“We were lucky to have Annalisa leading the group, a guide with a charming personality and a broad knowledge of the area. Annalisa provided a very interesting description of the history of Venice and put into context the social atmosphere of the time which enriched the value of the tour. I highly recommend this event. My only suggestion to the organizers is to pick a meeting point with an easier access, as navigating Venice maze some times is challenging with a time sensitive event.”

“The tour started very chaotic. The staff didn't know where the guide was and they told us different things about where to gather. The tour started late and lasted for 1 hour instead of the 2 hours we paid for. The tour guide didn't give us much information about the places we visited. We didn't learn new things. Very dissapointing. This was the worst walking tour we ever had.”
