We have just returned from another wonderful visit to Italy, this time the beautiful Sirmione. We wanted to be in Verona on Wednesday for the Elton John concert and we could only get flights to Venice for Tuesday. There are a few ways ti travel from Venice to Sirmione but we wanted a hassle free professional service to start our Italian break. My first contact with DMR was an email to Renzo who promptly replied with not only an extremely competitive price but lots of information of where to be and what to look for when we arrived in Venice airport which filled me with confidence from the start. Renzo collected us and was the perfect host making us feel very welcome and making the 1.5 hour journey feel effortless. Renzo then gave us a collection time for the return journey home where his colleague Fabio continued the friendly professional service back to Venice airport. I have no hesitation giving DMR full praise.. Well done guys!!

My wife and I found this tour was a pleasant way to familiarize ourselves with Padua. The Srovegni Chapel is a must for Renaissance art lovers. The guided tour format is ideal for understanding Giotto's work as you are limited to a 15 minute period inside the Chapel. Our guide Tiziana used this time superbly to point out each panel and the important features. Great memories!

So amazing to see the oldest covered theatre in the world from 1580. What genius to construct those sets which appear to be 3D. I hope to come back someday to enjoy a performance there! The Basilica Palladian and the Chiesa di Santa Corona are also worthy of a visit. The views atop the Basilica Palladian are breathtaking and the beautiful altar and paintings in the Chiesa are a must to see. What a genius Palladio was! Make sure you see the facades of the Loggia Del Capitaniato and the Palazzo Chiericati.

We arrived at the church by the Rialto bridge and Anna was waiting for us. We started on time as we introduced each other. We walked through the market close to the Rialto bridge, although as we were on a later tour, the fish market was over. First stop was a cichetti bar close by where I had a whipped salted cod open sandwich. Delicious. Anna explained about the history of cichetti, about the reason why certain dishes have been created, while we ate. We wandered round the narrow streets of San Polo while Anna pointed out buildings, shops, told stories about food, in between each food stop. We visited a few cichetti bars which each had their own specialties. We sampled wines. We tried prosciutto, ham, cheeses in a small deli and bought a bottle of a heavenly balsamic condiment to take home. After the savouries came the sweet - cakes, pastries and amazing gelateria. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hour tour and we will do it again if we revisit Venice. A perfect way to experience the city and one definitely to be a DO NOT MISS THIS tour. Thank you Anna. We had a great time and ate far too much!! ????

I booked a tour with these folks over the Christmas and New Year's holiday. As an avid photographer, my goal was to capture some of the more out of the way places in Venice, and to do it at night. Mark & Carla were wonderful guides, walking me around the city exploring dark corners, telling stories, and negotiating with locals to let us into areas that we generally wouldn't be able to see or even know about. They also provided, at the end of our walk, a map of the areas we explored, as well as information about other places and sights that I might be interested in exploring on my own. All in all, a great experience. These people take the time to do it right. Never felt rushed or intimidated or bound to a schedule or path.

Renzo and the tour guide Vilma were outstanding. I could not have found a better tour guide. My mother was using a walker and they were most attentive and helpful to her, got us around very easily, and we saw way more than we would have seen without their kind and thoughtful service. They were knowledgeable about the area and we learned a lot. I highly recommend this service.
