Very good, contacted by our guide Mattia beforehand. Took us to the north side of Venice which had some different history to what you'd usually encounter around St Marks' Square etc. The benefit of a private tour is that you can ask all manner of (stupid) questions, for which he had all answers to! Would recommend as an additional tour to a self-exploration of the main attractions. 8.5/10

The guide was very knowledgeable. It would help to have a visual or 2, especially when discussing timelines.
