We booked Francesca for a whistle stop tour of the Doges Palace and St Mark's Basilica, as we only had one day in Venice. It was a tough challenge to visit both of these places in two hours, and to do it in a way that was interesting for us and our children. Francesca did a fantastic job. Our 9 year old in particular was enthralled, and has been telling the stories of Venice's history to everyone he meets.
Francesca is incredibly knowledgable - we threw her some difficult questions and she always had a thoughtful and well-informed answer. She also has a real ability to adapt her tours to the needs and interests of her group - we really felt that we had an experience tailor-made for us, rather than a 'standard tour'. Highly recommended - we will definitely use Francesca again next time we visit.

If you want to get to discover the hidden gems of Venice, learn the little secrets of the most frequented attractions, or just wander the city with the convivial company of real Venetians, then please do choose to spend your time with Barbara Tasca or Fiona Giusto. My March visit was my third in four months to Venezia. Each trip I spent time separately with Barbara and Fiona (each tour a different itinerary), and in each instance I discovered new wonders (where to find the best coffee & tea, chocolate, gelato, cichetti, local crafts and arts - not to mention where to dine - don't miss the octopus carpaccio at Osteria Mocenigo in San Polo); gained insight into the stories behind the storied wonders of this fabled city; and the hours went like minutes. By sharing their vast knowledge, good taste, and local insight, Barbara and Fiona introduce me to the Venice they love and embrace. And so now do I. Five Stars aren't high enough praise. Thank you my dear friends!

I was fortunate to have Nicoletta as my guide for a tour booked through TipAdvisor and highly recommend her. She was very conscious of her guests' interests and satisfaction, provided exceptional historical information, answered any questions thrown at her and offered terrific local information

We had a great trip this March with two small kids with Barbara in Venice. She is very patient and really good with kids. The kids had fun finding important symbols and icons around Doge palace and St. Marco Square. We all learned a lot from Barbara’s professional introduction of Venice of ourselves. Highly recommended.
