The tour of Venice and gondola ride were amazing. My mom and I both learned a lot about Venice’s architecture and history from our guide Riccardo. Riccardo was funny and very informative! Would recommend this experience to anyone in Venice.

Ricardo was an outstanding guide. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. We quickly became friends. The surprise visit to see a VR story telling of the history of Venice was an outstanding and unexpected pleasure. Our gondolier was amazing skilled as he guided us through the narrow canals without a mishap.
