Our guide was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and friendly. She allowed us to explore some on our own as well as being near by to answer any questions.

We had an amazing experience with Emanuela during our trip to Murano and Burano! She was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, sharing fascinating details about the islands’ history and culture in a fun, engaging way. It was clear she genuinely cared about everyone in the group and made the day feel relaxed and enjoyable. Emanuela also went above and beyond by recommending some fantastic local restaurants, which turned out to be excellent. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend her!

Julia was absolutely amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable on history and one of the friendliest tour guides we have had! The gelato she recommended on Burano was the absolute best gelato we’ve had in Venice overall
