Essential Free walking tours of Venice

Francesco was excellent ! The tour was for 3 hours but it didn’t seem like it thanks to his humor and wit ! Would highly recommend!

Francesco was very knowleadgeable and he took us “off the beaten path”. He showed us the hidden “backstreets” and particular stories about Venice. As an art curator he also showed us some art highlights of the city. I absolutely recommend his tour!

Francesco nos dio un tour distinto, explorando la Venecia escondida. Fue ameno, práctico, profesional, divertido y amable, solo por mencionar algunos aspectos. Ha sido mi mejor experiencia. ¡Gracias, Francesco!

Francesco es todo un personaje, enamorado de su ciudad nos ha mostrado lugares muy interesantes de Cannareggio y San Polo, fuera del recorrido habitual, conocia todos los caminos menos transitados, también paramos un rato para un café que estaba buenísimo. El itinerario no es circular, lo que permite recorrer una extensión bastante grande. El grupo suele ser pequeño, puedes hacer preguntas y vas a un ritmo tranquilo. Un excelente opción para pasar una tarde muy agradable.

The tour was very good and the guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative and also had a good sense of humour.

Un tour diferente! Merece la pena explorar la Venecia menos conocida de la mano de Francesco!

She was friendly and very patient for the questions. Tour was not in a rush, it was as I was wishing.

Worthwhile interesting facts. Some good tips. Took us to a local area with a number of bars and eatingplaces

Francesco is the best tour guide i’ve met. He is intelligent, humorous, and knows the city very very well.

What a fantastic introduction to Venice. We booked the tour for our first day and learnt a lot about venice and venetian culture.

We loved the tour of Venice (Cannaregio and Castello region) by Anne. We would recommend others to take the trip as well.

This is a long tour, but it is one of the best Inhave ever done. Expect to walk multiple miles and cross quite a bit of distance. Francesco Has obviously thought and researched the tour and the route and you will see things I haven’t seen if heard on any other tour. Few things to note: You’ll need a few euros to hand for a highlight of the tour. You’ll take a break of food and drink but do have a water bottle with you It’s a long tour so for good as sake for the guide a reasonable donation for the tour.

Información muy completa sobre Venecia en general a lo largo y al final del tour y un guía muy profesional, con los cascos se escucha mucho mejor una visita. Lo único, que nos esperábamos un poco más, nos ha parecido corto y la verdad, no muchos lugares interesantes, pero bueno, los que hemos visto muy chulos.

Francesco is the best! Great humor and definitely a character. Very knowledgeable and saw unique things that I wouldn’t have ever known about even though I’ve walked by them a ton! Def take his tour great guide! He’s a back street guy!

Simona was extremely professional, knowledgeable, caring and informative. The tour was a perfect length of just under 2 hours and we learned a variety of general info about Venice’s history, cultural features, the structure of the city and architecture, and social life. Would highly recommend!!

Annachiara was a wonderful, expert guide. We learnt a lot about Venice and the islands. What a beautiful place. We were taken to places we wouldn’t have found ourselves or simply would have walked through without understanding the interesting history. Thank you, Annachiara!

Would highly recommend this tour if your planning on staying for a short time

Francesco is an erudite personality who has a deep knowledge of his city of birth. He will show you what your eyes may not be able to easily discerne. Highly recommended and he puts a lot of effort in to his tour.

Great tour!!!

I feel that my wife and I know Venice a lot more and have confidence to go and explore even more.

Simona es encantadora, hizo el tour súper ameno y sus historias nos hicieron comprender cómo vivían y como viven realmente en Venecia

Our tour was entertaining and really helpfull to understand local history and coulture better. We saw places where I wouldnt have gone by myself. Only disadvanrage was foggy weather! Guide spoke clear English and it was easy to follow the speech.

Interesting, informative and engaging. Great insight into a ‘non-touristy’ area of Venice with some quirks about the way of life included

Francesco conoce con detalle los lugares que muestra, las conexiones culturales y artísticas y lo explica de forma muy entendible. Este tour es realmente un paseo por las "backstreets" de Venecia

Francesco has given an amazing tour passing through the side streets and hidden gems of Venice ! He didn’t outstanding work in showing and telling the beautiful stories about the beautiful city! Highly recommend recommended
