Lorenzo was our personal guide and was really remarkable He was so personable and knowledgable. He provided the historical, symbolic, political and interpretive experience for all that we saw. He also was able to inject humor and interpret for our 6 year old daughter. I would strongly recommend Lorenzo for his great wealth of knowledge and his personable way of educating.

The tour of the Doges Palace was fascinating, made all the better by our guide Adrianne. Her extensive knowledge of the history of Venice and the paintings brought the trip to life.
Also, the walking tour was excellent as well.
The visit to St Mark’s Basilica was disappointing. We did not “jump the queue” and did not stay long

Edi was a wonderful tour guide who really made this experience a lot of fun. She had a great personality and kept our teen entertained with stories from the past. She pointed out lots of interesting tidbits about the art we saw and explained what each thing meant. We got lots of good suggestions as well for how to spend the rest of our time here. My son enjoyed they way she spoke to him like an adult and included him in the discussions and tried to tell him stories he would enjoy. Definitely a great tour.
However, one thing this company does NOT tell you is that to get into the basilica, women need to have their shoulders and knees covered so we had to spend money to but some cheap scarves at a stall outside. I wish we’d known ahead of time so my wife could have dressed accordingly and not had to buy extra.

A private tour, not the cheapest, but worth it. Our tour guide, Ariana, was brilliant and very knowledgeable about the history of everything. Great experience. We thought 3 hours would have been better as by that point we had done the Dodge & St Marks without rushing, and by the the last hour our feet had had it! Skipping the lines is worth it too. Make sure your knees and shoulders are covered for the church part of the tour!

Our guide, Arianna Lovato, was superb. Not only charming and friendly, but also very knowledgeable. We almost felt like Venetians ourselves as we finished our tour. Would highly recommend both her and Viator!
