Merci Alessandro..

  Absolutely fantastic tour. Off the beaten path and so much more to explore. Would recommend exploring before you book your whole time in Venice!

  Had fun! Would recommend

  This was a very enjoyable tour and very knowledgeable would recommend

  Phenomenal experience… preferred over a Gondola ride!!! History and prosecco was amazing.

  Skip the expensive gondola ride, if you want to have a GENUINE Venetian experience, seeing sides of Venice that are ABANDONED, have a history very different than it’s current usage,... read more or are incredibly unknown to tourists, take this experience. We made new friends with the people with us (who just got engaged and are from New Jersey! Congrats if you read this!!!), enjoyed a great wine choice, and had a blast in this boat ride. Alessandro is very nice, informed, and has a genuine history and current view of Venice that you will love, if you love real. The waves near the touristy areas were terrible as the huge boats in those areas go 3-4x over the speed limit, rocking the smaller boats, however when we got to the beautiful private areas, the ride was as peaceful as a gondola ride. Overall this a great experience we rate: once in a lifetime. Enjoy! Buon viaggio.

  Alessandro is an amazing host! Being a native Venetian, he has intimate knowledge of the islands, canals and buildings, and took us to some secret canals and hidden places that... read more we'd never have found on our own. The snacks were authentic, local beer, wine and bread topped with sea inspired spreads and classic Italian meats. We had a few delays getting started, but he was quick to update us of the changes. There was one couple who where being very rude (I believe they've left a mean review, please don't listen to them). Alessandro was very patient with them, but they seemed like they were intent on having a bad time. The rest of the guests, however, were wonderful! They were eager to start conversations, and were interested in all of Alessandro's stories. Overall, an excellent experience. 10 for 10 I'd do it again.

  A Hidden Gem of a Tour – Highly Recommend!
This was a truly lovely experience! We got to see parts of Venice that most tourists never get to, which made it... read more feel really special and authentic. Our guide was a local and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights and stories along the way. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, with a small group that never felt crowded. Plus, the prosecco and snacks were a delightful touch! I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for something a bit different and more personal in Venice.

  We had an incredible time!! Alessandro was amazing and was able to tell us so much about Venice that was so new to us! We saw so much of the... read more city that you dont get to see walking around san marco and other popular areas! Would highly recommend!

  Allessandro was the perfect host and we had such a fun time! It was a great way to spend a relaxing evening on the water and learn about Venice... read more and some of the islands. We would highly recommend this experience.
