Cecilia was personable, knowledgeable, and had valuable insights into Venetian culture, food, and wine. She shared the authentic side of Venice that can only be imparted by someone whose family has lived in the area for generations. We were able to access delicious establishments that only someone with inside access would frequent. This was the highlight of our visit to Venice! Gracie Cecilia!
Awesome experience! We loved having Cecilia tell us about the food and culture of Venice!
Cecilia was an excellent guide. Her family has lived in Venice for generations. She showed us aspects of Venice we would never have seen and helped us understand what it means to be Venetian. The leisurely cruise gave us an ideal vantage point to observe much of Venice’s diverse architecture, activity, and living conditions. We scheduled this pricey tour for the day we arrived in Venice. It was a great, and rather relaxing, way to launch our stay. Thank you Cecilia!
