“Great Synthesis of the Doge's Palace and Basilica”

My wife and I used a tour guide for the first time last summer in Florence, and I learned then how beneficial a guide can be. So, for this trip to Venice - my son and I spent some time reading reviews of different guides before booking with Sabrina. She definitely lived up to our expectations. Sabrina was on time, prepared, engaging etc. She led us on a wonderful tour of the Palace and Basilica and helped tie together the importance of what we were seeing (without getting bogged down in the details that would bore our children). She kept them engaged, and really told us a story that brought to life what life must have been like for Doge's up until Napoleon's arrival. When we were finished, I asked our kids what they thought - was it too much information? Too long? They both agreed that it was perfect (and they're 12 and 15). So, she did a great job. As our time ended, she answered our questions about how to join in for Palm Sunday processions, and told us to feel free to contact her with follow-up questions. I would recommend Sabrina to anyone visiting Venice.

Hello Brandon, Thank you so much for your kind words and for the truly delightful morning we shared together. Moments like these are what make my work so rewarding. A guide’s commentary can change greatly depending on the audience—and I can honestly say that you and your family brought out the very best in me. Your curiosity, attention, and genuine interest were remarkable and deeply appreciated. I hope you return home carrying not just memories, but also a richer understanding of Venice—its history, its spirit, and its unique culture. Take care, and my very best wishes to you all.

“Eva G. Is an excellent guide”

Eva toured us through Florence and was excellent! Eva is attractive and personable; we all enjoyed being with her, especially our teenage granddaughters. She is so knowledgeable, highly educated in Tuscan history, and her English is easy to understand.We have seen Florence before, but she is the first guide to show us the Roman stone with grapestomping and shipping , which is reused on the side wall of the Duomo. We saw Santa Croce, Piazza Signoria, Ponte Vecchio, the Loggia Medici, some gift shops we were interested in, a wonderful old restaurant Eva knew about, the Accademia, and finally, after spending longer than we had arranged for, Eva delivered us to the Uffizi Galleries.She was well-prepared, with lots of old pictures of areas on an ipad to illustrate the changes in Florence and its city plan. Eva is a fine guide whose tours would benefit anyone.
