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.
Excellent tour, off the beaten path. Highly recommended
I have taken guru walk tours all over the world, and this one is, by far, the best I've ever been on. Francesco took us on the back streets of Venice and it felt surreal. Quiet, peaceful, educational. An absolute delight! I could have spent three more hours. Grazie!!
Very entertaining and informative. Although I was in Venice a couple of times before, I heard new things and walked backstreets I never walked before.
I have done many tours all around the world — in Europe, Asia, America and I can honestly say that I have never met a guide like Francesco. What we experienced today was not just a tour. It was storytelling at its highest level. Francesco took us through the less touristy side of Venice, including the Jewish Ghetto and hidden corners of the city that most visitors would never discover on their own. But what truly made the experience extraordinary was not only the places, it was him. His charisma is simply on another level. The way he expresses himself, the passion in his voice, the way he builds suspense, the way he keeps you fully engaged from beginning to end… it’s something you cannot fake. You don’t just listen to him, you feel the history through him. He has that rare ability to make every single person feel connected, involved, and genuinely interested. Not for a second does your attention drift. You’re completely there, completely immersed. Beyond his incredible knowledge and talent as a storyteller, he is an amazing human being, warm, kind, humble, and close to people. You can feel that he truly cares about what he does and about the people he’s guiding. If every destination in the world had a guide even half as good as Francesco, traveling would be an even more magical experience than it already is. Francesco, thank you for making Venice unforgettable. You are not just a guide, you are exceptional.
Great informative and full of interactions with the participants. Definitely a highly recommended tour in Venice. Thanks a lot!
