Ricardo was a great guide who provided us with both information about the city, its history and its everyday life as well as very useful tourist tips. He had great sense of humour and we greatly appreciate the fact that he was not trying to "amuse" the group with some stupid anecdotes, jokes or stories which have nothing to do with facts. His English was also very good. Would definitely sightsee the city again with him!:)

We loved our walking tour with Mary. We learnt so many interesting facts about Venice and really enjoyed exploring a quieter area away from the main tourist attractions. Mary had a great mix of history and interesting facts. If you are in Venice it is well worth going on this tour as it gives you some fantastic context and information that you would otherwise have no idea about!
