Worth the money and time

Published on Jan, 2020

Our guide was Giulia Tamai and she was excellent!! She had many stories and antidotes about the market and Venice. The tour was not rushed and my husband and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. I would recommend this tour for anyone who would like to know more about the Rialto market and Venice.

The perfect way to explore a different side of Venice!

Published on Oct, 2019

We just had one day in Venice so this was the perfect way to see more than just the main tourist attractions. Christina is really passionate about her city (rightly so!) and gave us an insight into it's history and what it's like to live there taking us to parts of Venice we would never have discovered on our own. With food, wine, a gondola ride and a spectacular view to top it off we couldn't have asked for more thank you Monica and Christina! :)

Away from Busy San Marco Square

Published on Oct, 2018

We really enjoyed four hours away from the bustle of St. Mark's Square! We traveled many small streets to learn more history and how Venetians live today. Our guide was Cristina Pigozzo and she was absolutely fabulous- she is a Venetian, proud of her city, enthusiastic, funny and knowledgeable.

An Insider's tour

Published on Sep, 2018

Our Guide, Cristina, was excellent, with a nice balance of history and insider tips ("no Venetian ever buys this kind of spice, rather they ket this other"). A good length for a hot day, with a nice finish of wine and cicchetti.

Published on Aug, 2018

This ended up being a private tour as our group of 4 were the only ones. The guide was really informative and entertaining. We loved the market place. The glass of wine and selection of 2 nibbles each at the end was a nice finish to tour.
