“It was a great experience with Mateo! It was just my boyfriend, myself, and him. It felt more private and awesome! We enjoyed getting to see parts of the city we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. It was also cool to have a break in between and go on the gondola and see the city another way other than via our feet. Mateo is super informed about everything and made sure we got all the information we needed. Would recommend to all of our friends heading into Venice!”

“I was looking for a trip that would include as much as possible in a day because I was short on time and this one didn't disappoint. In the morning, our guide was Grazia who was born and raised in Venice, had very good (C level) English and was very knowledgeable about both the Doge's Palace and the St Mark's Basilica.
