Essential Free walking tours of Venice

Alice was very knowledgeable and we covered a lot of areas we would never have discovered on our own. The shared documents with suggestions was appreciated!

Francesco is indeed the ‘backstreet boy’ expert of Venice; unraveling the history of Venice in his own unique way

Fascinating tour of less touristy part of Venice

Tour imperdible para aquellos que vengan a Venecia

We wanted the hidden Venice and we got it! A bonus was a short trip in a gondola which we were not expecting. Grazie mille Francesxo!

I appreciated his humor and the attempt to engage the audience. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his topic. As a life long resident he certainly knows the info. I learned a lot that was off the typical beaten path.

Yours was very good and gave a good use of Veneza beyond San Marco

Had a wonderful tour in Venice! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience truly enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Francesco really is a character. But above all that, he showed us the streets of Venice, and knowing them is really an art; the information he shared was incredible, both entertaining and teaching us about history. 100% reccomend

Simona was very professional, provided a lot of valuable information, answered all the questions in great detail, ensured that all members of the group were looked after and use many anecdotes and humour to emphasise key points of the tour. Very impressed. Well done Simona

We joined the Hidden Gem Tour with Francesco, and it was absolutely wonderful! His passion for Venice and its secret corners truly shines through. Thanks to him, we discovered a side of the city that most visitors never see — authentic, peaceful, and full of stories. Francesco shares his knowledge with charm, humor, and genuine enthusiasm, bringing every alley and square to life. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the real Venice, away from the crowds. More than worth it!

This was an exceptional tour. Alice took us to the "off the beaten path" places and was very engaging. She helped us better understand the different neighborhoods of Venice, the history and how people live in Venice today. She was knowledgeable and personable. It just goes to show that so many times the tip based tours have the very best guides.

Visiting of the hidden places was fascinating. We really enjoyed the tour

Lucia explica la historia de Venecia de una manera divertida e interesante, ha sido una experiencia muy agradable.

Francesco was amazing, he gave us an overview of unconventional place. He was very interactive, very interesting. To be better, some histories about teatre or San Marco Square.

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

Francesco è stato disponibile esauriente alle nostre domande e ci ha mostrato posti che non avremmo mai cisto

Francesco was knowledgeable and interesting. He took us the back streets and less touristy parts of Venice. I enjoyed his tour, he definitely knows the city well.

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.
