This last Sunday of “quarantine” was to be fully exploited! Just few cars and spring sunshine, "Viaggiare Curiosi" rents wonderful e-mountain bikes that’d make my grandmother climbing a mountain! So I highly recommend to anyone to rent these bikes and take a ride on the hills, why? It’s super easy, also for a beginner! (Climbing with a normal bike it’s only for pros). High quality bikes and very attentive service (I had a punctured tyre but the emergency equipment allowed me to leave immediately = no stress), with a price accessible to everyone, complete the package of a beautiful afternoon! Grazie Carmen e Giorgio!

Nadia is incredibly passionate about Venice and her love of her city shows through. My family and another family (4 adults, 3 children) spent four hours with her - three walking around and one on a boat. I told her we had been to Venice multiple times over the years and wanted to bypass the 'typical' tourist sites. I laid a desire for a theme (history and Venice as the natives see it) and she prepared a wonderful tour. Her pacing was spot on and the tour kept building until the very end. She set the ending time to conclude with an on-the-water view of St Mark's Square. Both families were incredibly impressed and kept talking about the tour long into the evening and next day. She kept the interest of children and adults alike. I can't recommend her enough. Please find her at friendinvenice dot com and send her an email. Whether you've been to Venice a thousand times or this is your first visit -- you'll learn something new and see parts you've never seen before. Bravo, Nadia!
