“Our guide was wonderful! She did not rush us through the palace and took her time to tell us not only about the history of the palace but also the political system and society. Very knowledgeable. Very insightful. Very interesting. Even for our sons aged 11 and 14. We would definitely recommend the tour. Unfortunately due to the high water level, the tour of the Basilica had to be canceled. We received a refund without fuss or delay.”

“It was a great experience with Mateo! It was just my boyfriend, myself, and him. It felt more private and awesome! We enjoyed getting to see parts of the city we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. It was also cool to have a break in between and go on the gondola and see the city another way other than via our feet. Mateo is super informed about everything and made sure we got all the information we needed. Would recommend to all of our friends heading into Venice!”

“Valentina was very good and knowledgeable about the history of the city, St Mark’s Basilica and the Doge Palace. Valentina’s historical background was exemplary and the information was very well communicated. The only negative was that she had to accommodate some people on multiple occasions who needed assistance with elevators which took away some extended periods of time from our tour while she was accompanying them to the elevators, this of course was out of her control. The touring company should have certain tours for people needing assistance with elevators or at least inform them that they need to be able to get up and down stairs on their own.…”

“Denise was a wonderful guide. A local Venetian with family that goes back generations, she provided interesting information not only about the Doge’s Palace but also about Venice and Venetian history. And she did so in a humorous manner that did not come across as memorized or canned - a refreshing change from other guides we’ve had in the past. If you’ve never toured the palace or it’s your first time in Venice, I highly recommend this tour. So much interesting history and amazing art located within the walls. Not to mention the experience of walking the same path as so many poor souls who crossed the Bridge of Sighs…”
