Elena was an amazing guide. In two hours she taught us so much about Venice. Her knowledge and accommodating style is perfect for a kickstarter tour.

Book WIth Claudia in Venice! The Best!

Published on Jul, 2024

Claudia was incredible. We had some timing challenges, and she made extra efforts to meet us so that we did not have any problems. She made sure that we were relaxed before we started. And then - WOW! Claudia has so much insider information on the real Venice and its storied history. If you are traveling to Venice and want a fantastic tour away from the touristy crowds, be sure to book with Claudia!!

Do the private tour

We did a private tour for two hours with Rocco. Rocco showed us parts of the city we would have walked right past and was very informative. Well worth the price for the private version!
