Caroline was an amazing Tour Guide. She did an excellent job sharing with us the history of Venice, pointing out some of the important paintings and stories, while we were in the doges palace and the Basilica. She personalized it she shared her own experiences, provided photos and connected all of the stories together as we traveled throughout the town. My mother was in a wheelchair and she knew just how to make sure that we could take the easiest route possible.509maxia

We had a wonderful time using private tours of Venice! Everything was set up and communication was excellent. Our tour guide was one of the best I've ever had, Alessandro. The tour coordinator was incredible and ensured everything was set up. If we needed to change or add anything we just messaged them and it was done! Highly recommend this company and Alessandro! Thank him for making our day in Venice and Bruano a day we will never forget!
