Annachiara was very informative and provided a good history of Venice as well as some more niche information that only someone living in Venice could give.

“Northern Venice ”
Very interesting tour far from the touristic classic areas. Helen gave us very clear historical landmarks and took us to the local area of Cannagero. I recommend this tour.

“A very interesting tour”
As the tour says, the tour takes you through lesser known areas and you get to know a bit more history outside of the traditional monuments. The guide Anna was great, she had a degree in art history and her knowledge of the art and history of the city was appreciated. To put a downside, perhaps I missed some more history in this regard. To know what the customs were like in the Golden Age of Venice, history of Carnival, etc..... Overall, very happy with the tour and a highly recommended guide!

“Fantastic tour”
This was a very informative tour of an out of the way area of Venice. Annaciara was a very knowledgeable guide and provided lots of useful facts and took us to some amazing places we would never have found in our own. I preferred this to the tourist route that everyone goes on. A must do whilst in Venice.
