SwitzerlandSuperb behind the scenes tour of Venice in 2 hours - away from the crowds and a chance to ask all the questions you want about this truly unique place from an actual Venetian. Ermanno is informative, interesting, funny and considerate - with 30 years experience in the tourism business as well. But it's his insider knowledge, and his passion for his home city, that makes this tour really special. Worth every penny - has whetted our appetite for a second visit.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you wonderful family !!

AustraliaLoved this tour - so good to steer away from the crowds and see where the the real Venetians live. Ermanno was fabulous; so much information about the history, culture and people of Venice. We had our 3 children (22, 19, 16) and they really enjoyed it too. Would definitely recommend.

Fabiola Dominguez
United StatesErmanno is all you can expect of a tour guide plus more. Already was waiting for us at our meeting location. The knowledge that Ermanno has about his Venice is outstanding, he easily accommodated to our schedule and pace, as a local resident of Venice he was able to show us parts of the city that we were not aware of its existence. Without a doubt we highly recommend Ermanno, if you are planning to visit Venice, Italy. Best wishes and thanks to Ermanno, Fabiola & Jorge
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Molte Grazie !!!!
John Goodale
United StatesDid a great job of leading at our pace. Got us away from the noise and busyness of the crowds to show us what felt like Venice at a deeper, more authentic level than many probably experienced on that day. Would highly recommend! Thanks for providing this service that gave us the experience we were hoping for in Venice,
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you John..and thank at all the Group !!

United StatesErmanno was fantastic! Very knowledgable, patient and friendly. We went beyond time limit, and he went with us on water bus back to our hotel to make sure we didn't get lost. Would highly recommend him for your private tours. A. Bellin California

Charles Duggan
United StatesA disappointing tour. Ermanno was unenthusuastic, and negative about Venice early and often. We get it, Venice is just a tourist city now, but we didn't need to hear how awful the situation has become for the locals. Especially in light of the fact that we are, of course, tourists ourselves. Ermanno needs to gain perspective, and realize that chastizing tourists (his clients) does not make for an enjoyable tour. Did not engage the kids at all. Regrettable.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: I am pretty sure this was a misunderstanding.
TOURSBYLOCALS RESPONSE: Traveler comments were passed on to Ermanno's guide support manager who will re-assess his English skills accordingly.
Ingrid Appels
NetherlandsWe had a 3 hour tour of Cannaregio as well as San Marco area, which for us was a very nice combination. Ermanno ('one of the last Venetians') was very eager to show us the authentic Venice, not overloaded by tourism. He made clear that Venice has become 'Venice Land', a place for tourists and hardly anymore for Venetians. It gave a rather sad perspective to the beautiful city. Meanwhile Ermanno also showed us many very nice and interesting details that opened up Venetian history.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank You Ingrid...from "One of the last Venetians"!!!!
