    Our day in Venice was spent with the very best of guides, Alessandro. He knows his stuff and is very passionate about wanting you to understand his countries history. Way beyond what we expecting and are thrilled we were able to hook up with him. Be sure to get your tickets online prior to meeting him as you could miss part of his offerings. Alessandro we wish you the very best and thanks for setting us up going over to murano and burano islands. An incredible experience even though they weren’t apart of the tour. Great advice!!

    Great 2 hour tour if Basilica and Doge’s Palace!
    Monica_C, Jan 2023
    Alessandro was our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide for St. Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace. The 2-hour tour was the perfect amount of time to see the beautiful cathedral and its stunning mosaics especially while traveling with two college age young adults. Alessandro covered the history of both landmarks in an entertaining manner. The Doge’s Palace was impressive and it’s prisons haunting. The price of the tour did not include the skip the line entrance tickets which Alessandro purchased in advance and we reimbursed him when we met. Very enjoyable tour!
    Esperienza bellissima consigliata a tutti

    La guida Alessandro Trabucco ci ha condotto per più di due ore a bocca aperta alla scoperta delle meraviglie di Venezia con particolari e curiosità raccontati così bene, con passione, che non si può non memorizzarli per sempre...ci ritorneremo e sceglieremo ancora lui ..da provare!!!
    Tour eccellente con guida molto preparata

    Tour eccellente. Siamo stati accompagnati da Alessandro Trabucco, laureato in storia e molto appassionato nel suo lavoro. Ci ha raccontato la storia del palazzo con anche numerosi particolari che altrimenti sfuggono. Abbiamo potuto apprezzare in pieno tutte le bellezze del luogo. Eravamo solo noi due (era possibile aggiungere fino ad altri 4) e questo e’ stato di grande vantaggio in confronto a gruppi con anche necessità di spiegare in altre lingue. Tour perfetto. Grazie Alessandro e complimenti a Viator.
