The Best Tour Ever - The tour with Nico changed my trip. Upon my arrival, I thought Venice was another old city, but surrounded by water. After exploring the Doge and basilica with Nico, I’m tempted to buy a book on the history of Venice to read on my flight home. Nico answered all of our questions and more, and even made our brief wait in line a cultural learning experience. Once inside, he provided insight after insight, bringing to life not just the history of Venice, but the individuals who made it. Very grateful, Andrew and Elizabeth McAdams

Private tours are worth it! - Nico was so knowledgeable and such a gifted storyteller. He was also so inclusive and attentive to my elderly mom who takes her time. He didn’t rush us, answered all our questions and tailored the experience to our interests. We enjoyed every moment. Thanks so much Nico! - Rebekah and Libby
