We saw some nice architecture and got a bit of nomenclature re: the streets. The guide was not very talkative although she did answer some questions for us.
The review that mentioned the guide who pointed out her house and neighborhood must have had our guide. Not very interesting.

I loved our guide, Elisa. She showed us around some of the neighborhoods in Venice , as she grew up here. I was expecting to see other areas perhaps more “ touristy” but did not see them. We were disappointed… She told us she was not authorized to tour certain areas, & monuments????
St. Mark’s square was not allowed!!
She was knowledgeable & we liked her but for the cost we did not get what we anticipated.

What a frustrating day.
We did not get any prior communications via email, What's App, or text from the Tour company (unlike most other private tours), which should have been a warning sign. We got a little lost and had difficulties finding the meeting point in front of the travel agency since there was almost no signage. I tried calling the phone # on the reservation but nobody answered. We were about 20 minutes late. Nobody was there to meet us when we arrived, so we went into the Travel Agency that runs the tour. We were told there that the Viator meeting place instructions were incorrect, and to walk to the Royal Gardens by Piazza San Marco. When we got there, we were told that the original meeting place by the travel agency was correct, but now it was too late and we were considered no-shows. We were told that we would be refunded due to the incorrect instructions, but over a week later there has been no refund.
Now if this was a group tour and we were late, I would understand. But for a PRIVATE tour to not make any attempt to contact us before the tour, or at the tour time since we weren't there is completely unacceptable and unlike any other tours we have ever booked. And then to be told to walked across the island to a different meeting place incorrectly was extra frustrating, especially when we were told we would get a refund which has not happened.
Book at your own risk.

Benedicta was an amazing guide, bringing us an authentic Venetian experience! It was great tasting some of the authentic venetian foods, customs, drinks and the history of the area. Benedicta set up some additional experiences and reservations for us...all amazing!

The tour was superb but the instructions on exchanging voucher were completely wrong also the tour operator is not in the square but in a little side street past black Jack's bar

I absolutely loved this tour. Our guide was with Elisa and she did a great job walking us through the streets of Venice and showing us what it's like living there. It is not a traditional tour of museums or the most famous parts of Venice, but I loved that. I loved listening to Elisa's stories of her growing up on the island. She is full of so much information and insight. The only disappointment was that the tour states it is 3 hours, and we only had our guide for 2 hours.

This was a horrible experience and waste of time for our family. Our tour guide completely disreguarded our expectations and needs. In exchange, she ran us through the city pointing out areas that were important to her....these included the home she grew up in, her best friends home, her school and the area she had recess in. We only had 2 days in venice and wanted to see as much of the major sites as possible. We finally told the tour guide we did not wish to continue and aborted the experience at about the 2 hour mark.

Our guide, Barbara, gave us a wonderful insight into the history and culture of Venice. We learnt so much in a short time. She took us away from the crowded areas into fascinating little back streets. We had a lovely time with her.
The tour company was also very good to deal with when we were late. One tip: if you are coming to their office by Vaporetto, the closest stop is Rialto.

An amazing experience! Our guide took us to places off the beaten path and told us amazing history of those places. She was very knowledgeable and personable. Would recommend to everyone!
