In private, it's...

Privately, that's wonderful! Graziella has adapted with enthusiasm and love in our journey! 1000% for her...

Needs Substance!

Our tour guide provided good information about the sights, sharing personal stories like where she grew up, her school, her best friend’s home, and other local details. However, it wasn’t quite what we expected—for the amount of money paid, the tour didn’t deliver the depth we hoped for. Advertised as about 3 hours, we finished in just 2, and it needed a bit more to feel complete.

Venice private walking tour

Our guide Grazilla was wonderful. She provided us with lots of information in a delightful way. She tailored our walking tour to include places we asked about and showed us some of her favorites. Couldn't have asked for a better guide in Venice. Thank you!
