For anyone looking for a true Venetian local who loves his city, you must tour with Ermanno. He was a wonderful tour guide. His passion for his home city is infectious. We learnt so much about the history of Venice, the influences on its architecture and way of life, and the many historical sites. Ermanno wove entertaining tales into his informative tour. He treated us like his friends and we certainly felt that way after our wonderful 3-hour tour. We 100% recommend Ermanno as your Venetian tour guide.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our tour guide, Ermanno C., in Venice. My children enjoyed the tour to the fullest, and Ermanno made the experience both engaging and memorable for all of us. Although the tour was scheduled for two hours, he generously spent extra time with us, sharing valuable insights and fascinating information about Venice. He was incredibly patient and friendly, answering all of my children's questions with enthusiasm and making them feel involved throughout the tour. His passion for the city, knowledge, and warm personality truly enhanced our visit. We had a fantastic time with him, and thanks to his guidance, our trip to Venice became a memorable experience that we will cherish for years to come. We highly recommend Ermanno to anyone visiting Venice!

We LOVED our tour. Ermanno gave such a perfect balance of history and interesting stories. He knew Venice so well, and clearly loved it. It was so much fun to see the city through a true local. He was also amazing with our kids.

Hermanno gave us an incredible private tour of his beautiful hometown, Venice, in May 2025. He brought the city to life, deepening our appreciation for the breathtaking artistry and architecture achieved centuries ago while weaving in the rich history of Venice and the Venetians. He pointed out countless details we would never have noticed on our own, completely transforming how we saw the city. The most touching moment was at the end, when he gave us a folded map he had personally marked with all the places we visited. It is now a treasured keepsake. If you want a tour that is insightful, personal, and truly memorable, book Hermanno.

Ermanno is a truly passionate Venetian and his love for his home shines through during the tour. Knowledgeable without barraging you with too much information, our family of 3 adults enjoyed the pace & parts of San Marco that he took us to. We were happy to learn about Venice from someone who's lived there all his life!
