She was very friendly and kind, adjusted the tour to our needs, especially as we were four older people who needed a bit of time for resting now and then. She made our experience memorable. Highly recommended.”

“The tour gave us a great introduction to the city on our first day in Venice and it helped us choose what to visit in the following days. As the St Mark's Basilica cannot be entered due to Corona regulations, our guide Cristina took us to some other very nice spots instead. For us it was just the right amount of explanations, walking, and breaks. I'd recommend the tour to anyone who visits Venice the first time.”

Made multiple search walks for my name before finally seeing my name boldly on an iPad. The driver provided water and mentioned a few prominent places along the 45 minute trip to our hotel. Driver took our bags and loaded them in the vehicle and unloaded them and walked them into the hotel lobby. Nice gentleman.”
