Alex was such a wonderful host, guide, and historian. He greeted us warmly and enthusiastically. His knowledge of the basilica and palace was thorough yet not pedantic. We saw everything. We would readily recommend Alex if you want a fun and educational experience. Alex, grazie a Lei, Max and Gunner

Thanks a lot indeed for your words.
Alessandro was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Venice and its history. His ability to explain small details, as well as his ability to be a storyteller, not just a history teacher made the tour much more interesting than the usual guide experience. This was my first experience with a personal, as opposed to group, guided tour and it was well worth it.
Thanks a lot indeed for your beautiful words.
Our guide was professional, well informed, knew the history as of he was there., amazing guy. He was on time and did all that he promised
Thanks a lot for your words.
