We had to cancel our trip to Italy and asked to Fiorella to organise for us another experience in Venice. She was our guide two years ago and was so nice to do a virtual tour from home just for us. She took a lot pictures of canaregio and the Jewish Ghetto and gave us a plenty of information. We really appreciate it! We were so glad to meet Fiorella again and talk a lot about Venice and Italy! Many thanks

Great experience but watch out for the "swap the glass with a broken one scam" we paid E500 for 2 glasses, got back on the cruise ship only to find a chip in the glass. These were perfect when we chose them in the gallery. A big shame as it let down an otherwise great day with a free (though apparently not) water taxi ride from the main part of Venice, had to make own way back which was easy though

Since they are born, Venetians walk around Venice and go by boats. This is the very essence of their city. And now, the good news: this can be done also in time of Covid! Get on a boat, have a guide accompany you and discover the secrets of St. Mark’s square, find hidden gems in less kown areas of the city, visit the northern islands to learn how a glass work is born, how the wonderful art of lace-making still survives thanks to the tireless hands of industrious women and where Venice finds her roots. No museums, no churches, but still…the magnificence of a less-crowded Venice at your feet!
