We had an awesome 5 hour day with Alessandro and would highly recommend him. Among other highlights of our walk, he was very informative especially thru San Marco Basilica and Doge's Palace in San Mark's square. It went so well we didn't even mind the rain we had. Towards the end, he recommended 2 places to grab a bite to eat and we tried them both after our tour was thru and they both we fantastic. Before we said goodbye, we stopped with him at this small place for a spritz before parting ways. If you want a walking tour thru Venice, he's the person to ask for!

We had an incredible experience with Alessandro Trabucco on our tour of Venice. His knowledge of the history and arts made our tour entertaining and informative. He made our day so much better that we had drinks and pastries together after to just spend more time together. He truly is the Tour Leader of Venice!

We had a private tour. He is very knowledgeable, professional, has a great demeanor and sense of humor. We really enjoyed his tour and visiting these places wouldn’t have been the same without him. He presented us with many interesting facts about what we were seeing. What a fantastic experience. We would highly recommend him! 5+ Stars!

Our day in Venice was spent with the very best of guides, Alessandro. He knows his stuff and is very passionate about wanting you to understand his countries history. Way beyond what we expecting and are thrilled we were able to hook up with him. Be sure to get your tickets online prior to meeting him as you could miss part of his offerings. Alessandro we wish you the very best and thanks for setting us up going over to murano and burano islands. An incredible experience even though they weren’t apart of the tour. Great advice!!

If you want to learn about Venice from a passionate Venetian, Alessandro is outstanding. He was very accommodating to one member of our group who was having some mobility issues. He knows how to maneuver through the crowds and show us what is important to see. San Marco was closed but he still arranged for us to get in and see a great deal. He had some great recommendations for us while we were in Venice. Our tour lasted longer than expected but I believe that is because Alesssandro has so much to share. He finished our tour at a nearby bar for Prosecco and cicheti. Fabulous memories of this day. We will be back!

Great 2 hour tour of St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace. Alessandro, our guide spoke perfect English. He was very accommodating and purchased skip the line entrance tickets for us in advance, which were not included in the tour price. He covered all the highlights of the Basilica’s exterior and interior, as well as interesting details of the Doge’s Palace and prison. Perfect amount for time.

Alessandro was our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide for St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace. The 2-hour tour was the perfect amount of time to see the beautiful cathedral and its stunning mosaics especially while traveling with two college age young adults. Alessandro covered the history of both landmarks in an entertaining manner. The Doge’s Palace was impressive and it’s prisons haunting. The price of the tour did not include the skip the line entrance tickets which Alessandro purchased in advance and we reimbursed him when we met. Very enjoyable tour!
