Awesome Venetian guide with vast knowledge of her city

Published on Apr, 2023

Gina was an excellent tour guide. Her tour of the city included details of Venice's history and contemporary life of a Venetian. Although St. Marks Basilica was closed, she gave us as much info and context from the outside. The tour of Doge's palace was also very thorough. Overall, her tour was fun, engaging, and interesting. We would definitely book a tour with her again.
