Exceptional Guide!

5.00Our guide, Rona, was the absolute best guide we’ve ever had in all the different countries we’ve been and visited. She knows Venice from all angles, old historic stories, explained the how and when, and had so many fun anecdotes about Venice and the people that build it and had fun in it!!
Great walking tour!

5.005/5 Our guide was so kind, patient and knowledgeable of Venice. We could not have enjoyed our tour of the city any more. Next was our gondola ride down the canals - so pleasant and relaxing. The best way to start off our first trip to Venice. 🇮🇹🍝🍕🐠

5.00My tour guide was Sherry. She was very knowledgeable, kind and social. Appreciate her taking pictures of my mom and me and for giving us the tour at our own pace in this hot summer day. She also gave us restaurant recommendations, can’t thank her enough for her hospitality and professionalism.
Fantastic guided walk and gondola ride with Soroush

5.00We had the most fantastic guided tour of Venice with Soroush. He is friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating information and anecdotes throughout the tour. His tour covered areas that we might otherwise have missed. He was very flexible, for example allowing us to choose at which point we wanted the gondola ride and adapting the tour to meet the needs of one of our party with slight mobility issues. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great time!

5.00We had a wonderful time on this tour and gondola ride. Rona was our guide and was knowledgeable about the landmarks we went to and was very pleasant to spend an hour and half with. Rona took special care to find us a ride from a trusted gondolier. The gondola ride was absolutely beautiful and well worth the time it took to find an available boat. Loved the experience
An amazing personalized tour.

5.00Soroush was an amazing guide. He is extremely well versed in the history of Venice. He has a wonderful portfolio that he has compiled with maps, pictures, etc that he shared with us to further explore the history of each monument and area that we visited. He is courteous and helpful as well as thorough. I highly recommend him.
