This was a fantastic tour! Lucia is a very knowledgeable and proudly Venetian! She gave us so much interesting information on the history , culture and cuisine of Venice. Taking us through lesser known and quieter parts of the city . It was a highlight of our stay in Venice. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you Lucía !

What can I say? Lucia is the perfect tour guide. She is incredibly warm and kind. Visiting Venice and want a 'friend' to show you all the good stuff? ... A guide who is chilled out when your kids are playing up, and ensures that everyone is fully engaged? This is Lucia!! I'm so pleased that I found her, and we really had a fantastic few hours together. Very appreciative, and highly recommend her work. A fountain of knowledge too! A+++++++++

Lucia was fantastic from start to finish. She provided great recommendations ahead of our trip to Venice. The tour we went on with her was engaging and informative and made us love the Venice even more. Highly recommend this tour with Lucia Bondetti

Lucia led us on a fascinating tour! Lucia is very knowledgeable and friendly. Her bright and joyful explanations were illuminating. We had our elderly mother with us and Lucia made sure the tour wasn't too taxing, including stops and places to sit and rest. Thank you, Lucia, it was a delight to meet you!

We have traveled a lot and had a lot of cultural tours and Lucia is at the best of the best of guides. A lover of Venice with a degree in art history and an engaging and generous personality, we explored Dorsoduro, were shown gorgeous vistas, quiet gardens, magnificent churches and sweet shopping areas. We also learned a lot about what it's like to live in Venice: fruit and vegetable shopping, transportation, recycling and economics. She answered my art history and history questions, recommended an excellent osteria that specialized in fish and told us where to get the best gelato. It was a lovely, satisfying experience and afterwards we walked for another 6 hours, stopping at many of her suggestions.

We met Lucia on a crowded, hot and humid Venetian day, with my kids (ages 10 and 13) not in the mood for ANYTHING. Despite this, she engaged them. We went on the hidden gardens tour, and were surprised at the tranquility to be found so near otherwise bustling spots. I loved climbing the completely non-touristy bell tower that she unexpectedly took us to, and my youngest was deliciously frightened by the crypt, and so excited that he had done it afterwards. I absolutely recommend this tour! Fantastic and surprising!

We had a wonderful morning with Lucia On a Venice off the Beaten Path tour. She shared her great knowledge clearly and was able to readily answer any questions that arose. Her enthusiasm for the hidden gems we visited was infectious. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and spending time with her in beautiful Venice.
