Antonella took us on a wonderful tour of Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica. She was on time, professional, prepared, and best of all, enthusiastic about Venice and showing us a good time. Antonella makes a great ambassador for the city of Venice, and you will conclude the tour with an enhanced understanding of its history as well as its... More

I'm so glad we booked this 3-hour tour. Federica met us on time and was very flexible about building a tour that matched our interest. I was a little dubious of spending almost an hour in the St. Mark's Square area and had seen my share of churches already, but Federica made the area come alive. Even though I had... More

Totally agree with previous review (Sharon). Felt secretly relieved every time our group of four negotiated through the massive, impersonal groups. Antonella was informative, personable and so willing to tailor her tour to meet our needs. It was delightful to tour the back streets of Venice, learning fascinating historical facts and learning about the real life experiences of modern day... More

My friend and I really enjoyed our private walking tour of Venice with Antonella Fantoni. She is extremely knowledgeable about Venetian history and also very personable. I was very glad we were not part of one of the huge tour groups which plough through the main attractions of Venice. In those you have no ability to ask questions and for... More

My husband and I had one full day in Venice at the end of April 2013. Federica gave us a wonderful tour for two hours, tailoring it to our interest in photography. She met us at a local landmark at our request and delivered us to St Mark's Square. We covered a lot of ground and history in the time... More

We're not into visiting churches and the like, and though Federica will undoubtedly have an in-depth knowledge of these things - "real" guides have to take a very rigorous exam - we were much more interested in understanding the history and stuff. Assuredly we did not want to be part of a gaggle, so discovering Discovering Venice hit the spot.... More

A very strong 5 stars for or recent tour of Venice. Federica was wonderful in helping us plan our day. She tailored it based on our interests and goals for our brief time in the beautiful city if Venice. We met at our hotel and started on our way. During our travels our children really wanted to see the fish... More

My husband and I visited Venice for the first time. Therefore we opted to do a private 3 hour walking tour of Venice and a 1 hour tour by private water taxi tour of the canals with Antonella Fantoni from DiscoveringVenice who is a Licensed Tourist Guide. We booked the tour with her over the internet and e-mail. From the... More

We had a 2 hour walking tour and then 1 hour by water taxi with Federica a couple of weeks ago. Federica really tailored the tour for our interests. It was a lovely sunny day and we wanted to be outside rather than look at exhibitions so we went on a long meander away from the crowds. Federica really knows... More
