Lucia was such a lovely guru guide and was able to keep the tour upbeat despite the weather. Learnt a lot about the architecture and the symbolism used, the general history of the most successful republic to date and some useful information about the city. I would highly recommend! Thanks, Lucia!!

The instructor was very professional, nice, diligent, witty and also very didactic. She seems to have a lot of passion for the subject, and the tour was really great, well done!

Lucia was a great guide, really knowledgeable and friendly and gave lots of tips for other things to do and see, not only on Venice but elsewhere in Italy (as I am travelling to a few places) :)
