Our Guide, Marco Barbazza was excellent - Our Guide, Marco Barbazza was excellent and very accommodating and very knowledgeable. Just one piece of Advice: Venice in July is very busy and extremely hot. A 3 hour walking tour over the warmest part of the day is not a good idea. Plan this shorter or very early or very late in the afternoon...

Very informative, easy going and professional, eager to share her love of the town to visitors. - This was a wonderful way to see Venise in a very short time. There were not too many tourists around and with a local guide, one really gets a deeper understanding of the place, and the culture which animates this beautiful town. Our guide Esther was really speciale !!!

The best part of our Venice trip - Highly recommend for people visiting Venice for the first time. Our guide Michael was wonderful. He took us around town including places we would never know but so relevant about this city. Like newly met friends we hung around town and he answered our questions. We were equally curious about him who came from a different county and his experience living and studying here. Thank you Michael for making our trip to Venice memorable and fun.

Seeing the City Through a Local's Eyes - Our guide was great! We saw so much of the city, and because it was private, we could stop to look at anything we wanted. We even stopped for coffee and a pastry! He also helped us with the water bus and gave a great lunch recommendation. Fun to see the city through a locals eyes.

A Perfect Private Tour of Venice with Boris - Our private tour of Venice with Boris was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip! Boris guided us through the hidden gems and less touristy corners of the city — places we would have never discovered on our own. His deep knowledge of Venetian history, art, and culture brought every street and canal to life in the most fascinating way. One of the most memorable moments was when Boris took us to a charming local café, where we enjoyed a traditional macchiatone — a Venetian twist on the classic macchiato that locals adore. It was a small touch that made us feel like true Venetians. He also recommended a fantastic local restaurant for lunch and even helped us navigate the menu to order authentic dishes we wouldn’t have known to try. Boris is, without question, the best tour guide I’ve ever had. His passion, insight, and warm personality made our day in Venice unforgettable. Thank you, Boris, for showing us the real Venice and making our visit so special!

Total disappointment. Scam - The guide was 45 minutes late. NO talking. I was looking at google maps to locate him. NO knew absolutely nothing. He could answer NO DE 1 of 5 basic questions. We left the tour after 10 minutes. I made the claim EN viator and they won't even respond. Total disappointment. 220 euros thrown away. Farewell for viator. Too bad, we use it many times
