Absolutely FABULOUS! Elizabeth was incredible and brought the place to life. I especially enjoyed how she started with information about the general area then we went to the basilica and the palace! She even brought chocolate & was more than happy to give us recommendations where to eat. Over our past week in Europe, this was the best tour hands down! I wish everyone loved their jobs as much as Elizabeth!

Great, informative tour with Clare. She is a local and provided tons of information about Benicia history. Really interesting. We did a winter tour and there was barely anyone around. Great to avoid crowds.

Really liked this trip...There was so much to know about know about history of Venice.. Our guide Kiara gave us too many inside stories...Recommended

A must do in Venice! So good to learn about these wonderful structures!

Claire was a fantastic guide, knowledgable, funny and passionate.
