I did the Secret Passages of the Doges Palace and St. Marks tour and was blown away by how much information was shared. I think our tour lasted over 4 hours (but I slowed us down by taking lots of photos!). The secret passageways were completely worth it. To go through these two worlds of public life and private sentencing... More

I went on the tour of St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace, with two friends. The tour was a bit long winded for me - I think I would have gotten just as much out of it if it had been an hour shorter. Our guide spoke fantastic English, and their knowledge of the two sites was highly impressive.... More

We went on two walks with Walks of Italy in Venice. The first tour took us around the city, taking in major sites which help to orientate ourselves to strike out on our own. The second was as comprehensive but just the Doge's Palace and the Basilica. Both guides were excellent, with superb English and tremendous enthusiasm and knowledge about... More

Great tour. Although I wish it was a bit shorter it was a bit boring at some parts. It did introduce us to several trendy places that we visited after our tour. The guide that took us around was OK, but not great. We mostly enjoyed being taken around the city with out being lost and enjoying a lot of... More

We hired Fiona to guide us through St. Mark's and the Doge's Palace for two hours, then to wherever she wanted to for two hours. It was the best decision we made on our 9-day trip to northern Italy, and made for the best day of our trip period. Fiona is very, very bright; picks up on cues from her... More

We went on 2 1/2 day tours with Fiona, and found the experience enriching and wonderful. We had not been to Venice before, and we are glad we arranged these tours with Fiona. She was very knowledgeable and interesting. We highly recommend taking a tour with her. More

Fiona Giusto was a guide I had heard so many good things about and contacted her months ahead before we were to arrive in Venice Italy. She came to our hotel to meet us and we began a walking tour of Venice that she and I had discussed before in our emails...Her historical intelligence was amazing and she answered our... More

Walks of Italy did not disappoint! We reserved their group tours in Venice, Rome (Colosseo Underground) and Pompeii and so glad we did. Two out of the three tours ended up being "private" as the three of us were the only ones in the group (max size 12). The guides were knowledgeable, charming, and spoke English well. Because we had... More

We had to entertain a chinese partner asking us to see venice while coming to Italy for business. On very short notice we had to arrange a one day tour which could give a very nice impression to our friend. Among many contacts I have taken walks of Italy and especially Emma have been very helpfull organising a very intersting... More

We took 3 tours with Walks of Italy in July. Guides were each fun, loved what they did, were professionals, and made great analogies to current culture. They really connected the the group. Don't even hesitate to book a tour with them, it will be the best experience. More
