What a great tour and a great guide! We had such a nice time learning about Venice, the history, the important parts to see...and they picked us right up at our Airbnb. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, nice, and went over and beyond. We really enjoyed this private tour and would recommend it to anyone.

Guide to Venice - Natalia.

I was looking for a Russian-speaking guide to Venice for my leader’s family. I'm happy that I chose Natalya, because... it saved me from worrying about how everything would go. It was very comfortable during the organization process, because... Natalia is very attentive, reliable, flexible and responsive. She was always in touch and promptly answered questions.
We ordered several services:
Transfer to and from the airport (by wooden boat from the Airport), 2-hour walking tour of the hidden corners of Venice, 1-hour boat tour along the Grand Canal.

The guests were very pleased with the excursion. A very passionate professional, an interesting storyteller and simply an incredibly charming woman (which was felt even from the telephone conversation). Thanks Natalia! I will recommend you and the agency/company you work for. Date: 29-30.01.24

Leonardo our guide arrived super punctually at the meeting point in Piazzale Roma. As we walked to the taxi I told him that please we needed to end the tour near Piazzale de San Marco. Leonardo is a young boy from Venice, very kind, pleasant and attentive. Since he was born in Venice and his entire family is from there, he knew a lot about history and the history of each important building. We loved the tour, very detailed with a lot of information. We also loved the private and luxury taxi, just like in the photos. Everything in Venice is beautiful, the canals, bridges, the buildings. It was an incredible trip, beautiful views, with enough time to see and learn everything we wanted to see and what the tour includes. We highly recommend it.
A beautiful one-hour tour of the waters of the Grand Canal and other points of Venice.
It was amazing. Leonardo also took several photos of us as a family and my children. Excellent guide and magnificent tour. As we came as part of another tour, we changed the schedule twice and Shome Venice was always very attentive to us, prompt response.

It was great to see everything in person that we had read about or seen in movies. The architecture is so different from building to building. Seeing how people live in the houses or apartments and the different government buildings from the different periods.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. It's a terrific way to see Venice! We were taken through both small canals and of course the Grand, all of which were beautiful.

Power boat tour, with a guide. Just the two of us, our guide, and the boat driver. This was a good way to see the sights on/ about the Grand Canal. Our tour guide, Natasha, was friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable. We took many pictures.

We enjoyed the tour. Our only complaint was that we were not picked up at our hotel [as the tour description advertised]. Our guide walked us from the hotel to our boarding point on the Grand Canal. We debarked at that same location at the end of the tour.

This was a fantastic tour! We did it the first night in Venice to see the overview of the city before digging into the sites. It was a great way to start. Mateo and Luca prepared a custom itinerary to suit our schedule. Mateo comes from a long family line of Venetians and shared his passion and love for the character, food, art, architecture and daily life.
Mateo ended tour by debarking and walking us personally to the restaurant we had reserved. The team is very professional and all right on time.
