Lucia was an amazing guide for this tour, very engaging and knowledgeable as she walks you down the less-traveled alleys of Venice exploring both history and modern life in the city. Lucia made the hours fly by with her humor and insight, and as a local she had plenty of recommendations and advice for everyone in our group. We can’t recommend this tour enough!

For anyone who are tired of being part of the dense tourist crowds walking from Rialto bridge to Piazza San Marco and back I would strongly recommend taking a walking tour with Lucia in Dorsoduro. She is a very knowledgeable and extremely nice guide who showed us unique places in Venice without typical tourists traffic. It’s hard to believe but at some point, we found ourselves in completely empty streets and bridges in Venice which was a very special experience. It was tremendously interesting and very enjoyable experience.

We were able to understand and learn many aspects that normally escape, many details that hide pieces of history and unexpected connections to daily life and the peculiarities of Venice, super recommended!
