“Chiara was great! She took our families all over Venice and showed us some back roads, cool history about some of the buildings and kept the tour fun for two 12 year old girls. It gave us the lay of the land on our first day, which made the rest of our stay even better.”

“Excellent tour of St. Mark's and Doge's Palace. Our tour guide Valentina was very engaged with our 9 and 11-yr old kids. She had a "Mary Poppins" bag with so much of wonderful surprises. The kids loved role playing as the Doge and the Lion. The treasure hunt was very engaging for them. In the end she also gave us some great recommendations for food options in town. All in all very satisfied.”
