - Marina, our guide, was absolutely marvelous and knowledgeable about Venice. She was an absolute delight. Our train to Venice arrived one hour late (45 minutes late for the tour start), and Marina accommodated our new schedule with grace and kindness. She answered all our questions. Great tour, even better guide (Marina), highly recommended to new visitors.
