Helena was our guide during a recent three-hour introductory tour. We cannot praise this tour highly enough. As a Venice native with degrees in both history and art history Helena provided comprehensive and detailed explanations of architectural styles and placed major artistic works in historical context. The time flew. My only wish is that we had reserved more of her... More

My mother and I enjoyed a most wonderful guided tour of Venice, strolling the back streets, bridges and canals with Helene. She is so experienced and skilled in the art, culture and history of this beautiful city . . . but most importantly, she has a love & passion for her home that she desires to share that takes this...

We were a group of 7 adults booked on a morning tour with Fernando. Although we had all visited Venice previously, Fernando showed us some interesting sights off the Beaten Trail. He was very knowledgable and patient and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. More

We had a fabulous experience in Venice on our walking tour with our guide, Sabrina. We walked the Castello neighborhood, had a fantastic tour of a gondola shop and saw the "other" side of Venice...where the people live. Highly recommend this group. They catered our tour to what WE wanted to do. Fabulosa! More

We were a group of 8 in Venice for 1 day only and decided to contact Fernando Viotto as a tour guide. He was excellent!!! Very knowledgeable of the old history of Venice. Took us to all the places off the beaten path. We started our morning with a tour by water, so he picked us up at the train... More

We spent four and half hours walking through Venice with our guide Helene. She really listened to what we were interested in and she showed us the many different neighborhoods in Venice. We spent time learning about the Jewish quarter of the city. We visited fresh fruit markets, and saw neighborhoods of Venice. We ended the tour with a boat... More

Treat yourself to this private guided tour by these very knowledgeable and pleasant guides who are Venice residents and know the area inside and out. This is an amazing but confusing city and the best part of our tour was meandering through the back alleys where no tourists were to be found. Sabrina also translated what some of the real... More

We had our first day in Venice yesterday with Helene. I thought it a great introduction to the city which is really smaller than I thought, but I really did not want to be chained to a guide book. The water taxi tour was very interesting and terminated at the parking garage in Piazzale Roma. Lunch at Carampane (seafood) was... More

My wife and I were visiting Venice for the first time so we decided we needed a guide to tell us some of the history of this beautiful city. Fernando Viotto took us on a 3 hour walking tour. He was extremely informative and tailored the tour to our requirements. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and he even emailed... More

Our family of 4 was able to make, at the last minute, a day trip to Venice between Christmas and New Years. Unfortunately for us, all the tours we contacted were filled. After frantically calling, leaving messages and not receiving calls back, I reached Sabrina at her home. She had a sick child at home but upon hearing our situation,... More
