- JohnL3810 contributionsVenice with NadiaWe had a 2 hour walking tour followed by a 1 hour boat tour of Venice. Our tour guide was Nadia Danesin, who did an excellent job. She took us to parts & places where tourists aren’t aware of and pointed out nice local restaurants and places of interests . After the walking tour we took an hour tour in a private boat along the canals of Venice and then around the city itself. Excellent tour. Highly recommend this great way to experience Venice.Written November 15, 2024
- markrL9555MB0 contributionsOne of the best guides we had on our tripNadia was an amazing tour guide. She took us to places in Venice we never would have gone to or found. She had great knowledge of the history of Venice. There was not a question she could not answer. At the end of our tour, she helped us negotiate a water taxi for the next day to get to the Venice airport. We never could have done that ourselves. She would not take no for an answer from the taxi guys.Written October 20, 2024
- LeunerEclipse0 contributionsExperience Venice as a VenetianThe only way to appreciate Venice! Nadia showed us how to be a local in this beautiful city and experience the city’s build up from ancient times. We went on a winding walking tour, savored the city’s best treats and finished with a dreamy boat ride. Couldn’t be happier we did this tour, every city should have Nadia narrating!Written October 12, 2024
- kirstenlS1983FK0 contributionsMaking the most of a short visitNadia did a fantastic job fitting a ton of information and charm into a two-hour tour. Anyone interested in the history or architecture of her city would benefit from this tour.Written October 6, 2024
- MTM19630 contributionsWonderful tour of Venice with NadiaWe had a wonderful tour with Nadia! We appreciated her grasp of Venetian history and love of her city. Nadia took us to small out of the way places that were a special treat and you always knew she was there for just us during this time. The included private water tour was truly excellent. The captain is a total pro and we found ourselves winding through some of the smaller canals I never would have imagined our very comfortable boat could navigate. A wonderful afternoon - and we did feel a little like Venetians by the end.Written September 26, 2024

If you like learning about the history of cities, architecture, and many more fun facts about the city, this is the best tour you can take. Nadia and her assistant tour guide, Davide, did an excellent job showing me around the city. There is a deep, rich history about Venice… this tour will provide you with a lot of this history.
You will go off the beaten path, into the areas that are not busy. Doing this enriched my connection with the city. In some areas, it did get a bit touristy; however, the path you go has a specific reason. You see a glimpse of the tourist areas and then you go back into the hidden areas of the city… it was great and I would highly recommend a tour with A Friend in Venice. Not only will you get a one-of-a-kind perspective of the city, but you sure will leave with a friend in Venice.

Dear James,
thank you for choosing friendinvenice to discover Venice.
A city so special that deserves to be visited in a special way, off the beaten path by tourists.
Venice is so rich in art and history that I like to personalize the tours and make my friends feel at home.
I am glad to have been able to amaze you but even more glad to have met you.
Everyone complains that Venice is very crowded; the truth is, they don't want to explore it.
I simply helped you to be a traveler and not a tourist .
Thank you for writing your review.
I really liked it and you will surely help me to meet other friends like you, curious, nice and simple,
Warm Regards,
Nadia & David

A truly lovely morning with Nadia; we were shown sights and told stories of Venice that we would not have enjoyed without this excellent tour. If you want to understand Venice, take a private tour with Nadia. She has passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge that is generously shared.

We were picked up early by Nadia. Myself, my husband, my sister in law and her companion were whisked off by private Water Taxi to the Islands of Murano and Burano.
I cannot day enough good things about this fact-filled, off the beaten trail, in-depth tour of these magical islands.
Our first stop was at The Mazzega Glass Factory where we had a private tour of one of the few remaining Glass Artisans. Glass Blowers had the oven fired up and showed us how those amazing glass creations are blown. Ennio Allowed us to speak to an amazing artist, peruse the different showrooms and tour the museum.simply amazing and stunningly beautiful. We walked then to a nearby cafe’ in a downpour, arrived wet and dripping, where we were treated to a relaxing coffee and brioche. Nadia then gave us the History of Venice. Stuff I did not know, and still cannot fathom.
Then a tour of an Ancient Chursh, Santa Maria. A beautiful architectural marvel.
Off to Burano we went by private taxi, quite thrilling, I must say.
Burano , with its painted, colorful houses was enchanting. Another in depth tour where Nadia guided us through narrow streets revealing a kaleidoscope of colors. We visited an authentic lace shop where we splurged on one of a kind handmade items.
Then we had lunch at Il Gato Nero( additional our own expense) which was absolutely marvelous.
You need to have Nadia show you Venice and her Islands. She will unlock the secrets and leave you with memories for a lifetime!!

Since we didn't have a lot of time in Venice, having a private tour was a good strategic choice. Nadia was very knowledgeable and was able to make it 'fun' for our pre-teens.

Our tour with Nadia was the highlight of our stay. We learnt so much and enjoyed discovering the history and culture of Venice. Nadia skillfully navigated us through the enchanting hidden lanes telling us all about the way Venice was built and how people lived. We thoroughly enjoyed her friendly relaxed approach. We would highly recommend to others.

In just two hours, Nadia was able to take us on a backstreet visit of Venice and impart some of her vast knowledge of the architecture, history, and pride for which her beautiful city is renowned. She made us feel as if we were Venetian.

A guide from Florence suggested Nadia, and we were very impressed. She made it fun, personable and showed several gems around Venice. We felt like we were with our long lost Aunt, highly recommended.
