Guide was a great guy. Very engaging and informative. But the gardens weren’t great. Most of them were mainly veg gardens.

We were glad to find some peaceful green spaces within the city. Valerio showed us a public park, which we would never have found, and three very different private gardens

This has been my first trip to Venice and has been everything and more than I expected. This was my introduction to a world not seen by everyone behind the walls of some of Venice's most unique gardens. My guide Valerio, was both exceedingly knowledgeable and a wonderful host. From his wonderful anecdote's about the history of these gardens, to his knowledge on all the different flora and forna. I couldn't have wished for anything better.

Excellent way to start our trip in Venice! Our guide was wonderful and provided excellent information. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting an off the beaten path type of tour with a guide who really took the time to be personable with us and make it a wonderful experience.

The guide Valero was quite knowledgeable about not only the gardens and their histories, but about Venice as well, especially for a tourist.

My two grown sons, daughter-in-law, and I took Valerio's tour of secret gardens. We really enjoyed Valerio as well as the gardens we would never have ha a chance to see. As we walked from place to place, he also told us a number of interesting facts about places we passed. It was a lovely way to spend part of our day.

The garden tour was very informative by Valerio particularly as we were interested in lots of non garden Venice stuff that being a Venice native, Valerio could help us with!
