We had a very enjoyable and interesting walking tour with Lorenzo. He suggested some areas to spend time in and we chose Castello which we probably would not have done on our own. It was more of a residential area and a very pleasant walk. Lorenzo provided lots of interesting commentary about living in Venice, and also about the Arsenal, which is also in Castello. He also paid attention to our request to take it slow and take breaks as needed. We enjoyed this tour with Lorenzo.

Lorenzo showed us the off-the-beaten path of Venice, showing us a glimpse of real Venetian living. He’s very knowledgeable in his history and took us beyond the crowds and the regular tourist points. It is a very different point of view that we truly appreciated. Such good & lively conversation from the moment he picked us up in our hotel & the drop off to our more touristy activity, the gondola ride :) Grazie Lorenzo!

Excellent, very friendly, he knew a lot about the history of the city and explained all the tips to make the most of our stay, and he also took us to hidden spots where tourists don't go.

Fantastic way to explore Venice, it felt like visiting with a friend. We learnt alot about the city and living there, and saw places we would never have found on our own. Lunch at a great restaurant with beautiful food, and Lorenzo was such a great guide and fun person to spend time with. Highly recommend, this was a highlight of our Italian vacation.

The best thing about the tour has been our guide. Lidia has been really charming and has known how to convey her love for Venice to us. A 100% recommended experience.

The tour was excellent - my only recommendation is to bring water with you. It was hot when we walked, and I mean power walked, for two hours. A great way to see the non-touristy side to the city.
