Venice Free Walking Tour

Best guide avaiable in Venice. Het tour is lively, and interactive. Gives good bite sized information on all kind of subjects. Room for questions and after the tour i had some indepth knowledge which I could not find on the internet or in guidebooks.

We did the afternoon tour with Anna and it was incredible! The time flew by - Anna made it very informative and interesting and exactly what you wish for in a walking tour. We saw parts of Venice we never would have seen otherwise and enjoyed learning about the history and structure of the unique city. Since Anna was a art history major she had a lot of great insight into some of the art work we saw in a local church and that was very cool! I can't recommend it enough!

Wonderful "Venice through the centuries North" tour with Simona. So much knowledge and showing us that even with all the history Venice has always been and is still a city of locals. Educational, perfect pace, and very friendly guide.

We had an insightful and entertaining two hours of the “Venice through the centuries North” tour. Simona was a great storyteller, taking us through the rich history of Venice touching a wide variety of topics like the building of the city, life in a stratified society back then, famous Venetians and more - leaving us inspired and curious to discover more of this colourful city!

Simona was our guide through Venice, the tour was through places of Venice you wouldn’t normally see which was lovely - Simona was full of life, and fun jokes throughout the tour. She was informative and had an answer to any question asked during the tour! Would recommend to anyone looking for a tour of Venice through the less touristy areas.

We had two amazing tours during our stay in Venice, both which showed us a different kind of Venice than just the main tourist attractions. All thanks to the amazing (and licensed) guides of Venice Free Walking tours. Marielaura and Anna, thanks again for the wonderful tour, all the fun things you thought us about the city and its beautiful history and especially for best tips for the rest of our stay in Venice!

Just returned from the 11am tour. Simona was a fabulous guide - she is a sociologist - could you have a more perfect background to lead a tour like this??!! It’s the best way to explore Venice and learn little bits about the history, architecture and why the city is the way it is. Everything was well organised and we had a friendly, respectful group.

We loved the tour and our guide Simona! It was very informative, funny and at a nice pace. We have learnt so much during the tour and were able to use that information for the remaining stay at Venice! Highly recommend it! Aciu Simona 😊

We did the Venice through the Centuries Tour and our guide was Simona. Absolutely recommend this tour when you are in Venice. We learned so much about the history of Venice and Simona was so knowledgeable and most important made the tour fun.

Simona did an amazing job of showing us the more hidden parts of Venice. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Definitely a must do!

Simona was lovely, energetic, informative, and fun! The tour was filled with interesting stories and facts. Simona’s background and expertise in Sociology informed her tour very nicely.

The tour was not what we expected and I mean that in the best possible way. Our guide, Simona, was super knowledgeable and professional while keeping it simple, fun and interactive the whole time. The tour won't take you to some popular turistic attractions instead you explore a whole new depth of this beautiful place. It is a great way to find out about history but also the present Venice. We would recommend this to anyone visiting Venice. Thank you Simona and no worries, we're okay with Marco Polo being Venetian 😂🇭🇷

This was an excellent tour with Simona. She was informative and engaging. The content of the tour was varied and Simona was able to answer every question asked, adding additional context which was so helpful for gaining a better understanding of Venice and the Venetians! Would definitely recommend going on this tour with Simona!

Loved loved loved everything about our tour with Simona yesterday! We did the 11am tour of “Venice through the years” and learned so many great facts about Venice, in a fun, humorous and interactive way! Even my teenage kids found the tour engaging and we kept talking about the facts we learned the next day! We are so grateful for your service, as it’s certainly made it more accessible for us as a family to enjoy a cultural activity in Venice…

Great visit with Simona. I learned a lot of interesting thing about the city. I really liked the fact that the tour is interactive. Her sense of humour is a great bonus to the tour.

We went on the Legends & Curiosities of Venice tour with Laura. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing so many areas that we never would have found as a typical tourist. We learnt so much more about the city, more so than on any other trip and Laura was the most interesting and enthusiastic guide. I feel like we got a glimpse into real Venetian life. Thanks Laura!

We had a wonderful walking tour with Simona. She was fun and witty. She made it interactive by engaging us with questions. She provided visuals and and stories along the way. She took us off the beaten path. I highly recommend the Venice through the Centuries tour!

Simona was really engaging, informative, fun and lively especially on a 32°c humid day in Venice! She had diagrams of how the city was built, shared excellent food recommendations and inspired a local way of looking at Venice rather than a tourist one.

We loved Simona’s tour! She was very funny, knowledgeable, and kind. I love how she humanized the Venice experience and really emphasized the community of locals that live there. Her advice helped a lot when picking out restaurants and navigating the different campos of the city. We HIGHLY recommend this tour.

Simone is a brilliant guide - she gave us a personal, informative, quirky tour of Venice. She didn’t take us to all the landmarks, but rather took us to places that were examples and insights into Venice’s history and the life of locals through time. There was a degree of personalisation to the tour - I asked for a ghost story and she told it to me as we walked to the next destination.
