Essential Free walking tours of Venice

Francesco is a character! Lots of energy and jokes through the tour. Information very unique that you won’t get in any other tour. Would 100% recommend it!

Wunderbar

Francisco started well, describing interesting facts about Jewish ghetto. This part of the tour went well. But when we continued at the city and a couple of people left the group, he became very upset, was mostly silent and slowly became boring. We wasted 30 min in the bar on a “coffee break”, and then waited before church opened to see a few paintings. Only 2 of us made it by the end of the tour.

I absolutely loved the tour. Our tour guide, Mary, was so knowledgeable about Venice. She gave so many tips about the city and was able to answer very niche questions about the city's history and culture.

We’ve done dozens of tours like this one and Lucia may be the best guide we’ve ever had. Great mix of information, fun, and recommendations. Brought Venice to life for us.

Lucia hat uns in perfektem Englisch&sehr unterhaltsam viel über die Venezianer und San Polo erzählt und auch gute Lokaltipps rund um den Rialtomarkt gegeben! Sehr empfehlenswert!

Great guide. Passed on the information very well. Very pleasant and gentle manner of the guide. Loved it

Lucia was great. She knows Venice very well and had lots of history and information for us. The tour was so interesting and Lucia's presentation kept everyone engaged. If it was with the history of Venice, the different times of the the Venetian Republic, the strange street numbering sequences, the attempt to change the street signs from Veneitian to Italian, the difference between a gondola and a sandolo, one came ouf of the tour with a new level of knowledge. This was a great tour with a great tour guide which was well worth it. I can't recommend it enough.

excelente

Nice tour.

Francesco was the only reason why I enjoyed Venice! Grazie, Francesco!

Would highly recommend this tour, the guide is wonderful, very friendly and you get a good feel for Venice.

Not only was there great information on the tour his recommendations at the end are amazing!

Nous avons passé un très bon moment en petit groupe avec Maria-Laura. Les infos partagées étaient intéressantes et variées. Les bonnes adresses et astuces données à la fin ont tenu leurs promesses ! Merci

Francesco prepared a great tour of the hidden streets in Venice - away from the crowds of turists. Didn’t think it was possible to walk in the empty streets of Venice in the middle of the day. We were just 7 participants to start with, and unfortunately 3 ladies walked away from the group soon after the start. Francesco finished the tour with only 4 of us remaining, and we really loved it!

Very informative and learnt a lot more of the history of Venice and how Venetians live.

Francesco ist ein sehr kompetenter und sehr sympathischer "junger Mann". Die Tour war sehr informativ und keinerweise langweilig. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen. Danke nochmal Francesco!

We could not recommend Francesco highly enough. This was an excellent tour of the hidden sights of Venice. Francesco was kind, witty, entertaining and engaging. The three hours flew by and we covered a lot of ground. This was a really quality walking tour. Would highly recommend.

It was great, very interesting if you've already seen the famous places. Gives you insight into history and hidden gems.

Francesco is a true local with a background as a curator. He has deep knowledge of the city and will take you on the route less traveled!

Excelente tour recorriendo lugares poco convencionales, pero muy interesantes

I would recommend this tour. It was interesting and relevant

Un tour por zonas más locales de Venecia. La guía muy profesional, muy buen inglés y aportando información muy interesante y no convencional de Venecia. Se camina por zonas no concurridas, lo cual se agradece. La organización de la información al final con una guía resumida en Maps muy práctica.

Excellent tour, guru was excellent and extremely personable and informative. Would recommend.

Francesco is a Venetian ninja, avoiding the tourist centres, slipping through the narrowest of back ways and providing a very knowledgeable insight into the hidden areas of this literally fantastic city - a chabad, the Illuminati and the city's most memorable bridge - Ponte Delle Tette! Loved it! Thank-you Francesco.
