Hi to all the tourists out there who are excited to get to know more about my hometown of Venice. I'm licensed tour guide, I've been doing walking tours for seven years, and I was born and raised in Venice.
Over this period, I have met people from many different cultures and had the chance to share some of Venice's most beautiful places and many of it's hidden secrets. I have enjoyed the experience so much, that I have earned over 250 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor for my tours in Venice.
Francesco did take us to some interesting and lesser known / hidden spots and told good stories about them. He has a particular sense of humour so he warned it’s not for everyone, and he can be a little hard to understand. He will take you on a traghetto (cool, 2eur) and to a not very good, overpriced cicchetti bar for a rest (not cool, find somewhere better there’s literally about 100 other options! Probably another 5-10 eur) so factor into your budgeting. Also if you look Asian he will assume you’re from China and point at you when he decries cheap souvenir tat made in China, so you can enjoy that too. We did a bucketload of steps, great church at the end. He’s clearly passionate about his city so thank you for sharing it!
Amazing tour with pleasant surprises along the way. Francesco provided humor and a great depth of knowledge. 10/10!
